Arthropod-Plant Interactions

Aims & Scope

Arthropod-Plant Interactions is a quarterly journal committed to the publication of high quality original papers and reviews with a broad fundamental or applied focus on the ecological, biological, and evolutionary aspects of the interactions between insects and other arthropods with plants.

Papers focusing on all aspects of such interactions including chemical, biochemical, genetic, and molecular analysis, as well as papers reporting on multitrophic studies, ecophysiology, and mutualism, are welcomed.

Studies that present field-based long-term data are strongly supported.

Arthropod-Plant Interactions will encourage the submission of forum papers that challenge prevailing hypotheses.

Review papers on invited topics will be printed, along with high quality unsolicited ones in order to ensure a greater diversity of opinions.

Papers focusing on the relevance of theoretical developments in the area to applied outcomes are also highly encouraged.
