Aims and Scopes

The Journal of Economic Entomology focuses on advancing the understanding of economic entomology through rigorous research and practical applications. It emphasizes the interplay between insect behavior, ecology, and management strategies that can lead to improved agricultural productivity and pest control. The journal serves as a platform for disseminating impactful findings that contribute to sustainable pest management practices.
  1. Pest Management Strategies:
    Research focusing on integrated pest management (IPM) techniques that combine biological, chemical, and cultural practices to control insect populations effectively.
  2. Insect Resistance Studies:
    Investigations into the mechanisms of resistance in insect populations to various pesticides, including genetic, biochemical, and ecological factors.
  3. Impact of Climate Change:
    Studies assessing how climate change affects insect behavior, population dynamics, and the efficacy of pest management strategies.
  4. Biological Control Agents:
    Research on the use of natural enemies (predators, parasitoids, and pathogens) for the biological control of pest insects.
  5. Ecological Interactions:
    Exploration of the interactions between insects and their environment, including host plant relationships and the impact of beneficial organisms.
  6. Economic Analysis of Pest Management:
    Evaluations of the economic implications of various pest management strategies, including cost-benefit analyses and assessments of market impacts.
The Journal of Economic Entomology has recently witnessed a surge in interest in several emerging themes, reflecting the evolving challenges and innovations in the field of entomology. These trends highlight the journal's commitment to addressing contemporary issues in pest management and agricultural sustainability.
  1. Sustainable Pest Management Practices:
    There is an increasing focus on developing and evaluating sustainable pest management practices that minimize environmental impact and enhance ecosystem health.
  2. Use of Biotechnology in Pest Control:
    Research on biotechnological advancements, including genetic engineering and RNA interference, for pest control is gaining traction as a modern alternative to traditional methods.
  3. Impact of Invasive Species:
    Studies examining the economic impact and management strategies for invasive insect species are becoming more prominent, reflecting their growing threat to agriculture and ecosystems.
  4. Climate Resilience in Pest Management:
    Emerging research is focusing on adapting pest management practices to be more resilient in the face of climate change, including the development of climate-smart agricultural strategies.
  5. Role of Pollinators in Agriculture:
    There is a growing emphasis on understanding the role of pollinators in agricultural systems and their interactions with pest management practices, highlighting the importance of pollinator health.
  6. Digital Tools and Precision Agriculture:
    The integration of digital tools, such as remote sensing and data analytics, in pest management strategies is on the rise, emphasizing the importance of precision agriculture.

Declining or Waning

Over the years, certain themes within the Journal of Economic Entomology have seen a decline in emphasis, likely due to shifting research priorities or advancements in pest management technologies. The following areas are noted for their reduced prominence in recent publications.
  1. Traditional Chemical Control Methods:
    There is a noticeable decline in research focused solely on conventional chemical pesticide applications, as the field shifts towards more integrated and sustainable approaches.
  2. General Biodiversity Assessments:
    While still relevant, general studies on biodiversity without a clear link to pest management or economic impact have decreased, reflecting a trend toward more targeted research.
  3. Single-Species Studies:
    Research concentrating exclusively on single pest species is waning in favor of studies that consider multi-species interactions and ecosystem-level impacts.
  4. Historical Insecticide Efficacy Studies:
    As new pest management strategies and products emerge, studies aimed at assessing the efficacy of older insecticides have become less frequent.
  5. Laboratory-Based Behavioral Studies:
    Research focusing solely on laboratory behavioral studies without field application or context is declining in favor of studies that integrate laboratory findings with field conditions.
