Aims and Scopes

The journal 'Entomological Research' aims to advance the understanding of entomology through rigorous research that addresses the diverse interactions between insects and their environments. It encompasses a wide range of topics, methodologies, and applications that contribute to the field of entomology.
  1. Insect Physiology and Development:
    Research on the physiological and developmental processes in insects, including studies on gene expression, hormonal regulation, and metabolic pathways that influence growth, reproduction, and survival.
  2. Ecological Interactions:
    Exploration of the interactions between insects and their ecosystems, including predator-prey dynamics, mutualistic relationships, and the impact of environmental factors such as climate change on insect populations.
  3. Pest Management and Control Strategies:
    Studies focused on integrated pest management (IPM), biological control agents, and the effects of various agricultural practices on pest populations, contributing to sustainable farming practices.
  4. Insect Behavior and Ecology:
    Investigations into the behavioral ecology of insects, including mating strategies, foraging behavior, and responses to environmental cues, which are essential for understanding species interactions and ecosystem balance.
  5. Invasive Species and Biodiversity:
    Research addressing the impacts of invasive insect species on native ecosystems, biodiversity assessments, and the development of management strategies to mitigate their effects.
  6. Molecular and Genomic Approaches:
    Utilization of molecular techniques, including transcriptomics and genomics, to study gene function, resistance mechanisms, and evolutionary adaptations in insect populations.
Recent publications in 'Entomological Research' reveal emerging themes that reflect the evolving interests and challenges within the field of entomology. These trends highlight the journal's responsiveness to contemporary issues in insect research.
  1. Climate Change Impact on Insects:
    Increasing studies focus on how climate change affects insect physiology, behavior, and distribution, underscoring the urgency of understanding these impacts for biodiversity conservation and agricultural practices.
  2. Genomic and Molecular Techniques:
    There is a growing trend towards utilizing advanced genomic and molecular techniques to investigate insect biology, resistance mechanisms, and evolutionary adaptations, providing deeper insights into insect physiology and ecology.
  3. Insect-Microbe Interactions:
    Research exploring the complex relationships between insects and their microbial associates, including gut microbiota and symbiotic relationships, is gaining prominence, reflecting the importance of these interactions in health and disease.
  4. Biological Control and Eco-friendly Approaches:
    Emerging interest in biological control methods and eco-friendly pest management strategies is evident, as researchers explore alternative approaches to chemical insecticides, aligning with sustainable agricultural practices.
  5. Behavioral Ecology and Insect Communication:
    Increased focus on the behavioral ecology of insects, including communication strategies and responses to environmental stimuli, highlights the significance of behavior in ecological interactions and pest management.

Declining or Waning

While 'Entomological Research' continues to thrive in various areas, certain themes are showing a decline in frequency or prominence within recent publications. These waning scopes indicate shifts in research focus or changing priorities within the field.
  1. Traditional Chemical Control Methods:
    There is a noticeable decrease in research focusing solely on traditional chemical insecticides as pest control methods, likely due to a growing emphasis on integrated pest management and sustainable practices.
  2. General Insect Taxonomy Studies:
    Papers focusing on broad taxonomic classifications without specific ecological or applied contexts are less frequent, as researchers increasingly prioritize studies with practical implications for ecosystem management or pest control.
  3. Laboratory-Only Studies:
    Research that presents findings solely from controlled laboratory settings without field validation is becoming less common, reflecting a shift towards studies that incorporate real-world applications and ecological relevance.
  4. Static Biodiversity Assessments:
    There is a decline in static assessments of insect diversity without subsequent analyses of ecological interactions or functional roles, as the field moves towards understanding the implications of biodiversity for ecosystem services.
