Aims and Scopes

The JOURNAL OF THE KANSAS ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY focuses on various aspects of entomology, providing a platform for research that contributes to the understanding of insect biology, ecology, and their interactions with the environment. The journal emphasizes empirical studies, species descriptions, and ecological assessments, making it a valuable resource for entomologists and researchers in related fields.
  1. Insect Taxonomy and Systematics:
    The journal consistently publishes studies that describe new species and provide taxonomic revisions, contributing to the understanding of insect diversity and classification.
  2. Ecological Interactions and Behavior:
    Research focusing on the interactions between insects and their environments, including pollination dynamics, predator-prey relationships, and the effects of habitat on insect behavior.
  3. Conservation and Biodiversity:
    Papers addressing the conservation status of insect species, their habitats, and the implications of biodiversity loss are frequently featured, emphasizing the need for sustainable practices.
  4. Pest Management and Agricultural Entomology:
    The journal includes research on pest management strategies, including the development of biopesticides and the ecological impacts of agricultural practices on insect populations.
  5. Physiology and Development:
    Studies investigating the physiological aspects of insects, such as growth models and responses to environmental factors, are also a significant part of the journal's contributions.
The journal has seen a rise in specific themes over recent years, reflecting emerging trends in entomological research. These trends highlight the growing importance of ecological and sustainable approaches to insect studies.
  1. Sustainable Pest Management and Biopesticides:
    There is an increasing emphasis on alternative pest management strategies, including the use of nanobiopesticides and other environmentally friendly solutions, reflecting a broader trend towards sustainability in agriculture.
  2. Pollinator Studies and Ecosystem Services:
    Research on pollinators, their efficiency, and their role in ecosystem services is gaining prominence, underscoring the importance of these species in agricultural productivity and biodiversity.
  3. Climate Change Impact on Insects:
    Emerging studies are beginning to address how climate change affects insect populations, behaviors, and distributions, indicating a growing concern about the implications of global environmental changes.
  4. Gynandromorphism and Morphological Anomalies:
    The investigation of gynandromorphism and other morphological anomalies is becoming more frequent, reflecting a rising interest in genetic and developmental biology within entomology.
  5. Interactions Between Insects and Plant Nutrition:
    Research exploring the effects of plant nutrition on insect behavior and community dynamics is increasingly featured, highlighting the interconnectedness of plant health and insect populations.

Declining or Waning

While the journal has a strong focus on various aspects of entomology, certain themes appear to be losing traction over recent years. This decline may reflect shifting research priorities or a saturation of studies in certain areas.
  1. Urban Entomology Studies:
    Research specifically addressing insect populations and behaviors in urban settings has seen a decrease, possibly due to a broader focus on rural and agricultural systems.
  2. Traditional Insecticide Efficacy Studies:
    Papers solely focused on the efficacy of conventional insecticides are becoming less common as the field shifts towards integrated pest management and sustainable alternatives.
  3. Morphological Studies without Ecological Context:
    Studies that focus exclusively on insect morphology without linking findings to ecological implications or behaviors are appearing less frequently, indicating a trend towards more integrative research.
