Acta Oecologica is venue for the publication of original research articles and review in ecology. We encourage studies in behavioural ecology, community ecology, conservation biology, evolutionary ecology, physiological ecology and population ecology. There is no bias with respect to taxon, biome or geographic area. Both theoretical and empirical papers are welcome, but combinations are particulary sought. Priority is given to papers based on explicity stated hypotheses.

Papers explaining variation are preferred over those concentrating on average values. The forum section is reserved for short papers with critical discussion of current issues in ecology, as well as comments and viewpoints on previously published papers. Acta Oecologica does not publish book reviews, but comments on new books are welcome in the forum section.

Addresses the role of soil organisms and their interactions in relation to: agricultural productivity, nutrient cycling and other soil processes, the maintenance of soil structure and fertility, the impact of human activities and xenobiotics on soil ecosystems and bio(techno)logical control of soil-inhabiting pests, diseases and weeds.
