JOURNAL OF INSECT BEHAVIOR

The Journal is a forum for publication of studies of insects and related Arthropod groups on orientation, migration, social behavior, sexual selection, rhythmicity, mate finding and courtship, learning, predation, defense, and host finding. The Journal publishes original research and interpretative reviews.To be considered for publication, original papers should emphasize behavioral reactions, not the endpoints of behavior. Laboratory choice bioassays should attempt to mimic field conditions as much as feasible and the assay’s duration should be comparable to the natural times for response. Often parallel, no-choice bioassays will be useful comparisons. Papers that identify behaviorally active compounds generally are appropriate for journals that emphasize chemical ecology. If new structures are proposed, however, the guidelines in the Journal of Chemical Ecology for structural verification are to be followed. Papers that focus on field trapping, simple feeding assays, or insect management are not appropriate unless there is a significant emphasis on behavior. The Journal does not publish papers describing the behavioral effects of botanicals or anthropogenic compounds such as pesticides, repellants, or environmental contaminants. Preliminary work is not publishable. Papers that are not in acceptable English will be returned without review. Authors who are non-native English speakers are encouraged to have their papers reviewed by a native speaker or use an editorial service before submission. Spelling and punctuation are to follow American usage.The order and family of the study organism are to be given in parentheses at their first mention in the Abstract and Introduction. Species’ authors are not to be given. Keywords should include the scientific name and family of the main study organism(s) if they are not mentioned in the Title. Authors are encouraged to deposit voucher specimens of the subject species in a recognized collection and if appropriate indicate the authority responsible for species identification; these should be mentioned in the Materials and Methods or Acknowledgments as appropriate.The Author Contribution section precedes Acknowledgments and describes how authors (identified by initials) contributed to the study.

JOURNAL OF INSECT BEHAVIOR期刊中文简介

该杂志是一个出版昆虫和相关节肢动物群体研究的论坛，内容涉及定向、迁徙、社会行为、性选择、节律、寻找配偶和求爱、学习、捕食、防御和寻找寄主。该杂志发表原创研究和解释性评论。要考虑发表，原始论文应该强调行为反应，而不是行为的终点。实验室选择的生物测定方法应尽可能地模拟现场条件，而且测定的持续时间应与自然反应时间相当。通常是平行的，没有选择的生物测定法将是有用的比较。识别行为活性化合物的论文一般适用于强调化学生态学的期刊。然而，如果提出了新的结构，就必须遵循《化学生态学杂志》上关于结构验证的指导方针。除非对行为有显著的强调，否则专注于野外诱捕、简单喂养试验或昆虫管理的论文是不合适的。该杂志不发表论文，描述植物或人为化合物的行为影响，如杀虫剂，驱避剂，或环境污染物。前期作品不可发表。英文不合格的论文将不经审核退回。非母语为英语的作者在提交论文前，应让母语为英语的作者审阅或使用编辑服务。拼写和标点符号要遵循美国习惯。研究生物的顺序和科在摘要和引言中第一次提到时用括号标出。《物种》的作者没有给出。关键词应包括主要研究生物的学名和科系(如果没有在标题中提及)。鼓励作者将有关品种的凭证样本存放于认可的馆藏内，并在适当时注明负责品种鉴定的机构;这些应在材料和方法或致谢中适当提及。作者贡献部分在致谢之前，并描述作者(通过首字母识别)对研究的贡献。
