生物科學理論關注理論生物學中的新概念。它還包括分析和建模方法以及哲學和歷史問題。的核心主題是:人工生命生物信息學的重點是新的方法，現象和解釋Bioinspired建模復雜性體現了認知進化生物學今晚的游戲理論建模遺傳學生物學的歷史語言進化數學生物學生物學哲學種群生物學理論生態(tài)學分子生物學理論理論神經科學與認知雖然并不是所有的雜志感興趣的模型都必須用數學術語來表達，但是這些模型應該用嚴格的方法來分析。原稿應呈現具有較強概念背景的原創(chuàng)作品。

Theory in Biosciences focuses on new concepts in theoretical biology. It also includes analytical and modelling approaches as well as philosophical and historical issues. Central topics are:Artificial LifeBioinformatics with a focus on novel methods, phenomena, and interpretationsBioinspired ModelingComplexityEmbodied CognitionEvolutionary BiologyEvo-DevoGame Theoretic ModelingGeneticsHistory of BiologyLanguage EvolutionMathematical BiologyPhilosophy of BiologyPopulation BiologyTheoretical EcologyTheoretical Molecular BiologyTheoretical Neuroscience & CognitionWhile not all models of interest to the journal are necessarily phrased in mathematical terms, those that are should be analyzed by rigorous methods.Manuscripts should present original work with a strong conceptual background.
