The PRISMA-EcoEvo extension was published in 2021. The main text provides a 27-item checklist and guidance for reporting systematic reviews and meta-analyses of primary research in ecology and evolutionary biology. The Supporting Information provides results of surveys to assess perceptions and standards of reporting quality of systematic reviews and meta-analyses published in ecology and evolutionary biology, and examples of each reporting item from a published paper in the field.
