Contributions of Women in Insect Science
This special issue belongs to the section “Insect Physiology, Reproduction and Development“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To emphasize women's contributions to the field of insect science, the journal Insects is launching a Special Issue on “Contributions of Female Scientists to the Advancement of Insect Science”, which will be published in Insects (ISSN 2075-4450, https://www.mdpi.com/journal/insects) in 2022. This Special Issue will include high-quality research papers and review articles in basic areas of insect science. We invite insect scientists from around the world to share either their original research led by female scientist(s) or up-to-date reviews highlighting the leading role of women in the advancement of the field. We are particularly interested in contributions of women in the basic aspects of insect biology.
