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

Evolutionary Ecology 是一本以概念为导向的生态学与进化交界的生物学研究期刊。因此，我们发表的论文整合了这两个研究领域：试图在进化背景下解释生物生态学的研究，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。这些可能包括解决种群生态学、生物体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学方面的进化方面的论文。目标是促进生态学和进化生物学的概念、理论和经验发展；范围扩展到任何有机体或系统。

除原创研究文章外，我们还发表评论文章，调查进化生态学领域的最新发展；提出新观点和新假设的想法和观点文章；和评论最近发表在进化生态学或其他地方的文章。我们也欢迎对现有想法的新测试——用更广泛的数据或更严格的方法测试已确立的假设； - 和更短的自然历史笔记，旨在展示对野外生物生物学的新观察，可能为未来的研究提供灵感。截至 2018 年，我们现在还邀请 Methods 论文，介绍或回顾进化生态学中使用的新的理论、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）提交评论、想法和观点以及方法论文，并提供激励措施– 见学生和早期职业研究人员
