Aquatic Insects

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.

《水生昆蟲》是一本國際期刊，發表關于水生和半水生昆蟲系統學、生物學和生態學的原創研究。

研究主題是水生和半水生昆蟲，包括四個主要目，即蜉蝣目、蜻蜓目、襁褓目和毛翅目，以及半翅目、鞘翅目和雙翅目的水生和半水生科，以及在生命周期的一部分中出現在激流和靜水生境中的膜翅目、鱗翅目、長翅目、巨翅目和脈翅目的具體代表。只有在空間允許的情況下，才會接受對其他水生六足動物（即彈尾目）的研究。不考慮其他水生節肢動物（例如甲殼類）的論文，除非與水生和半水生昆蟲密切相關（例如作為昆蟲寄生蟲的水螨）。

研究主題可能涉及廣泛的生物學領域。將接受對單個物種的分類修訂和描述，特別是如果包括有關棲息地偏好、物種共存、行為、物候、收集方法等的附加信息，這些信息對國際讀者具有普遍興趣。不鼓勵基于單個標本的描述。

歡迎對水生昆蟲在其生命周期的所有階段的形態、生理、行為和物候進行詳細研究，以及進行分子和系統發育分析的論文，特別是如果它們討論了該群體的生物、生態和動物形成的進化過程。

Aquatic Insects創刊于1979年，由Taylor and Francis Ltd.出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋生物 - 昆蟲學全領域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細分領域中專業影響力一般，過審相對較易，如果您文章質量佳，選擇此期刊，發表機率較高。平均審稿速度 12周，或約稿 ，影響因子指數0.5，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
