OIKOS

Oikos发表关于生态学所有方面的原创和创新研究，定义为不同时空尺度上的有机体-环境相互作用，包括宏观生态学和进化生态学。重点是理论和实证工作，旨在推广和综合跨类群，系统和生态学科。论文可以通过报道新的理论或关键的实证结果来促进生态学的新发展，而“综合”可以包括发展新理论、检验一般假设，或将生态学的现有或新兴领域结合起来。确认或扩展已建立的文献，例如显示一个新的分类单元的新结果，或纯粹的应用研究，被给予较低的优先级。

Oikos publishes original and innovative research on all aspects of ecology, defined as organism-environment interactions at various spatiotemporal scales, so including macroecology and evolutionary ecology. Emphasis is on theoretical and empirical work aimed at generalization and synthesis across taxa, systems and ecological disciplines. Papers can contribute to new developments in ecology by reporting novel theory or critical empirical results, and "synthesis" can include developing new theory, tests of general hypotheses, or bringing together established or emerging areas of ecology. Confirming or extending the established literature, by for example showing results that are novel for a new taxon, or purely applied research, is given low priority.
