Journal Title：Oikos

Oikos publishes original and innovative research on all aspects of ecology, defined as organism-environment interactions at various spatiotemporal scales, so including macroecology and evolutionary ecology. Emphasis is on theoretical and empirical work aimed at generalization and synthesis across taxa, systems and ecological disciplines. Papers can contribute to new developments in ecology by reporting novel theory or critical empirical results, and "synthesis" can include developing new theory, tests of general hypotheses, or bringing together established or emerging areas of ecology. Confirming or extending the established literature, by for example showing results that are novel for a new taxon, or purely applied research, is given low priority.

Oikos 发表关于生态学各个方面的原创性和创新性研究，定义为各种时空尺度上的有机体-环境相互作用，包括宏观生态学和进化生态学。重点是旨在跨类群、系统和生态学科的概括和综合的理论和实证工作。论文可以通过报告新的理论或重要的实证结果来促进生态学的新发展，“综合”可以包括发展新理论、检验一般假设，或将已建立或新兴的生态学领域结合在一起。确认或扩展已建立的文献，例如展示对新分类单元或纯粹应用研究具有新颖性的结果，优先级较低。
