全球生態和生物地理學(GEB)歡迎研究大尺度(空間、時間和/或分類學)、生態系統和組合組織的一般模式以及它們背后的過程的論文。GEB特別歡迎使用宏觀生態學方法、比較分析、元分析、審查、空間分析和模型來得出一般性概念結論的研究。GEB的研究不一定是全球性的，但研究的結論和意義必須與全球生態學家和生物地理學家有關，而不是局限于局部地區或特定的類群。同樣，GEB并不局限于空間研究;我們同樣對自然隨時間變化的一般模式感興趣，在分類群中(例如，身體大小、分散能力)，在進化過程中等等。此外，全球環境局歡迎根據上述標準調查人類活動對生態系統的一般影響的論文。全球生態和生物地理學一般不發表那些關注獨特事件或地方，或當地特定分類群的研究。該雜志對缺乏生態和/或生物地理重點的研究也不感興趣。《全球生態與生物地理學》是《生物地理學、多樣性與分布》雜志的姊妹刊物。這三種期刊在生物地理學的廣闊領域中有各自不同但互補的重點領域。

Global Ecology and Biogeography (GEB) welcomes papers that investigate broad-scale (in space, time and/or taxonomy), general patterns in the organization of ecological systems and assemblages, and the processes that underlie them. In particular, GEB welcomes studies that use macroecological methods, comparative analyses, meta-analyses, reviews, spatial analyses and modelling to arrive at general, conceptual conclusions. Studies in GEB need not be global in spatial extent, but the conclusions and implications of the study must be relevant to ecologists and biogeographers globally, rather than being limited to local areas, or specific taxa. Similarly, GEB is not limited to spatial studies; we are equally interested in the general patterns of nature through time, among taxa (e.g., body sizes, dispersal abilities), through the course of evolution, etc. Further, GEB welcomes papers that investigate general impacts of human activities on ecological systems in accordance with the above criteria.Global Ecology and Biogeography generally does not publish studies that focus on unique events or places, or on specific taxa in local areas. The journal is also not interested in studies that lack ecological and/or biogeographical focus.Global Ecology and Biogeography is a sister publication to Journal of Biogeography, and Diversity and Distributions. The three journals have distinct but complementary focus areas within the broad field of biogeography.
