中文简介

《动物生态学杂志》出版了最好的动物生态学研究，开发、测试和推进广泛的生态学原理。该杂志的一个主要目标是发表文章，详细介绍新颖和重要的工作，将挑战动物生态学家的思维方式。我们鼓励那些通过发展生态学理论或方法论而在该领域取得重大进展的论文，这些理论或方法论所产生的生态学见解超出了所使用的研究体系。当集中于单一物种的研究对推进一般理论或理解做出重大贡献时，将考虑发表这些研究。发表在《动物生态学杂志》上的一篇理论论文，应该建立或实质上扩展我们对一个在动物生态学领域具有普遍重要性的问题的理论理解。最好的理论论文将与如何在新的理论发展中加强实证分析密切相关。我们为广大的国际读者提供关于动物生态学各方面的重要问题和/或当前感兴趣的论文。

英文简介

Journal of Animal Ecology publishes the best animal ecology research that develops, tests and advances broad ecological principles.A primary aim of the journal is to publish articles detailing novel and important work that will challenge the way animal ecologists think. We encourage papers that make significant advances to the field through the development of ecological theory or methodology which generate ecological insights that extend beyond the study system utilised. Studies focussed on a single species are considered for publication when they make a significant contribution to advancing general theory or understanding. A theoretical paper in Journal of Animal Ecology should establish, or substantially extend, our theoretical understanding of an issue of general importance for the field of animal ecology. The best theory papers will have a close relationship to considerations of how empirical analysis can be tensioned against the new theoretical developments. We bring papers that address questions of general importance and/or current interest in all aspects of animal ecology to a broad international audience.
