Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on insect physiology, focusing on how environmental factors and internal biological processes influence insect life. Studies investigate the physiological costs of immune activation, the role of substrate-borne vibrations in host location, and the impact of environmental conditions like relative humidity and temperature on insect survival, development, and performance. Research also explores sex-specific physiological responses, such as those related to diapause, and the dynamics of water turnover within insect colonies. The journal examines intercellular communication through extracellular vesicles and the evolutionary conservation of molecular components involved in these processes.
