About the Journal
International Journal of Insects is a peer-reviewed Online journal launched in 2024 that focuses on the study of insects and related arthropods. The journal aims to publish high-quality research articles, reviews, and communications on all aspects of insect biology, ecology, behavior, physiology, genetics, evolution, and systematics.
Focus and Scope

- Insect behavior, including mating behavior, foraging, and social behavior: insects, arthropods, behavior, mating behavior, courtship, sexual selection, mate choice, pheromones, reproductive success, foraging behavior, host plant selection, chemical ecology, social behavior, communication, aggression, cooperation, altruism, kin selection, parental care, caste systems, eusociality, insect societies.
- Insect ecology, including interactions with other organisms and their environment: insects, arthropods, ecology, habitats, ecosystems, biodiversity, community ecology, population ecology, competition, predation, parasitism, mutualism, plant-insect interactions, herbivory, pollination, insect vectors, disease ecology, insect-plant coevolution, climate change, habitat fragmentation, habitat restoration, conservation biology, ecosystem services, ecosystem functioning.
