Aims
Insects (ISSN 2075-4450) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal of entomology published by MDPI online monthly. It publishes reviews, research papers and communications related to the biology, physiology and the behavior of insects and arthropods. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
Scope
The scope of this journal includes, but is not limited to:
molecular entomology
applied entomology
systematic entomology
pest management
biology, physiology, ecology and pathology of insects
evolution of insects
insects and plants interaction
insects and public health
insects and environment
