Evolutionary Ecology

期刊简介：Evolutionary Ecology is a concept-oriented journal of biological research at the interface of ecology and evolution. We publish papers that therefore integrate both fields of research: research that seeks to explain the ecology of organisms in the context of evolution, or patterns of evolution as explained by ecological processes. The journal publishes original research and discussion concerning the evolutionary ecology of organisms. These may include papers addressing evolutionary aspects of population ecology, organismal interactions and coevolution, behaviour, life histories, communication, morphology, host-parasite interactions and disease ecology, as well as ecological aspects of genetic processes. The objective is to promote the conceptual, theoretical and empirical development of ecology and evolutionary biology; the scope extends to any organism or system.In additional to Original Research articles, we publish Review articles that survey recent developments in the field of evolutionary ecology; Ideas & Perspectives articles which present new points of view and novel hypotheses; and Comments on articles recently published in Evolutionary Ecology or elsewhere. We also welcome New Tests of Existing Ideas - testing well-established hypotheses but with broader data or more methodologically rigorous approaches; - and shorter Natural History Notes, which aim to present new observations of organismal biology in the wild that may provide inspiration for future research. As of 2018, we now also invite Methods papers, to present or review new theoretical, practical or analytical methods used in evolutionary ecology.Students & Early Career Researchers: We particularly encourage, and offer incentives for, submission of Reviews, Ideas & Perspectives, and Methods papers by students and early-career researchers (defined as being within one year of award of a PhD degree) – see Students & Early Career Researchers

【译文】进化生态学是一本以概念为导向的生物研究期刊，位于生态学和进化的交汇处。我们发表的文章因此整合了这两个研究领域：寻求在进化背景下解释生物生态学的研究，或由生态过程解释的进化模式。该期刊发表关于生物进化生态学的原创研究和讨论。这可能包括涉及种群生态学进化方面、生物体相互作用和协同进化、行为、生命史、交流、形态、宿主-寄生虫相互作用和疾病生态学，以及遗传过程的生态方面的论文。目标是促进生态学和进化生物学的概念、理论和实证发展；范围扩展到任何生物或系统。除了原创研究文章外，我们还发表综述文章，概述进化生态学领域的最新发展；观点与视角文章，提出新的观点和新的假设；以及关于最近在进化生态学或其它地方发表的文章的评论。我们还欢迎对现有观点的新测试——测试已确立的假设，但具有更广泛的数据或更严格的方法论方法；以及更短的自然科学笔记，旨在展示在野外观察到的生物生物学新发现，可能为未来的研究提供灵感。截至2018年，我们现在还邀请方法论文，以展示或评论在进化生态学中使用的新理论、实践或分析方法。学生和早期职业研究人员：我们特别鼓励，并为学生和早期职业研究人员（定义为在获得博士学位后一年内）提交综述、观点与视角和方法论文提供激励——请参阅学生和早期职业研究人员
