Journal of Chemical Ecology
Overview
The Journal of Chemical Ecology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that focuses on the study of chemical interactions between organisms. It publishes research articles, reviews, and commentaries on various aspects of chemical ecology, including chemical signaling, plant-insect interactions, predator-prey relationships, and chemical defenses. The journal serves as a platform for researchers to explore the role of chemicals in shaping ecological interactions and understanding the chemical basis of behavior and adaptation in diverse organisms.
