Evolutionary Ecology

Journal Title：Evolutionary Ecology

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

《进化生态学》是一本以概念为导向的生物学研究杂志，研究生态学和进化的交汇点。我们发表的论文因此整合了两个研究领域：旨在解释进化背景下的生物生态学的研究，或通过生态过程解释的进化模式。

该杂志发表有关生物进化生态学的原创研究和讨论。这些可能包括涉及种群生态学的进化方面、生物相互作用和共同进化、行为、生活史、交流、形态学、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，调查进化生态学领域的最新发展；提出新观点和新假设的思想与观点文章；以及对最近在《进化生态学》或其他地方发表的文章的评论。我们还欢迎对现有想法进行新的测试 - 测试已建立的假设，但使用更广泛的数据或更严格的方法； - 以及较短的自然历史笔记，旨在展示野生生物生物学的新观察结果，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，以介绍或回顾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：我们特别鼓励并提供奖励，学生和早期职业研究人员（定义为获得博士学位后一年内）提交评论、想法和观点以及方法论文 - 请参阅学生和早期职业研究人员

Evolutionary Ecology创刊于1987年，由Springer International Publishing出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖环境科学 - 进化生物学全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度 约3.0个月 ，影响因子指数1.8，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
