THE JOURNAL OF ECOLOGY 
EDITED FOR THE BRITISH ECOLOGICAL SOCIETY

followed by the American Ecology. 
The Journal of Ecology contains original contributions dealing with ecology, both 
of animals and plants, and with vegetation: also reviews and notices of publications 
on the same subjects; and reports of the meetings and work of the British Ecological 
Society.
