Journal Guide

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata publishes top quality original research papers in the fields of experimental biology and ecology of insects and other terrestrial arthropods, with both pure and applied scopes. Mini-reviews, technical notes and media reviews are also published. Although the scope of the journal covers the entire scientific field of entomology, it has established itself as the preferred medium for the communication of results in the areas of the physiological, ecological, and morphological inter-relations between phytophagous arthropods and their food plants, their parasitoids, predators, and pathogens. Examples of specific areas that are covered frequently are:host-plant selection mechanismschemical and sensory ecology and infochemicalsparasitoid-host interactionsbehavioural ecologybiosystematics(co-)evolutionmigration and dispersalpopulation modellingsampling strategiesdevelopmental and behavioural responses to photoperiod and temperaturenutritionnatural and transgenic plant resistance.

Entomological Science is the official English language journal of the Entomological Society of Japan. The Journal publishes original research papers and reviews from any entomological discipline or from directly allied field in ecology, behavioral biology, physiology, biochemistry, development, genetics, systematics, morphology, evolution and general entomology. Papers on techniques or applications will be considered for publication if they significantly advance in the field of entomological science in the opinion of the Editors and Editorial Board.

Environmental DNA is a fully double-blinded peer reviewed open access journal. The journal publishes papers that pertain to the analyses of environmental DNA (eDNA) (including ancient DNA, non-invasive sampling, diet analyses, metabarcoding, metagenomics, microbial ecology and pathogens) and address questions of both basic and applied relevance. Research areas (and non-exclusive examples of applications) of interest to Environmental DNA include but are not limited to:

• Experimental eDNA work: Testing the impact of physico-chemical factors (e.g. natural biogeochemistry and PCR pollutants) on eDNA, degradation, transport, shedding and detection rate, comparing detectionand abundance estimate with conventional methods.
• Trophic and community ecology: Ecosystem dynamics, functional diversity, predator-prey interactions (e.g. diet analysis), host-associated microbiota.
• Palaeo-environments: Past species and community diversity and abundance measurements, inference in space and time.
• Biomonitoring, conservation biology: Single- and multi-species detection, comprehensive biodiversity at different scales, abundance estimates, detection of rare, cryptic and endangered species, non-invasive sampling, management (e.g. fisheries), occurrence and detection estimates.
• Invasion biology: Early species detection at low abundance, passive surveillance, impacts on ecosystems, vectors and pathways of dispersal.
• Environmental assessment: Impacts of pollutants and other environmental disturbance on species and communities, microbial source tracking (fecal bacteria or pathogens).
• Physical eDNA properties: Uptake and transformation based on geochemistry, particles, organic chemistry or microbial community.
• Techniques and methods: Engineering development, developing, testing and evaluating eDNA biotechnology and biostatistical approaches.
• Applications in citizen science and biodiversity education
