Editors' column: Announcement to Group Subscribers

Editors' column: Announcement to Group Subscribers Editors' column: Announcement to Group Subscribers It is all too well known that most individuals gct- ting involved with systematic and related research in entomology become increasingly specialized. From an editor's point of view this is regrettable, because the specialist generally finds too little of primary interest in the all-round systematic jour- nal in entomology to induce him or her to take out a full subscription. In order to reach the specialized entomologist, whether an amateur or a professional, it was deci- ded in 1979 that ENTOMOLOGICA SCANDI- NAVICA should offer Group Subscription as a possible alternative to Full Subscription (cf. Cederholm 1979, Ent. scand. 10: 209-210). Accordingly, since 1980 it has been possible to take a partial subscription to the Ent. scand. (incl. Ent. scand., Suppl. ) by choosing among 10 speci- fied Group Units representing the entire spec- trum of topics to be covered by the journal. The Group Units, as defined by taxonomic or ecological criteria, were briefly characterized by Cederholm (lic.cit.). Since then, experience has prompted a more detailed and slightly altered specification of the Group Units, so that we can now offer present and future Group Subscribers the following Group Units: 1. General subjects in systematic entomology, e.g., on principles in systematics and biogeography, nomenclature, methods of collecting and prepara- tion of insects, biographies, and bibliographical the- mes. 2. Beetles (Coleoptera); also including the Strepsipte- ra. 3. Moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera). 4. Wasps, bees and ants (Hymenoptera). 5. Bugs, leafhoppers, aphids, etc. (Hemiptera); also including the allied, smaller taxa of psocids and booklice (Psocoptera), lice (Phthiraptera), and thrips (Thysanoptera). 6. Flies, mosquitoes and midges (Diptera); also inclu- ding fleas (Siphonaptera). 7. Mainly aquatic taxa: mayflies (Ephemeroptera), dragonflies (Odonata), stoneflies (Plecoptera), the neuropterids (alderflies, lacewings), scorpion-flies (Mecoptera), caddisflies (Trichoptera) plus various groups of beetles, moths, bugs and true flies associ- ated with water. 8. Mainly terricolous taxa: myriapods (Pauropoda, Diplopoda, Symphyla, Chilopoda), enthognathous hexapods (Collembola, Diplura, Protura), aptery- gotan insects (silverfish) pltrs various groups of soil- dwelling mites (Acari). 9. Arachnids (spiders, scorpions, mites and ticks). 10. Orthopteroid insects, e.g., stick-insects, grasshop- pers, locusts, crickets, earwings, termites, and cock- roachcs. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Insect Systematics & Evolution Brill

Abstract

Editors' column: Announcement to Group Subscribers It is all too well known that most individuals gct- ting involved with systematic and related research in entomology become increasingly specialized. From an editor's point of view this is regrettable, because the specialist generally finds too little of primary interest in the all-round systematic jour- nal in entomology to induce him or her to take out a full subscription. In order to reach the specialized entomologist, whether an amateur or a professional, it was deci- ded in 1979 that ENTOMOLOGICA SCANDI- NAVICA should offer Group Subscription as a possible alternative to Full Subscription (cf. Cederholm 1979, Ent. scand. 10: 209-210). Accordingly, since 1980 it has been possible to take a partial subscription to the Ent. scand. (incl. Ent. scand., Suppl. ) by choosing among 10 speci- fied Group Units representing the entire spec- trum of topics to be covered by the journal. The Group Units, as defined by taxonomic or ecological criteria, were briefly characterized by Cederholm (lic.cit.). Since then, experience has prompted a more detailed and slightly altered specification of the Group Units, so that we can now offer present and future Group Subscribers the following Group Units: 1.
