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. Review articles are also welcomed but please contact one of the Editors before submitting your manuscript.Please refer to our Author Guidelines and submission site for more information.Where the content of the paper falls outside of the remit of the journal, we may recommend that authors submit their papers to one of our sister journals. For example, papers in pest management that do not test broader ecological theories may be more suited to Agricultural and Forest Entomology, and papers that focus primarily on examining patterns of insect distribution and diversity may be more suited to Insect Conservation and Diversity.

《生態昆蟲學》發表了關于昆蟲生態學及相關無脊椎動物類群的高質量原創研究。我們的目標是發表對廣大生態學家具有相當大興趣的論文，這些生態學家的動機是生態學或進化論。手稿的適宜性通常在5天內進行評估。我們出版完整的原創文章以及評論，簡短的交流，方法和自然歷史論文。在原創文章中，我們更傾向于測試特定假設，并且具有高度新穎性的文章。所有類別的目標都是促進生態昆蟲學學科的創新貢獻。也歡迎評論文章，但請聯系編輯之前提交您的稿件。更多信息請參考我們的作者指南和提交網站。如果論文的內容超出了期刊的范圍，我們可以建議作者將他們的論文提交給我們的姐妹期刊之一。例如，在害蟲管理方面，沒有檢驗更廣泛的生態理論的論文可能更適合于農業和森林昆蟲學，而主要側重于檢查昆蟲分布和多樣性模式的論文可能更適合于昆蟲保護和多樣性。
