Molecular Ecology Resources

Molecular Ecology Resources encourages development of broad resources for the community including computer programs, statistical and molecular advances, and extensive molecular tools. The journal is a vehicle for dissemination of these resources, targeting a wide audience of researchers in the fields of evolution, ecology, and conservation. Articles in Molecular Ecology Resources are intended to facilitate studies addressing consequential questions in these fields.In addition to novel resource articles, Molecular Ecology Resources publishes relevant Reviews, Opinions, and Comments. The journal also publishes occasional Special Issues that emphasize development of resources in a particular area.Papers that report on empirical research in ecology, evolution, behavior, and conservation, rather than new resources and tools, should be submitted to our companion journal, Molecular Ecology.Papers that are primarily descriptive and relevant only to the taxon being studied without addressing a question more broadly applicable in ecology are not appropriate for Molecular Ecology and should instead be submitted to a more specialized journal or to Ecology & Evolution.

分子生态学资源鼓励为社区开发广泛的资源，包括计算机程序、统计和分子进展以及广泛的分子工具。该杂志是传播这些资源的媒介，目标是进化、生态和保护领域的广泛研究人员。《分子生态学资源》上的文章旨在促进研究解决这些领域中相应的问题。除了新的资源文章，分子生态资源还发表相关评论、意见和评论。该杂志还偶尔出版强调某一特定领域资源开发的特刊。关于生态学、进化、行为和保护的实证研究报告，而不是新的资源和工具，应该提交给我们的伙伴期刊《分子生态学》。那些主要是描述性的和只与正在研究的分类单元相关的论文，而没有解决一个在生态学中更广泛应用的问题，是不适合分子生态学的，而应该提交给一个更专业的期刊或生态学与进化论。
