AQUATIC INSECTS

水生昆虫是一种国际期刊，出版关于水生和半水生昆虫的系统学、生物学和生态学的原始研究。本研究的主题是水生和半水生昆虫，包括四个初级目的分类群：麻黄目、蜻蜓目、多翅目和三翅目，以及半翅目、鞘翅目和双翅目的水生和半水生科，以及膜翅目、鳞翅目、甲翅目、巨翅目和神经翅目的特定代表。在它们生命周期的一部分时间里出现在多情的和慢性子的栖息地。只有在空间允许的情况下，才能接受对其他水生六足类动物（即弹尾目）的研究。除与水生和半水生昆虫（如水螨作为昆虫寄生虫）密切相关者外，其他水生节肢动物（如甲壳类动物）的论文将不予考虑。这项研究的主题可能包括广泛的生物领域。对于个别物种的分类修订和描述将被接受，特别是如果更多的信息包括对国际读者普遍感兴趣的栖息地偏好、共同存在的物种、行为、物候、收集方法等。不鼓励基于单个样本的描述。欢迎对水生昆虫的形态、生理学、行为和生命周期各个阶段的物候学进行详细的研究，并欢迎进行分子和系统发育分析的论文，特别是当它们讨论群体的生物、生态和动物形成的进化过程时。在各种淡水环境中，水生昆虫通常是种类和数量最多、种类最多的生物群，对群落结构和功能以及作为生态指标至关重要。因此，将考虑关于水生和半水生昆虫生态的不同方面的论文，但重点关注环境评估的应用方面（例如水质）的论文除外。将优先考虑包含自然生态或合成生态数据的论文。纯粹的动物研究和其他只涉及区域的论文将不予考虑。为了加强水生昆虫专家之间的交流和信息交流，还将出版书评和讣告。所有提交的手稿都要经过编辑的初步评估，如果认为适合进一步考虑，还需要由独立的匿名专家评审员进行同行评审。所有同行评审都是单盲评审。

Aquatic Insects is an international journal publishing original research on the systematics, biology, and ecology of aquatic and semi-aquatic insects.The subject of the research is aquatic and semi-aquatic insects, comprising taxa of four primary orders, the Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera but also aquatic and semi-aquatic families of Hemiptera, Coleoptera, and Diptera, as well as specific representatives of Hymenoptera , Lepidoptera, Mecoptera, Megaloptera , and Neuroptera that occur in lotic and lentic habitats during part of their life cycle. Studies on other aquatic Hexapoda (i.e., Collembola) will be only accepted if space permits. Papers on other aquatic Arthropoda (e.g., Crustacea) will not be considered, except for those closely related to aquatic and semi-aquatic insects (e.g., water mites as insect parasites).The topic of the research may include a wide range of biological fields. Taxonomic revisions and descriptions of individual species will be accepted especially if additional information is included on habitat preferences, species co-existing, behavior, phenology, collecting methods, etc., that are of general interest to an international readership. ?Descriptions based on single specimens are discouraged.? Detailed studies on morphology, physiology, behavior, and phenology of aquatic insects in all stadia of their life cycle are welcome as well as the papers with molecular and phylogenetic analyses, especially if they discuss evolutionary processes of the biological, ecological, and faunistic formation of the group.? In all kinds of freshwater environments, aquatic insects are usually the largest and most diverse group of organisms, by species and abundance, and are of paramount importance to the community structure and function, as well as serving as ecological indicators. Therefore, papers on different aspects of aquatic and semi-aquatic insect ecology will be considered, except for those that focus on applied aspects of environmental assessment (e.g., water quality).?Papers that include autecological or synecological data will be preferred. Purely faunistic studies and other papers of only regional interest will not be considered. To increase communication and information flow among the aquatic insect specialists, book reviews and obituaries will also be published.? All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees.?All peer review is single blind.
