About the journal
Oikos A Journal of Ecology
Oikos is a journal issued by the Nordic Society OIKOS, and individual subscribers become members of the society. Ecologists from all countries are invited to publish original results on its pages. Theoretical as well as empirical work is welcome; however theoretical papers should more than elaborate on previously published analyses, and empirical papers should test explicit hypotheses and/or theoretical predictions. Oikos is no archive. There is no bias as regards taxon, biome or geographical area.
|
Forum is intended for short notes on new ideas or new ways of interpreting existing information. It provides a chance for suggesting hypotheses and for challenging current thinking on ecological issues.
Opinion is intended to facilitate communication between reader and author and reader and reader. Short comments, viewpoints or suggestions arising from published papers are welcome . Discussion and debate about important issues in ecology may also be included. |
