An international journal devoted to the conservation of insects and related invertebrates
International in scope and audience, the Journal of Insect Conservation publishes articles on the conservation of insects and related invertebrates. The papers presented touch on all aspects of conservation and biodiversity of insects and closely related groups such as Arachnids and Myriapods, including ecological work with conservation implications. Articles focus on both theoretical and practical topics, addressing the subject at the community, population and species level. Coverage includes aspects of behaviour, taxonomy and genetics, and ranges from local to global. Review articles are included, as well as points of view which are likely to stimulate debate.
The journal is produced in association with Butterfly Conservation Europe, a wildlife charity dedicated to the conservation of lepidoptera and their habitats, and which was closely involved in developing the journals concept. Further information on Butterfly Conservation Europe and its work can be found at: https://www.vlinderstichting.nl/butterfly-conservation-europe/.

Journal of Insect Conservation is proud to support a new initiative called Publication Partners, which was launched earlier this year as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and the knock-on effect on individuals struggling to continue with their research. Publication Partners enables authors who are struggling to find the time for their manuscript due to the pandemic, to ‘buddy’ with a ‘partner’ who can help get the manuscript into a publishable form.
