Biochemical Systematics And Ecology

Biochemical Systematics and Ecology is devoted to the publication of original papers and reviews, both submitted and invited, in two subject areas: I) the application of biochemistry to problems relating to systematic biology of organisms (biochemical systematics); II) the role of biochemistry in interactions between organisms or between an organism and its environment (biochemical ecology).

In the Biochemical Systematics subject area, comparative studies of the distribution of (secondary) metabolites within a wider taxon (e.g. genus or family) are welcome. Comparative studies, encompassing multiple accessions of each of the taxa within their distribution are particularly encouraged. Welcome are also studies combining classical chemosystematic studies (such as comparative HPLC-MS or GC-MS investigations) with (macro-) molecular phylogenetic studies. Studies that involve the comparative use of compounds to help differentiate among species such as adulterants or substitutes that illustrate the applied use of chemosystematics are welcome. In contrast, studies solely employing macromolecular phylogenetic techniques (gene sequences, RAPD studies etc.) will be considered out of scope. Discouraged are manuscripts that report known or new compounds from a single source taxon without addressing a systematic hypothesis. Also considered out of scope are studies using outdated and hard to reproduce macromolecular techniques such as RAPDs in combination with standard chemosystematic techniques such as GC-FID and GC-MS.

《生化系统学和生态学》致力于发表原创论文和评论，包括提交的和受邀的，涉及两个主题领域：I）生物化学在生物系统生物学相关问题中的应用（生化系统学）；II）生物化学在生物之间或生物与其环境之间的相互作用中的作用（生化生态学）。

在生化系统学主题领域，欢迎对更广泛分类单元（例如属或科）内（次级）代谢物的分布进行比较研究。特别鼓励比较研究，涵盖其分布范围内每个分类单元的多个种属。还欢迎将经典化学系统学研究（如比较 HPLC-MS 或 GC-MS 研究）与（宏观）分子系统发育研究相结合的研究。欢迎涉及比较使用化合物来帮助区分物种（例如掺假物或替代品）的研究，这些研究说明了化学系统学的应用。相反，仅采用大分子系统发育技术（基因序列、RAPD 研究等）的研究将被视为超出范围。不鼓励报告来自单一来源分类群的已知或新化合物而不解决系统假设的稿件。使用过时且难以复制的大分子技术（如 RAPD）与标准化学系统技术（如 GC-FID 和 GC-MS）相结合的研究也被认为超出范围。
