Read MoreFrontiers in Insect Science is a multidisciplinary open access platform dedicated to the publication of articles that advance the field of entomology.
This encompasses research related to the biology, physiology and neurobiology of insects and the applications of insect research to anthropogenic challenges. The latter includes important topics such as insects adapting to changing global conditions or developing fields such as insect culturing for nutrition. We also welcome research with a similar conceptual focus that involves spiders.
