RES launches new journal: Approaches in Entomology
FeatureThe Royal Entomological Society is delighted to announce the launch of a new journal to join the seven journals already published by the society.
Approaches in Entomology (AIE) will publish innovative and exciting advances to methods and techniques across the broad remit of entomology, encompassing all stages and subdisciplines of entomological research, from lab and field to computation, theory and interpretation, including the philosophical and ethical underpinnings of insect science. AIE will also be the first fully open access journal published by the Society.
Call for Submissions: Approaches in Entomology
FeatureApproaches in Entomology was the brainchild of Editor-in-Chief, Jordan Cuff, and Emilie Aimé, Director of Publications at the Society, and will fill a gap in the RES portfolio of journals, by covering methods, philosophies and ethics in insect science. Alongside Jordan, Approaches in Entomology will be led by a multidisciplinary team of exceptional insect scientists from across the broad remit of the journal: Meghan Barrett, Mike Bonsall, and Beulah Garner.
The RES Pledge
FeatureAre you a BEEliever?
MPs gathered in Westminster this Insect Week to pledge their support for insect life at the launch of a new All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) that will champion bees, pollinators and invertebrates. The group will focus on new research both in the academic and applied sectors and how this can be used to independently inform parliamentarians when focusing on various areas of policy.
The launch of the APPG reflects growing recognition that insect protection is not only a conservation issue, but also a matter of long-term environmental and economic sustainability. By supporting collaboration between scientists, policymakers and the public, the group aims to help shape an informed and balanced approach to environmental stewardship.
