Information about the journal:
Marine Ecology (formerly Pubblicazioni della Stazione Zoologica di Napoli) publishes original contributions on the structure and dynamics of marine benthic and pelagic ecosystems and on the critical links between ecology and evolution of marine organisms.
The journal prioritises contributions elucidating fundamental aspects of species' interaction and adaptation to the environment through integration of information from various organizational levels (molecules to ecosystems) and different disciplines
(molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, marine biology, natural history, geography, oceanography, palaeontology and modelling) as viewed with an ecological and an evolutionary perspective. It encourages theoretical and speculative studies addressing the same issues in a section called Views, Comments and Ideas.
The journal particularly invites original research articles on “in situ” or laboratorybased research aimed at testing challenging hypotheses explaining adaptation of marine organisms to environmental constraints including biotic interactions. Papers are encouraged that present cutting-edge techniques or novel applications of methods addressing questions related to the journal’s themes. Theme issues will appear annually.
