期刊介绍:
Oecologia publishes ecological research of international interest. We seek reviews advances in methodology and original contributions emphasizing the following areas: Ecophysiology Population ecology Plant animal interactions Ecosystems ecology Global change and conservation ecology In general studies that are purely theoretical and/or modeling microbial and/or natural history will not be considered. We also offer a rapid communications option for short manuscripts of unusually broad interest to the ecological community. The editors endorse the "Guiding principles in the care and use of animals" (approved by the Council of the American Physiological Society). All animal experiments reported in this journal must have been conducted in conformity with these principles. Editors are instructed to refuse papers in which evidence of the adherence of these principles is not apparent. Differences of opinion will be adjudicated by the Editorial Board. The acceptance of a paper implies that it has been scrutinized and recommended by at least two reviewers (of which at least one is from the Editorial Board).
