Emerging research is focusing on the role of insects in sustainable agriculture, including their contributions to pollination and pest control within agroecosystems.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Taxonomic Studies:
There has been a noticeable decrease in traditional taxonomic studies focused on insect identification based solely on morphological characteristics, as molecular techniques and genomic approaches gain prominence. - Insect Ecology in Urban Settings:
Research specifically targeting insect ecology in urban environments has diminished, possibly due to increased focus on agricultural and conservation-related studies. - Forensic Entomology:
Although still relevant, the volume of papers dedicated to forensic entomology appears to have waned, suggesting a shift towards more applied ecological and agricultural research. - Insect Physiology Research:
While insect physiology remains a significant area, specific subfields, such as thermal tolerance studies, may be experiencing a decline as attention shifts to broader ecological and evolutionary implications.
