ISI Journal Citation Reports® Ranking: 2008: 19/72 Entomology
Impact Factor: 1.281

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata publishes top quality original research papers in the fields of experimental biology and ecology of insects and other terrestrial arthropods, with both pure and applied scopes. Mini-reviews, technical notes and media reviews are also published. Although the scope of the journal covers the entire scientific field of entomology, it has established itself as the preferred medium for the communication of results in the areas of the physiological, ecological, and morphological inter-relations between phytophagous arthropods and their food plants, their parasitoids, predators, and pathogens. Examples of specific areas that are covered frequently are:

• host-plant selection mechanisms
• chemical and sensory ecology and infochemicals
• parasitoid-host interactions
• behavioural ecology
• biosystematics
• (co-)evolution
• migration and dispersal
• population modelling
• sampling strategies
• developmental and behavioural responses to photoperiod and temperature
• nutrition
• natural and transgenic plant resistance.
