中文简介

地球上生命最显著的特征是其多样性，而生态学和进化领域对于理解生物多样性是如何产生、如何维持、其后果是什么以及我们应该如何保护生物多样性至关重要。进化是贯穿所有生命科学的统一概念，从生命的起源和多样化到理解人类行为，再到应对疾病带来的挑战。生态学将生物学从个体的相对简单性中提取出来，用来解释有机体与其环境之间相互作用的复杂性。它的影响超越了生物学，延伸到环境科学和社会面临的巨大挑战。《自然生态与进化》对生态与进化生物学的全貌感兴趣，包括分子、生物、人口、社区和生态系统层面的研究方法，以及社会科学的相关部分。《自然生态与进化》为所有对生命多样性的各个方面感兴趣的研究人员和决策者提供了一个场所，他们可以在这里一起学习该领域最成功和最重要的进展，并讨论当前的热点问题。作为一份仅供在线阅读的月刊，我们广泛的范围确保了所发表的研究成果能够被最广泛的科学家所接受。与所有自然品牌杂志一样，《自然生态与进化》拥有一支专业编辑团队、公平严谨的同行评审流程、高标准的编辑和制作、快速出版和编辑独立性。除了发表原创研究，《自然生态与进化》还将发表与生态与进化相关的各个学科的评论、评论、新闻与观点、特征和通信。

英文简介

The most striking feature of Life on Earth is its diversity, and the fields of ecology and evolution are central to understanding how biodiversity arose, how it is maintained, what are its consequences, and how we should conserve it. Evolution is the unifying concept than runs through all the life sciences, from the origin and diversification of life to understanding human behaviour to dealing with the challenges posed by disease. Ecology takes biology from the relative simplicity of individuals to explain the complexity of interactions between organisms and their environments. Its implications stretch beyond biology into environmental science and the grand challenges facing society.Nature Ecology & Evolution is interested in the full spectrum of ecological and evolutionary biology, encompassing approaches at the molecular, organismal, population, community and ecosystem levels, as well as relevant parts of the social sciences. Nature Ecology & Evolution provides a place where all researchers and policymakers interested in all aspects of life's diversity can come together to learn about the most accomplished and significant advances in the field and to discuss topical issues. An online-only monthly journal, our broad scope ensures that the research published reaches the widest possible audience of scientists.Like all Nature-branded journals, Nature Ecology & Evolution is characterized by a dedicated team of professional editors, a fair and rigorous peer-review process, high standards of copy-editing and production, swift publication and editorial independence.In addition to publishing original research, Nature Ecology & Evolution will publish Comment, Reviews, News and Views, Features and Correspondence from across the full range of disciplines concerned with ecology and evolution.
