DEUTSCHE ENTOMOLOGISCHE ZEITSCHRIFT
Scope & Guideline
Championing Open Access to Entomological Research
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Taxonomy and Systematics:
The journal consistently publishes articles that provide detailed taxonomic revisions, descriptions of new species, and reviews of existing genera across various insect orders. - Morphological Studies:
There is a significant emphasis on morphological research, including comparative morphology and larval morphology, which aids in understanding the evolutionary relationships among insect groups. - Biogeography and Distribution:
Many papers explore the biogeography of insects, providing insights into their distribution patterns, evolutionary history, and ecological interactions in different environments. - Ecological Interactions:
Research into the ecological roles of insects, including feeding habits and interactions with other species, is a key focus, highlighting the importance of insects in their ecosystems. - Paleontology and Fossil Studies:
The journal also covers paleontological aspects of entomology, including the study of fossil insects, which contributes to understanding the historical diversity and evolution of insect taxa.
Trending and Emerging
- DNA Barcoding and Molecular Techniques:
Recent publications indicate an increasing use of DNA barcoding and molecular techniques for species identification and phylogenetic studies, reflecting a modern approach to taxonomy. - Integrated Taxonomy:
There is a growing trend towards integrated approaches to taxonomy that combine morphological, molecular, and ecological data, which enhances the understanding of species relationships and biodiversity. - Paleoentomology and Amber Studies:
Research involving amber inclusions and fossil studies has seen a resurgence, highlighting interest in the evolutionary history and ancient diversity of insects. - Conservation and Biodiversity Studies:
Emerging themes include studies focused on conservation, biodiversity assessments, and the impacts of climate change on insect populations, addressing global ecological concerns. - Insect-Plant Interactions:
There is an increasing focus on the interactions between insects and plants, particularly in the context of pollination and herbivory, which is vital for understanding ecological dynamics.
Declining or Waning
- Generalized Insect Ecology Studies:
There has been a noticeable decrease in broader ecological studies that do not focus on specific taxa or detailed interactions, indicating a shift towards more specialized research. - Morphology of Non-Insect Arthropods:
Papers focusing on the morphology of non-insect arthropods are less common, suggesting a narrowing of the journal's scope to primarily insect-related studies. - Historical Reviews of Insect Orders:
Historical and comprehensive reviews of entire insect orders or families are less frequently published, possibly due to a shift towards more specific and detailed taxonomic studies.
