ETHOLOGY英文简介

International in scope, Ethology publishes original research on behaviour including physiological mechanisms, function, and evolution. The Journal addresses behaviour in all species, from slime moulds to humans. Experimental research is preferred, both from the field and the lab, that is grounded in a theoretical framework. The section 'Perspectives and Current Debates' provides overviews of an aspect of the field as well as theoretical investigations and essays on controversial topics. ‘Ethological Methods’ includes reports of novel methods, and comparative assessments of methods, spanning all levels of analyses that are relevant to understanding behavior (e.g. physiology, genetics, statistics, behavioural assays). ‘Behavioural Notes’ is intended to allow reporting of novel behaviour that fundamentally alters our understanding of the behaviour of a species and/or redirects or inspires novel research. Ethology supports the publication of studies that report negative results and welcomes replicates of earlier experiments that are relevant to our readers if the replication is part of larger study, or if the importance of the replication is well-justified. Publication of negative results is also encouraged, as long as the methods and analyses are sufficient to offer clear evidence that the negative results are valid.

ETHOLOGY中文简介

在国际范围内，动物行为学发表关于行为的原始研究，包括生理机制、功能和进化。该杂志研究了所有物种的行为，从黏液霉菌到人类。实验研究是首选，从现场和实验室，以理论框架为基础。“观点和当前辩论”一节提供了该领域的一个方面的概述，以及关于有争议话题的理论调查和论文。“行为学方法”包括对新方法的报告，以及对方法的比较评估，涵盖了与理解行为相关的所有层次的分析(例如生理学、遗传学、统计学、行为分析)。“行为记录”的目的是让报告新的行为，从根本上改变我们对物种行为的理解和/或重定向或激发新的研究。动物行为学支持发表报告负面结果的研究，并欢迎对早期实验的复制，如果复制是大型研究的一部分，或者复制的重要性是有充分理由的，那么这些复制对我们的读者来说是相关的。也鼓励公布负面结果，只要方法和分析足以提供明确的证据证明负面结果是有效的。
