AQUATIC ECOLOGY

Aquatic Ecology publishes timely, peer-reviewed original papers relating to the ecology of fresh, brackish, estuarine and marine environments. Papers on fundamental and applied novel research in both the field and the laboratory, including descriptive or experimental studies, will be included in the journal. Preference will be given to studies that address timely and current topics and are integrative and critical in approach. We discourage papers that describe presence and abundance of aquatic biota in local habitats as well as papers that are pure systematic.The journal provides a forum for the aquatic ecologist - limnologist and oceanologist alike- to discuss ecological issues related to processes and structures at different integration levels from individuals to populations, to communities and entire ecosystems.

《水生生态学》及时发表经同行评议的有关淡水、咸水、河口和海洋环境生态学的原始论文。该期刊将刊载关于该领域和实验室的基础和应用新研究的论文，包括描述性或实验性研究。优先考虑处理及时和当前主题的研究，并采取综合和关键的方法。我们不鼓励那些描述本地生境中水生生物的存在和丰富程度的论文，也不鼓励那些纯粹系统的论文。该杂志为水生生态学家- -湖泊学家和海洋学家一样- -提供了一个论坛，讨论与从个人到人口、到社区和整个生态系统的不同一体化水平的过程和结构有关的生态问题。
