Insect Science is the study of insect biology, ecology, behavior, physiology, genetics, and management, integrating disciplines like entomology, molecular biology, and agriculture to explore their ecological roles, human interactions, and impacts.
The following Research Topics are led by experts in their field and contribute to the scientific understanding of plant-science. These Research topics are published in the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Insect Science, as open access articles.
Frontiers' Research Topics are peer-reviewed article collections around cutting-edge research themes.

This research topic explores emerging opportunities, highlighting advances and collaboration opportunities across sectors such as agriculture, horticulture, forestry, public health, and the environment.
Vector-borne diseases such as dengue, malaria, Zika, Chagas, and leishmaniasis pose significant socio-environmental challenges in the Global South, a region encompassing countries in the southern hemisphere.
Invasive insect species pose a significant threat to ecosystems worldwide, driven by factors such as climate change and international trade. Historically, climate has been a primary facilitator for the establishment and acclimatization of exotic species...
Climate change is reshaping ecosystems globally, altering the dynamics of invasive insect species in profound ways. This Research Topic aims to explore the multifaceted impacts of climate change on the behavior, distribution, and...
The field of entomology, which encompasses the study of insects, is a critical area of research with significant implications for biodiversity, agriculture, and ecosystem health. Despite its importance
Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene expression that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence, has become a pivotal area in understanding insect development. Insects, a diverse group of organisms...
