All
aspects of insect physiology are published in this journal which will also
accept papers on the physiology of other arthropods, if the referees consider
the work to be of general interest. The coverage includes endocrinology (in
relation to moulting, reproduction and metabolism), pheromones, neurobiology
(cellular, integrative and developmental), physiological pharmacology,
nutrition (food selection, digestion and absorption), homeostasis, excretion,
reproduction and behaviour. Papers covering functional genomics and molecular
approaches to physiological problems will also be included. Communications on
structure and applied entomology can be published if the subject matter has an
explicit bearing on the physiology of arthropods. Review articles are also
welcomed.
