A British Ecological Society journal, 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, articles 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. Functional Ecology is open-minded about the variety of data, research approaches and types of studies it publishes. 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.

About the Society:
As the oldest ecological learned society in the world, the British Ecological Society’s vision is to advance ecology and make it count. Its activities include the publication of five internationally renowned journals, the organisation of a variety of meetings, funding of numerous grant schemes, and far-reaching education and policy work.
