Aims & Scope

Fragmenta entomologica is devoted to publishing high quality papers dealing with Arthropod biodiversity. It publishes research articles, short scientific notes, reviews articles, data papers, comments and editorials. The core scope of the journal includes Taxonomy, Systematics, Molecular phylogeny, Morphology, Paleontology, Biodiversity , Biogeography, Evolutionary biology, Conservation biology, Ecology and Ethology, and some aspects of the Applied Entomology more closely related to the natural sciences, and embraces all terrestrial, freshwater and brackish water Arthropods . Please note that articles that treat arthropods solely as experimental models for chemical or physiological research are considered low priority for the journal. Merely faunistic papers might be considered for publication only in the following cases: papers including relevant and significant new data emphasizing the conservation priority of rare, protected or endangered arthropods and their habitats; papers concerning with important newly introduced pest species; papers concerning with very poorly known geographic areas from scarcely investigated countries.
