Approaches in entomology: Accelerating innovation, interdisciplinarity and insight through dissemination of advances to methods, philosophies and ethics across insect science

Le résumé fourni par la source

Abstract Insect science is a dynamic and continually evolving field, driven equally by the methods we develop, critique and use and the philosophies that guide our investigations, interpretations and applications. Advances in technologies and techniques allow us to study insects at unprecedented spatial, temporal and molecular scales, revealing deeper insights into the mechanisms by which they shape our ecosystems, society and human health. At the same time, evolving philosophical perspectives are continuously advancing how we design our experiments, consider our animals, infer new phenomena and share our findings. Together, methods, philosophies and ethics form the critical foundations of insect science from which progress across entomology ultimately arises. Sharing and reflecting on these approaches is essential for innovation in entomology to extend beyond individual laboratories and subdisciplines to benefit the wider scientific community. These interdisciplinary advances are, however, typically scattered across journals, disciplines and informal exchanges, often struggling to find a suitable home, limiting their visibility and impact. To address this need, the Royal Entomological Society has launched a new journal dedicated to methods and philosophies across insect science. Approaches in Entomology: Methods, Philosophies, and Ethics provides a dedicated forum for the dissemination, evaluation and development of innovative approaches across the full breadth of insect science with a particular emphasis on methods, philosophies and ethical dialogues.
