TRENDS IN ECOLOGY & EVOLUTION

《生态学与进化趋势》(TREE)包含了生态学和进化科学所有领域的精练、简明和可读的评论、观点和信件。它为研究人员、讲师、教师、实地工作者和学生提供了宝贵的信息来源。生态学和进化的趋势使这些科学家了解生态学和进化生物学各个领域的新发展和新思想——从纯到应用，从分子到全球。现在，生命科学家比以往任何时候都更有必要意识到来自广泛学科的研究，特别是在全球环境变化和破坏的势头日益增强的情况下。与其他任何期刊相比，《生态与进化趋势》是涵盖所有有关生物体及其环境的重要问题的主要论坛。《生态与进化趋势》的文章一般都是由编辑委托撰写的，但文章的创意是受欢迎的。潜在的作者应该发送一个摘要(120字)和一封求职信(最多两页)，概述文章中将要讨论的内容，并通过电子邮件向编辑(tree@cell.com)发送至多20封关键参考文献。如果提案被接受，编辑将提供稿件准备指南。强烈反对在没有事先与编辑协商的情况下提交完整的稿件。作者应该注意到TREE中的所有主要文章都是经过同行评审的，不能保证发表。

Trends in Ecology & Evolution (TREE) contains polished, concise and readable reviews, opinions and letters in all areas of ecology and evolutionary science. It serves as an invaluable source of information for researchers, lecturers, teachers, field workers and students. Trends in Ecology & Evolution keeps these scientists informed of new developments and ideas across the full range of ecology and evolutionary biology - from the pure to the applied, and from molecular to global. Now, more than ever before, is it necessary for life scientists to be aware of research from a wide range of disciplines, especially in the face of the gathering momentum of global environmental change and destruction. More than any other journal, Trends in Ecology & Evolution is the major forum for coverage of all the important issues concerning organisms and their environments.Articles for Trends in Ecology & Evolution are generally commissioned by the Editor, but ideas for articles are welcome. Prospective authors should send an abstract (120 words) and a cover letter (two pages maximum) outlining what will be discussed in the article, plus up to 20 key references by email to the Editor (tree@cell.com). The editor will supply guidelines on manuscript preparation if the proposal is accepted. The submission of completed manuscripts without prior consultation with the Editor is strongly discouraged. Authors should note that all major articles in TREE are peer-reviewed and publication cannot be guaranteed.
