Aquatic Insects is an international journal publishing original research on the systematics, biology, and ecology of aquatic and semi-aquatic insects.

The subject of the research is aquatic and semi-aquatic insects, comprising taxa of four primary orders, the Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera but also aquatic and semi-aquatic families of Hemiptera, Coleoptera, and Diptera, as well as specific representatives of Hymenoptera , Lepidoptera, Mecoptera, Megaloptera , and Neuroptera that occur in lotic and lentic habitats during part of their life cycle. Studies on other aquatic Hexapoda (i.e., Collembola) will be only accepted if space permits. Papers on other aquatic Arthropoda (e.g., Crustacea) will not be considered, except for those closely related to aquatic and semi-aquatic insects (e.g., water mites as insect parasites).

The topic of the research may include a wide range of biological fields. Taxonomic revisions and descriptions of individual species will be accepted especially if additional information is included on habitat preferences, species co-existing, behavior, phenology, collecting methods, etc., that are of general interest to an international readership. Descriptions based on single specimens are discouraged.

Detailed studies on morphology, physiology, behavior, and phenology of aquatic insects in all stadia of their life cycle are welcome as well as the papers with molecular and phylogenetic analyses, especially if they discuss evolutionary processes of the biological, ecological, and faunistic formation of the group.

《水生昆虫》是一本国际期刊，发表关于水生和半水生昆虫系统学、生物学和生态学的原创研究。

研究主题是水生和半水生昆虫，包括四个主要目，即蜉蝣目、蜻蜓目、襁褓目和毛翅目，以及半翅目、鞘翅目和双翅目的水生和半水生科，以及在生命周期的一部分中出现在激流和静水生境中的膜翅目、鳞翅目、长翅目、巨翅目和脉翅目的具体代表。只有在空间允许的情况下，才会接受对其他水生六足动物（即弹尾目）的研究。不考虑其他水生节肢动物（例如甲壳类）的论文，除非与水生和半水生昆虫密切相关（例如作为昆虫寄生虫的水螨）。

研究主题可能涉及广泛的生物学领域。将接受对单个物种的分类修订和描述，特别是如果包括有关栖息地偏好、物种共存、行为、物候、收集方法等的附加信息，这些信息对国际读者具有普遍兴趣。不鼓励基于单个标本的描述。

欢迎对水生昆虫在其生命周期的所有阶段的形态、生理、行为和物候进行详细研究，以及进行分子和系统发育分析的论文，特别是如果它们讨论了该群体的生物、生态和动物形成的进化过程。
