《生態(tài)學(xué)與進(jìn)化趨勢》(TREE)包含了生態(tài)學(xué)和進(jìn)化科學(xué)所有領(lǐng)域的精練、簡明和可讀的評論、觀點和信件。它為研究人員、講師、教師、實地工作者和學(xué)生提供了寶貴的信息來源。生態(tài)學(xué)和進(jìn)化的趨勢使這些科學(xué)家了解生態(tài)學(xué)和進(jìn)化生物學(xué)各個領(lǐng)域的新發(fā)展和新思想——從純到應(yīng)用，從分子到全球。現(xiàn)在，生命科學(xué)家比以往任何時候都更有必要意識到來自廣泛學(xué)科的研究，特別是在全球環(huán)境變化和破壞的勢頭日益增強的情況下。與其他任何期刊相比，《生態(tài)與進(jìn)化趨勢》是涵蓋所有有關(guān)生物體及其環(huán)境的重要問題的主要論壇。《生態(tài)與進(jìn)化趨勢》的文章一般都是由編輯委托撰寫的，但文章的創(chuàng)意是受歡迎的。潛在的作者應(yīng)該發(fā)送一個摘要(120字)和一封求職信(最多兩頁)，概述文章中將要討論的內(nèi)容，并通過電子郵件向編輯(tree@cell.com)發(fā)送至多20封關(guān)鍵參考文獻(xiàn)。如果提案被接受，編輯將提供稿件準(zhǔn)備指南。強烈反對在沒有事先與編輯協(xié)商的情況下提交完整的稿件。作者應(yīng)該注意到TREE中的所有主要文章都是經(jīng)過同行評審的，不能保證發(fā)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.
