英文简介：Functional Ecology publishes high-impact papers that enable a mechanistic understanding of ecological pattern and process from the organismic to the ecosystem scale. Because of the multifaceted nature of this challenge, papers can be based on a wide range of approaches. Thus, manuscripts may vary from physiological, genetics, life-history, and behavioural perspectives for organismal studies to community and biogeochemical studies when the goal is to understand ecosystem and larger scale ecological phenomena. We believe that the diverse nature of our journal is a strength, not a weakness, and we are open-minded about the variety of data, research approaches and types of studies that we publish. Certain key areas will continue to be emphasized: studies that integrate genomics with ecology, studies that examine how key aspects of physiology (e.g., stress) impact the ecology of animals and plants, or vice versa, and how evolution shapes interactions among function and ecological traits. Ecology has increasingly moved towards the realization that organismal traits and activities are vital for understanding community dynamics and ecosystem processes, particularly in response to the rapid global changes occurring in earth’s environment, and Functional Ecology aims to publish such integrative papers.中文简介：（来自Google、百度翻译）功能生态学发表了具有影响力的论文，使人们能够对从生物到生态系统规模的生态模式和过程进行机械理解。由于这一挑战的多面性，论文可以基于广泛的方法。因此，当目标是了解生态系统和更大规模的生态现象时，手稿可能会从生理，遗传学，生活史和行为角度的生物研究到社区和生物地球化学研究。我们相信，我们期刊的多样性是一种优势，而不是弱点，我们对我们发表的各种数据、研究方法和研究类型持开放态度。将继续强调某些关键领域: 将基因组学与生态学相结合的研究，研究生理学的关键方面 (例如压力) 如何影响动植物的生态，反之亦然，以及进化如何塑造功能之间的相互作用和生态特征。生态学越来越认识到，生物特征和活动对于理解社区动态和生态系统过程至关重要，特别是在响应地球环境中发生的快速全球变化时，功能生态学旨在发表此类综合论文。
