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, manuscripts 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. We believe that the diverse nature of our journal is a strength, not a weakness, and we are open-minded about the variety of data, research approaches and types of studies that we publish. 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. Ecology has increasingly moved towards the realization that organismal traits and activities are vital for understanding community dynamics and ecosystem processes, particularly in response to the rapid global changes occurring in earth’s environment, and Functional Ecology aims to publish such integrative papers.

《功能生態(tài)學(xué)》發(fā)表具有高影響力的論文，這些論文有助于從有機(jī)體到生態(tài)系統(tǒng)規(guī)模對生態(tài)模式和過程進(jìn)行機(jī)械理解。由于這一挑戰(zhàn)具有多面性，因此論文可以基于多種方法。因此，當(dāng)目標(biāo)是了解生態(tài)系統(tǒng)和更大規(guī)模的生態(tài)現(xiàn)象時(shí)，稿件可能從有機(jī)體研究的生理、遺傳、生命史和行為視角到社區(qū)和生物地球化學(xué)研究不等。我們相信，我們期刊的多樣性是一種優(yōu)勢，而不是劣勢，我們對我們發(fā)表的各種數(shù)據(jù)、研究方法和研究類型持開放態(tài)度。某些關(guān)鍵領(lǐng)域?qū)⒗^續(xù)受到重視：將基因組學(xué)與生態(tài)學(xué)相結(jié)合的研究、研究生理學(xué)的關(guān)鍵方面（例如壓力）如何影響動(dòng)物和植物的生態(tài)學(xué)（反之亦然）的研究，以及進(jìn)化如何影響功能和生態(tài)特征之間的相互作用。生態(tài)學(xué)越來越認(rèn)識(shí)到生物體的特征和活動(dòng)對于理解群落動(dòng)態(tài)和生態(tài)系統(tǒng)過程至關(guān)重要，特別是對地球環(huán)境正在發(fā)生的快速全球變化的反應(yīng)，而《功能生態(tài)學(xué)》旨在發(fā)表這樣的綜合性論文。
