functional-ecology

separate

Use when targeting Functional Ecology (Funct Ecol) or deciding whether a mechanistic study linking organism function to ecology fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

When to use

• targeting Functional Ecology
• deciding if mechanistic study fits venue
• linking organism function to ecology
• trait-based or ecophysiology study venue selection
• confirming link to ecological consequence
• Functional Ecology mechanistic framing
• data-archiving conventions
• desk-reject criteria

When not to use

• community-pattern studies lacking functional mechanism
• biogeographic studies lacking functional mechanism
• physiology disconnected from ecological consequence
