PAN-PACIFIC ENTOMOLOGIST
Scope & Guideline
Celebrating the Vital Roles of Insects in Nature
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Taxonomy and Systematics:
The journal publishes papers that describe new species, revisions of existing taxa, and provide taxonomic keys, which are essential for the identification and classification of insects. - Biodiversity and Distribution:
Research on the geographic distribution of insect species, including new records and state or country records, highlights changes in biodiversity and informs conservation efforts. - Ecology and Behavior:
Studies examining the ecological roles of insects, including their interactions with other species and their environment, contribute to a deeper understanding of ecosystem dynamics. - Biological Control and Pest Management:
The journal includes research on the use of insects as biological control agents, discussing their effectiveness and ecological impacts on pest management strategies. - Conservation and Environmental Impact:
Papers that assess the impact of environmental changes on insect populations and advocate for conservation measures are integral to the journal's mission.
Trending and Emerging
- Molecular Taxonomy and Genetics:
There is a growing emphasis on molecular techniques for species identification and phylogenetic studies, indicating a trend towards integrating genetic analysis in traditional taxonomy. - Ecological Interactions and Behavior:
Research focusing on the ecological roles and behaviors of insects, including host-parasite interactions and community dynamics, is increasingly prevalent, reflecting a holistic approach to understanding biodiversity. - Conservation Biology and Habitat Studies:
Papers addressing conservation issues, habitat assessments, and the effects of climate change on insect populations are emerging as critical themes, highlighting the need for sustainable practices. - Regional Biodiversity Assessments:
There is a notable increase in studies that focus on specific regions, such as the Galapagos Islands and southern Mexico, which contribute to targeted conservation strategies and biodiversity documentation. - Public Health and Insect-Vectored Diseases:
Research related to disease vectors and their management is becoming more prominent, reflecting the intersection of entomology with public health concerns.
Declining or Waning
- Historical and Biographical Studies:
Research focusing on historical accounts and biographies of entomologists, though important, has become less frequent as the journal emphasizes empirical research and contemporary issues in entomology. - Generalized Surveys:
Broad surveys of insect populations without specific ecological or taxonomic focus are appearing less frequently, as more targeted studies with in-depth analysis are prioritized. - Invasive Species Documentation:
While still relevant, the frequency of papers solely dedicated to documenting invasive species has decreased, possibly due to a shift towards understanding ecological impacts and management strategies.
