Declining or Waning
- Traditional Entomology Studies:
Research focusing solely on traditional entomology, including species descriptions and ecological studies of insects, seems to be less prevalent, possibly due to a shift towards more applied and interdisciplinary studies. - General Taxonomy without Molecular Insights:
While taxonomic studies are still present, there is a noticeable decline in general taxonomic papers that do not incorporate molecular methods, reflecting a broader trend towards integrating molecular techniques in taxonomy. - Historical Ecological Studies:
Papers that focus primarily on historical ecological assessments without contemporary relevance or application are becoming less common, as the journal leans towards research with immediate implications for current environmental issues. - Studies on Non-Ecological Microorganisms:
Research focused on the ecological roles of microorganisms has gained traction, but studies on non-ecological aspects of microorganisms, such as purely biochemical analyses without ecological context, appear to be waning.
