Aims and Scopes

Environmental Entomology focuses on the interactions between insects and their environment, particularly in relation to ecological dynamics, pest management, and the impacts of climate change. The journal aims to advance knowledge through empirical research and theoretical frameworks that explore these complex relationships.
  1. Ecological Interactions:
    Research on the relationships between insects and their ecosystems, including interactions with plants, other insects, and environmental factors.
  2. Pest Management:
    Studies focusing on the management of agricultural pests and the effectiveness of biological control agents, including parasitoids and predators.
  3. Climate Change Effects:
    Investigations into how climate change influences insect behavior, distribution, and life cycles, as well as the subsequent effects on ecosystems.
  4. Invasive Species:
    Research on the ecology and management of invasive insect species, including their impacts on native ecosystems and agricultural practices.
  5. Physiological and Behavioral Studies:
    Exploration of the physiological responses of insects to environmental stressors, including temperature, humidity, and chemical exposures.
  6. Conservation and Biodiversity:
    Studies that assess the impact of agricultural practices and habitat management on insect biodiversity and conservation efforts.
Recent publications in Environmental Entomology reflect emerging themes that highlight the need for adaptive management strategies in the face of ecological changes and the importance of multi-faceted research approaches.
  1. Climate Resilience:
    Increasing focus on how insects adapt to changing climates, including studies on physiological adaptations and shifts in distribution patterns.
  2. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Strategies:
    Emerging research on innovative IPM practices that combine biological control, habitat management, and chemical controls to sustainably manage pest populations.
  3. Microbial Interactions:
    Growing interest in the role of microbial communities associated with insects, particularly regarding their influence on insect health and ecosystem functions.
  4. Pollinator Health and Conservation:
    A surge in studies dedicated to understanding the health of pollinators, their interactions with flowering plants, and conservation strategies to mitigate declines.
  5. Chemical Ecology:
    An increase in research examining the chemical interactions between plants and insects, focusing on semiochemicals and their applications in pest management.

Declining or Waning

While Environmental Entomology continues to cover a broad range of topics, some areas of research appear to be declining in prominence, potentially due to shifts in focus towards more pressing ecological and management issues.
  1. Traditional Taxonomy:
    There has been a noticeable reduction in papers focused solely on traditional taxonomic studies, as the field pivots towards integrative approaches that include molecular techniques and ecological assessments.
  2. Historical Ecology:
    Research concentrating on historical ecological studies of insects is waning, possibly overshadowed by immediate concerns such as climate change impacts and invasive species management.
  3. Single Species Focus:
    A decreasing trend in studies that focus solely on single insect species without considering ecosystem-level interactions, as the journal emphasizes broader ecological contexts.
  4. Laboratory-Based Studies:
    A decline in laboratory-based studies that do not translate well to field conditions, as there is a growing preference for research that includes field applications and real-world implications.
