CHEMOECOLOGY

英文简介

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.

中文简介

化学生态学的目的是通过发表融合进化和/或生态学和化学的研究论文，促进和刺激化学生态学领域的基础科学，以期增进我们对自然产物的生物学意义的理解。它的范围包括进化生物学、生物相互作用的机制和化学以及潜在的自然产物的进化和合成。有关营养关系的进化和生态学、种内和种间通讯、竞争以及所有类型的有机相互作用中其他种类的化学通讯的手稿将被认为适合出版。如果营养相互作用的生态学研究是建立在自然产物(例如脂肪酸)通过食物链传播的信息的基础上，那么也将考虑这些研究。化学生态学进一步发表与非挥发性化合物(如黏附分泌物)介导的相互作用的进化和生态学有关的论文。机械方法可能包括识别、生物合成和代谢的物质，携带信息和阐明受体和转导系统使用生理、生化和分子技术。还将考虑描述参与化学通讯的器官的结构和功能形态学的论文。
