The journal's scope encompasses a wide range of topics, reflecting the rich biodiversity of insects and their interactions with the environment and humans.
  1. Taxonomy and Systematics:
    The journal emphasizes the description and classification of new insect species, providing critical insights into the biodiversity of Brazilian entomofauna.
  2. Ecology and Behavior:
    Research on ecological interactions, including predator-prey relationships, mating behaviors, and community dynamics, is a significant focus area, highlighting the ecological roles of insects.
  3. Conservation and Biodiversity:
    Studies addressing the conservation of insect species and their habitats, including the impacts of climate change and habitat destruction, are central to the journal's mission.
  4. Applied Entomology:
    The journal includes research on the practical applications of entomology, such as pest management, forensic entomology, and the use of insects in agricultural contexts.
  5. Physiology and Morphology:
    Investigations into the physiological mechanisms and morphological adaptations of insects contribute to a deeper understanding of their biology and evolution.
The 'Revista Brasileira de Entomologia' is currently witnessing a rise in several innovative and relevant themes, reflecting contemporary challenges and advancements in entomological research.
  1. Molecular and Genetic Studies:
    There is an increasing trend in studies utilizing molecular techniques to assess genetic diversity, population structure, and phylogenetics, particularly in species of medical and agricultural importance.
  2. Impact of Climate Change:
    Research examining the effects of climate change on insect distributions, behaviors, and interactions is gaining traction, highlighting the urgency of understanding ecological responses to global changes.
  3. Urban Entomology:
    Studies on insects in urban environments are becoming more prominent, addressing issues related to public health, pest management, and biodiversity in urban settings.
  4. Insect Conservation Strategies:
    Emerging research on conservation strategies for threatened insect species and their habitats is increasingly important, reflecting a global recognition of the biodiversity crisis.
  5. Behavioral Ecology:
    An upsurge in studies investigating the behavioral ecology of insects, including mating systems and trophic interactions, is evident, showcasing the complexity of insect interactions within ecosystems.

Declining or Waning

As the journal evolves, certain themes appear to be declining in prominence. This may reflect shifts in research priorities or emerging interests within the field of entomology.
  1. Traditional Pest Control Methods:
    Research focusing on conventional pest control techniques is becoming less frequent, as there is a growing emphasis on integrated pest management and sustainable practices.
  2. General Faunistic Surveys:
    While faunistic studies are still important, there is a noticeable decline in broad surveys without specific ecological or conservation implications, as more targeted research becomes favored.
  3. Insect Pathology Studies:
    Research on insect diseases and pathogens is waning, possibly due to a shift in interest towards ecological and behavioral studies rather than purely pathological investigations.
