Ecological Entomology

Aims & Scope

Ecological Entomology publishes top-quality original research on the ecology of insects and related invertebrate taxa.

Our aim is to publish papers that will be of considerable interest to the wide community of ecologists who are motivated by ecological or evolutionary theory.

The suitability of a manuscript will usually be assessed within 5 days.

We publish full-length Original Articles as well as Reviews, Short Communications, Methods and Natural History papers.

In Original Articles, we greatly prefer papers that test specific hypotheses and which have a high degree of novelty.

All categories aim for innovative contributions that advance the subject of ecological entomology.
