journal (Behavioral Ecology)

In *Behavioral Ecology*, a journal focused on understanding how animal behaviors are shaped by ecological and evolutionary processes, the term “journal” refers to a scientific publication that shares research findings, theories, and reviews related to how animals behave in their environments. It serves as a platform for scientists to publish studies on topics like mating strategies, foraging, social interactions, and survival tactics. This helps advance knowledge of how behavior contributes to animals' adaptation and fitness, providing insights into the complex relationship between behavior and ecological context.
