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

《進化生態學》是一本以概念為導向的生物學研究雜志，研究生態學和進化的交匯點。我們發表的論文因此整合了兩個研究領域：旨在解釋進化背景下的生物生態學的研究，或通過生態過程解釋的進化模式。

該雜志發表有關生物進化生態學的原創研究和討論。這些可能包括涉及種群生態學的進化方面、生物相互作用和共同進化、行為、生活史、交流、形態學、宿主-寄生蟲相互作用和疾病生態學以及遺傳過程的生態方面的論文。目標是促進生態學和進化生物學的概念、理論和實證發展；范圍擴展到任何生物或系統。

除了原創研究文章外，我們還發表綜述文章，調查進化生態學領域的最新發展；提出新觀點和新假設的思想與觀點文章；以及對最近在《進化生態學》或其他地方發表的文章的評論。我們還歡迎對現有想法進行新的測試 - 測試已建立的假設，但使用更廣泛的數據或更嚴格的方法； - 以及較短的自然歷史筆記，旨在展示野生生物生物學的新觀察結果，可能為未來的研究提供靈感。截至 2018 年，我們現在還邀請方法論文，以介紹或回顧進化生態學中使用的新理論、實踐或分析方法。

學生和早期職業研究人員：我們特別鼓勵并提供獎勵，學生和早期職業研究人員（定義為獲得博士學位后一年內）提交評論、想法和觀點以及方法論文 - 請參閱學生和早期職業研究人員

Evolutionary Ecology創刊于1987年，由Springer International Publishing出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋環境科學 - 進化生物學全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 約3.0個月 ，影響因子指數1.8，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
