About the journal
Ecological Entomology publishes top-quality original research on the ecology of terrestrial and aquatic insects and related invertebrate taxa. Our aim is to publish papers that will be of considerable interest to the wide community of ecologists.
In particular, we welcome submissions on:
1.Behavioural ecology
2.Biogeography
3.Community ecology
4.Dispersal and metapopulation ecology
5.Evolutionary ecology
6.Freshwater ecology
7.Herbivory
8.Host-parasitoid interactions
9.Invasive species
10.Population dynamics, especially of long-term field studies
11.Predator-prey interactions
12.Prey-pathogen interactions
13.Responses to climate change
14.Tritrophic (and higher order) interactions
Where the content of the paper falls outside of the remit of the journal, we may recommend that authors submit their papers to one of our sister journals. For example, papers in pest management that do not test broader ecological theories may be forwarded to Agricultural and Forest Entomology, if appropriate.
Reviews, critical appraisals, forum-type articles and short communications are welcomed.

Instructions to Authors
Editorial policy
Papers submitted to Ecological Entomology should be original research papers on insect ecology. See Aims and Scope for more details. Full-length Original articles, Short Communications, and Reviews are welcomed.
Papers should be in clear concise English and written in the passive voice. Original Articles should not exceed 6000 words of text (12 printed pages) but longer papers of particular merit may be accepted. Short Communications should not exceed 1500 words (see below for more details). Papers submitted must not have been published or accepted for publication by any other journal.
Ethical considerations will be taken into account in considering the acceptability of papers, and the editors' decision on this, as on other aspects, will be final.
Author material archive policy. Please note that unless specifically requested, Wiley-Blackwell Publishing will dispose of all submitted hardcopy or electronic material two months after publication. If you require the return of any material submitted, please inform the editorial office or production editor as soon as possible if you have not yet done so.
Preparation of the manuscript
Examine recent issues for details of acceptable style and format. Manuscripts should be prepared in Word, double spaced with wide margins, preferably in A4 format. Tables must be on separate sheets, and should be self-explanatory. Figure legends should be grouped together on a separate sheet.
All papers should contain:
• An informative, concise title (up to 20 words)
• A running title (up to 40 characters)
• A self-contained abstract of fewer than 250 words presented as a series of factual, numbered statements.
• Up to 10 key words
• The name, full postal address, telephone number, fax number and email address of the author to whom readers should address correspondence and offprint requests should be given on the first page (this will appear as a footnote in the journal and the publishers will send proofs to this author and address unless contrary instructions are written on the manuscript)
Taxonomic affiliation and authority should be given at the first mention of a species in the text.
References should conform to the name-and-date, system; titles of periodicals should not be abbreviated.
Statistics
To reduce confusion, Ecological Entomology has a standard set of guidelines for the presentation of statistical analyses. Click here for a list of commonly used abbreviations and their definitions, and these do not need to be explained in the text. However, authors must clearly state what statistical approaches were used in their analyses (supported where relevant by adequate references). Where statistics are presented in the text, we ask that the authors follow the presentation guidelines provided below.
After an analysis of variance, further simultaneous testing of treatment means should not be done, except for specific comparisons planned prior to the experiment. Simple measures of variability (e.g. SE, LSD, CI) should always accompany means. The same data should not be given in both tables and figures.
We would also request that authors ensure a match between the tests used and figures provided in the text. For example, where non-parametric tests are used (e.g. Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA), it is inappropriate to present the mean and standard error of the analysed data. Instead the median and an indicator of variation about the median (e.g. inter-quartiles) should be provided.
Preparation of artwork
• Prepare your figures according to the publisher's Electronic Artwork Guidelines. Although low quality images (GIF/JPG) are adequate for review purposes, print publication requires high quality images (TIFF/EPS) to prevent the final product being blurred or fuzzy. The Editorial Office will request the high-quality electronic figures and one good-quality hard copy of the figures are provided once your paper has been accepted.
• Create EPS files for images containing lineart. EPS files should be saved with fonts embedded (and with a TIFF preview if possible). The following packages can be used to create EPS files: Adobe Illustrator 7.0 and above, Deneba Canvas 6.0 and above, CorelDRAW 7.0 and above, SigmaPlot 8.01 and above. Other programs may also be able to create EPS files - use the SAVE AS or EXPORT functions. EPS files can be produced from other applications [e.g. PowerPoint, Excel (see Electronic Artwork Guidelines)] BUT results can be unpredictable (e.g. fonts and shading not converted correctly, lines missing, dotted lines becoming solid).
• Create TIFF files images containing half-tones/photographs. For scanned images, the scanning resolution (at final image size, see above for a guide to sizes) should be as follows to ensure adequate reproduction: lineart, >800 d.p.i.; half-tones, >300 d.p.i. Figures containing both halftone and line images, >600 d.p.i. The following programs can be used to create TIFF files: Adobe Photoshop 4.0 and above, Adobe Illustrator 9.0 and GraphPad Prism 3. Other programs may also be able to create TIFF files - use the SAVE AS or EXPORT functions.
• Black and white images should be supplied as 'grayscale'; colour images should be supplied as CMYK.
• Multipart figures should be supplied in the final layout in one file, labelled as (a), (b) etc
• Supply figures at final size widths if possible: 80 mm (single column) or 165 mm (double column)
• Use sans serif, true-type fonts for labels if possible, preferably Arial or Helvetica, or Times (New) Roman if serif fonts required.
• Ensure all lines and lettering are clear.
Colour work agreement forms
It is the policy of Ecological Entomology for authors to pay the full cost for the reproduction of their colour artwork. Therefore, please note that if there is colour artwork in your manuscript when it is accepted for publication, Wiley-Blackwell Publishing require you to complete and return a Colour Work Agreement form before your paper can be published.
Submission of the manuscript
Papers should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/Een. Full upload instructions and support are available online from the submission site via the 'Get Help Now' button.
If you are unable to submit online, please contact the Editor for details of submitting as hard copy or by e-mail.
Manuscripts which do not conform to the standards outlined here will be returned to the author(s) with a request that they are edited to meet these standards.
All papers should contain:
an informative, concise title (up to 20 words)
both line and page numbers
Supporting Information
'Supporting Information' is important to the findings of a paper but cannot be included in the printed copy due to space or format constraints. This information is made available on the Publisher's website when a paper is published. All such material must accompany manuscripts when they are originally submitted and will be reviewed with the main paper. The arrangements for depositing the material on the web will be made by the Publisher after the manuscript has been accepted for publication. Supporting Information can be data files (e.g. extensive species lists), movies or extensive Tables of information. This Information should enhance a reader's understanding of the paper, but is not essential to the understanding of the paper. All Supporting Information should be self-explanatory.
Submission of a Short Communication article
Papers should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/Een just as with Original Article submissions.
As with Original Articles, manuscripts submitted as Short Communications should be novel and of wide general interest to ecologists. We are flexible in the types of material submitted as a Short Communication, for example, manuscripts might develop and/or test novel methodological techniques, might describe natural history observations, or might present new empirical or experimental data. A Short Communication should be a concise report of an independent line of research, which does not require a detailed full-length paper.
The paper should contain the following 6 sub-headings:
Abstract (not exceeding 200 words, including between 3 and 6 keywords)
Introduction
Materials and Methods
Results and Discussion can be combined into a single section.
Acknowledgements
References
Furthermore, the Short Communication should include:
Maximum word count of 1500 words
No more than 20 cited references
No more than 2 tables/figures
The manuscript should be in a word document, consist of double line spacing, wide margins and preferably in an A4 format. Tables must be on separate sheets and should be self-explanatory. Figure legends should be grouped together on a separate sheet.
Submission of a Review Article
Papers should be prepared along the same lines as an Original Article (see above) but we are flexible in terms of the structuring of the paper. Please contact one of the Editors before preparing and submitting your paper.
Pre-submission English-language editing
Authors for whom English is a second language may choose to have their manuscript professionally edited before submission to improve the English. A list of independent suppliers of editing services can be found at http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/english_language.asp?. All services are paid for and arranged by the author, and use of one of these services does not guarantee acceptance or preference for publication.
Exclusive Licence Form
Authors will be required to sign an Exclusive Licence Form (ELF) for all papers accepted for publication. Signature of the ELF is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless a signed form has been received. Please note that signature of the Exclusive Licence Form does not affect ownership of copyright in the material. (Government employees need to complete the Author Warranty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be assigned). After submission authors will retain the right to publish their paper in various medium/circumstances (please see the form for further details). To assist authors an appropriate form will be supplied by the editorial office.
Please complete and return the Exclusive Licence Form with your revised manuscript when requested to do so by the Editor.
Proofs
The corresponding author will receive an email alert containing a link to a web site. A working e-mail address must therefore be provided for the corresponding author. The proof can be downloaded as a PDF (portable document format) file from this site. Acrobat Reader will be required in order to read this file. This software can be downloaded (free of charge) from the following web site:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
This will enable the file to be opened, read on screen and printed out in order for any corrections to be added. Further instructions will be sent with the proof. Hard copy proofs will be posted if no e-mail address is available.
Offprints
The corresponding author will receive a PDF file of the article free of charge. Additional offprints can be ordered by contacting offprint@cosprinters.com
