Journal Title：Aquatic Insects

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.

Aquatic Insects 是一本国际期刊，发表关于水生和半水生昆虫的系统学、生物学和生态学的原创研究。

研究的主题是水生和半水生昆虫，包括四个主要目分类群，即蜉蝣目、蜻蜓目、翅翅目和毛翅目，以及半翅目、鞘翅目和双翅目的水生和半水生科。作为膜翅目、鳞翅目、长翅目、巨翅目和神经翅目的具体代表，在其生命周期的一部分中出现在流动和静息的栖息地。只有在空间允许的情况下，才会接受对其他水生六足动物（即跳虫）的研究。除与水生和半水生昆虫密切相关的论文（例如，作为昆虫寄生虫的水螨）外，其他水生节肢动物（例如甲壳纲）的论文将不予考虑。

研究的主题可能包括广泛的生物学领域。个别物种的分类修订和描述将被接受，特别是如果包含国际读者普遍感兴趣的栖息地偏好、物种共存、行为、物候、收集方法等的附加信息。不鼓励基于单个标本的描述。

欢迎对水生昆虫在其生命周期的所有阶段的形态学、生理学、行为和物候学进行详细研究，以及具有分子和系统发育分析的论文，特别是如果它们讨论生物、生态和进化过程的论文。群落的形成。
