CHEMOECOLOGY (CHEMO)

A forthcoming print and electronic journal dedicated to Evolutionary,
mechanistic and environmental approaches to chemically-mediated
interactions.  Published by Birkhäuser Verlag AG.  First issue to be
available in March 1998.

CHEMO promotes and stimulates the field of chemical ecology by publishing
research papers that integrate ecology and chemistry in an attempt to
increase our understanding of the biological significance of natural
products.

It is the aim of CHEMOECOLOGY to promote and stimulate the field of
chemical ecology by publishing research papers that integrate ecology and
chemistry in an attempt to increase our understanding of the biological
significance of natural products. Its scope is the evolutionary biology of
chemically-mediated biotic interactions, including mechanistic approaches
as well as environmental aspects. Manuscripts on trophic relationships,
intra- and interspecific communication, competition, and other kinds of
chemical communication in all types of organismic interactions will be
considered suitable for publication. Mechanistic approaches should deal
with the identification, biosynthesis and metabolism of substances which
carry information and with the elucidation of receptor- and transduction
systems, biochemical, molecular and physiological techniques. Results of
investigations on the response and adaptation of organisms to
anthropogenic compounds or to their degradation products will be
considered for publication as long as ecological phenomena are involved.
Except in the case of manuscripts dealing with subjects of wide interest
strictly methodological or purely chemical and descriptive contributions
without conceptual interpretations will not be considered. Before
submitting a manuscript, authors should feel free to contact the
Editors-in-Chief or the Associate Editors regarding the appropriateness of
the work for CHEMOECOLOGY.
