EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGY

《欧洲昆虫学杂志》创刊于1904年，是捷克昆虫学会的期刊。从那时起，它经历了漫长而多样的历程，包括几次标题的变更，从最初作为一份以捷克语为主文的当地出版物，到今天作为一个相当完善的国际昆虫学论坛，涵盖了最重要的文摘和索引服务。如果没有我们许多合作者的帮助，这将是不可想象的。我们非常感谢所有在许多方面提供了帮助的人，特别是在审查文件方面。我们要感谢过去和现在的编辑委员会成员，但也要感谢许多与我们的杂志没有特别联系的科学家，尽管如此，他们对我们要求审查一篇论文的要求作出了迅速的反应。我们也愿意向所有可能的捐助者发出公开邀请。我们尽力迅速处理提交的文件，并严格而公正地评估它们。任何提交都没有关于主题、作者、地理区域等方面的限制。所有属于最广泛的昆虫学领域(包括多足纲、螯合纲和陆生甲壳纲)的昆虫都是适当的。然而，我们更喜欢以昆虫为主要研究对象的综合性分析论文，而不仅仅是一种测试工具。2016年，EJE成为一份电子期刊，所有论文(包括之前的所有卷)都可以在网上免费获得。本文报道了欧洲昆虫学家作为模式种引进的一种有盖昆虫——红斑异翅目昆虫(opteran Pyrrhocoris apterus)。它现在已经成为各种昆虫学科之间的联系，并在一些具有世界意义的事件中发挥了作用(从发现幼年激素类似物开始)。我们认为，它是《欧洲昆虫学杂志》的忠实象征。

The European Journal of Entomology was founded in 1904 as a periodical of the Czech Entomological Society (under the title Acta Societatis Entomologicae Bohemiae). Since then it has made a long and varied way, including several title changes, from its beginnings as a local publication, with articles mainly in Czech, to its status today as a fairly well-established international entomological forum covered in the most important abstracting and indexing services.This would be quite inconceivable without the help of our many collaborators. We are much indebted to all those who have been helpful in so many ways, especially in reviewing papers. Our thanks are due to the members of the Editorial Board, past and present, but also to numerous scientists with no particular connection to our journal, who nevertheless responded readily to our request to review a paper.We would also like to make an open invitation to all potential contributors. We do our best to process submissions promptly, and to evaluate them strictly but fairly. There are no restrictions regarding the subject, author, geographic region, and so on, of any submission. All which fall within the broadest bounds of the field entomology (including Myriapoda, Chelicerata, and terrestrial Crustacea) are appropriate. Nevertheless, we prefer comprehensive analytic papers in which the insect is the main object of interest, not merely a testing tool. In 2016, EJE became an electronic-only Open Access journal with all papers (including all previous volumes) freely available online.The heteropteran Pyrrhocoris apterus, our cover insect, was introduced as a model species by European entomologists. It has now become a link between quite diverse entomological disciplines, and has played a part in some events of worldwide significance (beginning with the discovery of the juvenile hormone analogs). We believe that as such it is a faithful symbol of the European Journal of Entomology.
