Call for Papers for Special Issue: Insects and Biofuels

Guest edited by Dr. Jian-Zhong Sun, Mississippi State University and Dr. Michael E. Scharf, University of Florida , this special issue will aim to promote research and collaborations on how insects digest lignocellulosic material, identify the types of mechanisms involved in these processes, describe what is known about the role of symbiotic microbes in this process, and connect this knowledge to potential applications to biofuels production, as well as other relevant scientific areas.

We invite researchers in all related scientific areas regarding to insects and their potentials for biofuels to submit a manuscript for this special issue. Original research papers dealing with any aspect of the topic, ranging from molecular/physiological to ecological approaches, are welcome. Review papers are also invited (need to submit a writing plan to guest editor prior to a full length of manuscript development).

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 2 members of an Invited Panel of Referees. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the Author Guidelines on the journal's web page (http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/journals/ins) and submitted by email attachment in MS Word format to the Guest Editor, Dr. Jian-Zhong Sun (email: jzsun1002@hotmail.com) no later than August 30, 2009.
