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》发表广义的理论生态学的创新研究。论文应该使用理论方法来回答生态学感兴趣的问题，吸引广大生态学家并为他们所读。如果目标是增进对生态学的理解，那么使用数学、统计、计算或概念方法的工作都是受欢迎的。只使用现有方法分析数据的论文，或者仅仅是数学分析，不能进一步加深对生态学的理解，都是不合适的。跨学科的工作，如定量社会科学和生态学的交叉，或对生态过程的物理影响，也将是特别受欢迎的。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，生态系统和景观生态学都是合适的。侧重于应用生态学问题的理论论文也特别令人感兴趣。
