About the Journal

Insect Systematics and Diversity (ISD) publishes original research on systematics, evolution, and biodiversity of insects and related arthropods. The journal welcomes integrative studies incorporating comparative and developmental morphology, conservation, behavior, taxonomy, molecular phylogenetics, paleobiology, natural history, phylogeography, and articles that utilize novel technologies or data types or describe emerging methods of research. Jason Bond, University of California-Davis, and Hojun Song, Texas A&M University, serve as co-Editors-in-Chief. 

ISD is online-only and subscription-based. As an online-only journal, ISD is able to publish papers in a variety of lengths, from short communications, to reviews of current topics, to revisions of up to 200 pages. As the journal is online-only, all color figures are free to publish.
