Scope

The Insect Physiology section of Frontiers in Insect Science publishes high-quality basic and applied research on all aspects of insect physiology. Research aimed at understanding Insect Biology at the physiological level or at the interface of physiology, biochemistry and molecular is relevant for this section. Submission of manuscripts that report new integrative or comparative information that advances understanding of fundamental biological processes in insects and other arthropods or that is relevant to pest management, vector control, or management of resistance are encouraged. 

Areas covered by this section include, but are not limited to:

·        Insect biology studies employing physiological, biochemical and/or molecular approaches.

·        Characterization of fundamental physiological processes in insects and other arthropods including but not limited to:  development, endocrinology, nutrition, digestion, excretion and respiration, immunity, physiological processes associated with chemical ecology, and biomechanics. 

·        Biochemical, molecular and genomic studies that address physiological questions.

·        Pest management studies relevant to the physiology of arthropods.

·        Methodological and review articles that address physiological topics.
