GLOBAL ECOLOGY AND BIOGEOGRAPHY

全球生态和生物地理学(GEB)欢迎研究大尺度(空间、时间和/或分类学)、生态系统和组合组织的一般模式以及它们背后的过程的论文。GEB特别欢迎使用宏观生态学方法、比较分析、元分析、审查、空间分析和模型来得出一般性概念结论的研究。GEB的研究不一定是全球性的，但研究的结论和意义必须与全球生态学家和生物地理学家有关，而不是局限于局部地区或特定的类群。同样，GEB并不局限于空间研究;我们同样对自然随时间变化的一般模式感兴趣，在分类群中(例如，身体大小、分散能力)，在进化过程中等等。此外，全球环境局欢迎根据上述标准调查人类活动对生态系统的一般影响的论文。全球生态和生物地理学一般不发表那些关注独特事件或地方，或当地特定分类群的研究。该杂志对缺乏生态和/或生物地理重点的研究也不感兴趣。《全球生态与生物地理学》是《生物地理学、多样性与分布》杂志的姊妹刊物。这三种期刊在生物地理学的广阔领域中有各自不同但互补的重点领域。

Global Ecology and Biogeography (GEB) welcomes papers that investigate broad-scale (in space, time and/or taxonomy), general patterns in the organization of ecological systems and assemblages, and the processes that underlie them. In particular, GEB welcomes studies that use macroecological methods, comparative analyses, meta-analyses, reviews, spatial analyses and modelling to arrive at general, conceptual conclusions. Studies in GEB need not be global in spatial extent, but the conclusions and implications of the study must be relevant to ecologists and biogeographers globally, rather than being limited to local areas, or specific taxa. Similarly, GEB is not limited to spatial studies; we are equally interested in the general patterns of nature through time, among taxa (e.g., body sizes, dispersal abilities), through the course of evolution, etc. Further, GEB welcomes papers that investigate general impacts of human activities on ecological systems in accordance with the above criteria.Global Ecology and Biogeography generally does not publish studies that focus on unique events or places, or on specific taxa in local areas. The journal is also not interested in studies that lack ecological and/or biogeographical focus.Global Ecology and Biogeography is a sister publication to Journal of Biogeography, and Diversity and Distributions. The three journals have distinct but complementary focus areas within the broad field of biogeography.
