Journal Title：Chemoecology

It is the aim of Chemoecology to promote and stimulate basic science in the field of chemical ecology by publishing research papers that integrate evolution and/or ecology and chemistry in an attempt to increase our understanding of the biological significance of natural products. Its scopes cover the evolutionary biology, mechanisms and chemistry of biotic interactions and the evolution and synthesis of the underlying natural products. Manuscripts on the evolution and ecology of trophic relationships, intra- and interspecific communication, competition, and other kinds of chemical communication in all types of organismic interactions will be considered suitable for publication. Ecological studies of trophic interactions will be considered also if they are based on the information of the transmission of natural products (e.g. fatty acids) through the food-chain. Chemoecology further publishes papers that relate to the evolution and ecology of interactions mediated by non-volatile compounds (e.g. adhesive secretions). Mechanistic approaches may include the identification, biosynthesis and metabolism of substances that carry information and the elucidation of receptor- and transduction systems using physiological, biochemical and molecular techniques. Papers describing the structure and functional morphology of organs involved in chemical communication will also be considered.

化學(xué)生態(tài)學(xué)的目的是通過發(fā)表將進(jìn)化和/或生態(tài)學(xué)與化學(xué)相結(jié)合的研究論文來促進(jìn)和刺激化學(xué)生態(tài)學(xué)領(lǐng)域的基礎(chǔ)科學(xué)，以期提高我們對(duì)天然產(chǎn)物生物學(xué)意義的理解。其范圍涵蓋生物相互作用的進(jìn)化生物學(xué)、機(jī)制和化學(xué)以及潛在天然產(chǎn)物的進(jìn)化和合成。有關(guān)營(yíng)養(yǎng)關(guān)系的進(jìn)化和生態(tài)學(xué)、種內(nèi)和種間通訊、競(jìng)爭(zhēng)以及所有類型的生物相互作用中的其他類型的化學(xué)通訊的手稿將被視為適合出版。如果營(yíng)養(yǎng)相互作用的生態(tài)學(xué)研究基于天然產(chǎn)物（例如脂肪酸）通過食物鏈傳播的信息，也將予以考慮。化學(xué)生態(tài)學(xué)還發(fā)表與非揮發(fā)性化合物（例如粘性分泌物）介導(dǎo)的相互作用的進(jìn)化和生態(tài)學(xué)相關(guān)的論文。機(jī)械方法可能包括攜帶信息的物質(zhì)的識(shí)別、生物合成和代謝以及使用生理、生物化學(xué)和分子技術(shù)闡明受體和轉(zhuǎn)導(dǎo)系統(tǒng)。描述參與化學(xué)通訊的器官的結(jié)構(gòu)和功能形態(tài)的論文也將被考慮。

Chemoecology創(chuàng)刊于1990年，由Springer International Publishing出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋環(huán)境科學(xué) - 生化與分子生物學(xué)全領(lǐng)域，此刊是中等級(jí)別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對(duì)來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業(yè)認(rèn)可度不錯(cuò)，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 36周，或約稿 ，影響因子指數(shù)1.6，該期刊近期沒有被列入國(guó)際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
