Theoretical Ecology publishes innovative research in theoretical ecology, broadly defined. Papers should use theoretical approaches to answer questions of ecological interest and appeal to and be readable by a broad audience of ecologists. Work that uses mathematical, statistical, computational, or conceptual approaches is all welcomed, provided that the goal is to increase ecological understanding. Papers that only use existing approaches to analyze data, or are only mathematical analyses that do not further ecological understanding, are not appropriate. Work that bridges disciplinary boundaries, such as the intersection between quantitative social sciences and ecology, or physical influences on ecological processes, will also be particularly welcome.

All areas of theoretical ecology, including ecophysiology, population ecology, behavioral ecology, evolutionary ecology, ecosystem ecology, community ecology, and ecosystem and landscape ecology are all appropriate. Theoretical papers that focus on applied ecological questions are also of particular interest.

《理论生态学》发表理论生态学（广义）领域的创新研究。论文应使用理论方法来回答生态学问题，并吸引广大生态学家并让其阅读。使用数学、统计、计算或概念方法的论文都受到欢迎，前提是其目标是提高对生态学的理解。仅使用现有方法分析数据或仅进行数学分析而未进一步加深对生态学理解的论文不合适。跨越学科界限的论文（例如定量社会科学与生态学的交叉或对生态过程的物理影响）也将受到特别欢迎。

理论生态学的所有领域，包括生态生理学、种群生态学、行为生态学、进化生态学、生态系统生态学、群落生态学以及生态系统和景观生态学都是合适的。专注于应用生态问题的理论论文也特别受关注。
