Chemoecology

Journal Title：Chemoecology

It is the aim of Chemoecology to promote and stimulate basic science in the field of chemical ecology by publishing research papers that integrate evolution and/or ecology and chemistry in an attempt to increase our understanding of the biological significance of natural products. Its scopes cover the evolutionary biology, mechanisms and chemistry of biotic interactions and the evolution and synthesis of the underlying natural products. Manuscripts on the evolution and ecology of trophic relationships, intra- and interspecific communication, competition, and other kinds of chemical communication in all types of organismic interactions will be considered suitable for publication. Ecological studies of trophic interactions will be considered also if they are based on the information of the transmission of natural products (e.g. fatty acids) through the food-chain. Chemoecology further publishes papers that relate to the evolution and ecology of interactions mediated by non-volatile compounds (e.g. adhesive secretions). Mechanistic approaches may include the identification, biosynthesis and metabolism of substances that carry information and the elucidation of receptor- and transduction systems using physiological, biochemical and molecular techniques. Papers describing the structure and functional morphology of organs involved in chemical communication will also be considered.

化學生態學的目的是通過發表將進化和/或生態學與化學相結合的研究論文來促進和刺激化學生態學領域的基礎科學，以期提高我們對天然產物生物學意義的理解。其范圍涵蓋生物相互作用的進化生物學、機制和化學以及潛在天然產物的進化和合成。有關營養關系的進化和生態學、種內和種間通訊、競爭以及所有類型的生物相互作用中的其他類型的化學通訊的手稿將被視為適合出版。如果營養相互作用的生態學研究基于天然產物（例如脂肪酸）通過食物鏈傳播的信息，也將予以考慮?；瘜W生態學還發表與非揮發性化合物（例如粘性分泌物）介導的相互作用的進化和生態學相關的論文。機械方法可能包括攜帶信息的物質的識別、生物合成和代謝以及使用生理、生物化學和分子技術闡明受體和轉導系統。描述參與化學通訊的器官的結構和功能形態的論文也將被考慮。

Chemoecology創刊于1990年，由Springer International Publishing出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋環境科學 - 生化與分子生物學全領域，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 36周，或約稿 ，影響因子指數1.6，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。
