Insect Systematics & Evolution

Insect Systematics & Evolution (ISE) is a subscription research journal in systematic entomology, published by Brill of Leiden and devoted to the classification, diversity and evolutionary history of living and fossil insects.《昆虫系统学与进化》（简称 ISE）是一本订阅制的系统昆虫学学术期刊，由莱顿的 Brill 出版，主题涵盖现生与化石昆虫的分类，多样性以及演化历史。

Its roots lie in the Scandinavian periodical Entomologica Scandinavica, which was rechristened at the turn of the 21st century while the volume sequence was carried over unchanged.它的源头是斯堪的纳维亚刊物《Entomologica Scandinavica》，世纪之交该刊改用现名，卷号则原样接续。

The 2025 Journal Citation Reports give the title a Journal Impact Factor of 1.9, a five-year value of 1.4 and a JCI of 0.66, and the journal is indexed in SCIE as well as in Scopus.2025 年《期刊引证报告》给出的影响因子为 1.9，五年值 1.4，JCI 指标 0.66，该刊被 SCIE 与 Scopus 收录。

Scope

• The declared field of the journal is original research on all aspects of systematic entomology, including the evolutionary history of extant and extinct insects and of their close relatives.刊物声明的范围是系统昆虫学各方向的原创研究，兼及现生与灭绝昆虫及其近缘类群的演化历史。
• Priority within that field is given to taxonomic revisions and to phylogenetic studies built on morphological evidence together with molecular evidence.在这一范围之内，分类修订与同时利用形态和分子证据的系统发育研究受到优先考虑。
• Reviews and syntheses are explicitly invited, on the condition that they can hold the interest of a broad community of systematic entomologists rather than a single specialist circle.综述与综合性论文亦在欢迎之列，条件是能吸引广泛的系统昆虫学读者群，而非仅面对一个小圈子。
• Papers that describe a single species, that compile a regional checklist, or that reconstruct phylogeny from few taxa or from one molecular marker alone are generally not accepted.单一物种的描述论文，区域名录汇编，以及仅依据少数类群或单个分子标记重建系统发育的稿件，通常不予接受。
• Generic and family-level revisions dominate the content, and such papers regularly introduce new genera, new species groups and formal nomenclatural acts.属级与科级修订在目录中占主导，这类文章常伴随新属，新种组的建立以及命名法上的正式处理。
• Ordinal coverage is broad, with Coleoptera, Hemiptera and Diptera represented in nearly every recent volume.涉及的目相当宽，近几卷几乎都有鞘翅目，半翅目与双翅目的论文。
• Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera form another large stream, including work on crambid moths, nymphalid butterflies, parasitoid wasps and ants.鳞翅目与膜翅目构成另一大宗，内容涉及草螟科蛾类，蛱蝶科蝴蝶，寄生蜂与蚂蚁。
• Smaller orders are not excluded, and Orthoptera, Neuroptera, Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Thysanoptera and Dermaptera all appear in volumes of the past decade.较小的目同样不被排除，直翅目，脉翅目，蜉蝣目，襀翅目，缨翅目与革翅目在近十年的卷次中均有刊载。
• Six-legged animals beyond Insecta in the narrow sense fall inside the scope, as shown by contributions on springtails in the family Entomobryidae.狭义昆虫之外的六足动物也在范围之内，弹尾目 Entomobryidae 的专文即是例证。
• The boundary is drawn by the systematic question rather than by ordinal membership, and a few contributions address spider lineages that serve as outgroups or comparators.边界按系统学问题划定而非按目级归属划定，少数文章会处理蜘蛛类群，用作外群或参照。
• Fossil insects belong to the journal, with mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber specimens used to extend beetle lineages back into the Mesozoic.化石昆虫亦属刊物范围，有研究以白垩纪中期的缅甸琥珀标本把若干甲虫类群的记录推向中生代。
• Molecular practice spans sequencing of standard gene markers, complete mitochondrial genomes and DNA barcoding, usually scored against a morphological dataset.分子手段涵盖常规基因标记测序，完整线粒体基因组与 DNA 条形码，结果通常与形态数据集相互印证。
• Geometric morphometrics, larval and pupal anatomy and re-examination of type specimens are recurring methodological threads across the volumes.几何形态测量，幼虫与蛹的解剖，以及模式标本复核，是各卷反复出现的方法线索。
• Biogeographic and phylogeographic interpretation accompanies many revisions, drawing on material from the Neotropical region, Australia, China, the Palearctic and the eastern Himalaya.许多修订附带生物地理或系统地理讨论，材料取自新热带区，澳大利亚，中国，古北界与喜马拉雅东部。
• Identification aids such as illustrated keys to ant subfamilies and genera are published when they serve working systematists.面向从业系统学者的鉴定工具亦可刊出，例如蚂蚁亚科与属级的图检索表。

History

• The predecessor Entomologica Scandinavica began in 1970 as a Scandinavian entomological periodical, and its volumes are registered today under the ISSNs of the successor title.前身《Entomologica Scandinavica》于 1970 年作为斯堪的纳维亚昆虫学刊物创刊，其卷次如今登记在后继刊名的 ISSN 名下。
• That series reached volume 29 in 1998, and the successor title took up the sequence at volume 30, the volume citation databases date to 1999.旧刊止于 1998 年的第 29 卷，后继刊名自第 30 卷接续编号，引文数据库把该卷记为 1999 年。
• Dropping the regional adjective from the title went with an opening of the content to world fauna, so submissions from the Neotropics and Australasia now share the pages with northern material.题名去掉地域限定词之后，内容转向全球区系，新热带区与澳大拉西亚的稿件如今与北温带材料同登一卷。
• Volume-year correspondence remained regular afterwards, with volume 40 in 2009, volume 46 in 2015 and volume 56 in 2025, and a new volume opening each calendar year.此后卷与年的对应保持稳定，第 40 卷对应 2009 年，第 46 卷对应 2015 年，第 56 卷对应 2025 年，每个自然年开新卷。
• Issue counts per volume run to four in most years and to five in several recent ones, while citation databases describe the frequency as quarterly.多数年份每卷出 4 期，近年数卷出到 5 期，引文数据库则把刊期记为季刊。
• An editorial published in volume 40 marked 2009 as the year the forty-year-old periodical passed to Brill and first appeared online.第 40 卷刊出的一篇社论宣告，这份已有四十年历史的刊物自 2009 年起转由 Brill 出版，并首次提供线上阅读。^[1]
• The imprint now sits with Brill in Leiden, and Crossref metadata records the publisher as Walter de Gruyter GmbH (Brill), reflecting the incorporation of Brill into the de Gruyter group.出版权如今归莱顿的 Brill，Crossref 元数据把出版方登记为 Walter de Gruyter GmbH (Brill)，反映 Brill 已并入 de Gruyter 集团。
• The identifiers registered for the present title are 1399-560X in print and 1876-312X in electronic form, and article DOIs sit under the Brill prefix 10.1163, which also covers the deposited backfile.现名登记的标识为印刷版 1399-560X 与电子版 1876-312X，论文 DOI 一律用 Brill 前缀 10.1163，回溯过卷也在此名下注册。
• Citation databases still note Denmark as the country of publication with an editorial address at Apollo Books in Stenstrup, the base that held the journal before Brill.引文数据库仍把出版地记为丹麦，编辑部地址留在 Stenstrup 的 Apollo Books，即 Brill 接手前的编辑与出版据点。
• The journal remains a subscription title, is absent from the Directory of Open Access Journals and recorded in OpenAlex as not open access, while JCR measured a gold open access share of 6.12 per cent for 2025.该刊仍是订阅刊，未收入开放获取期刊目录，OpenAlex 亦标记为非开放获取，JCR 统计 2025 年金色开放获取文章占比为 6.12%。
• Reported impact factors moved from 1.304 in 2022 to 1.3 in 2023 and 1.4 in 2024 before reaching 1.9 in 2025, with the five-year figure at 1.4.影响因子 2022 年为 1.304，2023 年回落到 1.3，2024 年为 1.4，2025 年升至 1.9，五年值为 1.4。
• In the 2025 edition of JCR the title stands 33rd of 110 journals in ENTOMOLOGY, a Q2 position, and 40th of 54 in EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY, a Q3 position.2025 年 JCR 中，该刊在 ENTOMOLOGY 类目列 110 种之第 33，属 Q2，在 EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY 列 54 种之第 40，属 Q3。
• Output stays small, with 19 articles counted for 2025 against 468 citations received in the same year, an immediacy factor of 0.5 and a cited half-life of 11.9 years.发文规模不大，2025 年计 19 篇文章，当年被引 468 次，即时指数 0.5，被引半衰期 11.9 年。
• Scopus indexes the journal under the subject groups Insect Science and Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, the latter of which hosts its CiteScore series.Scopus 收录该刊，学科组为昆虫学以及生态，演化，行为与系统学，CiteScore 数据挂于后者名下。

Editors

• The editor-in-chief is Hojun Song, an orthopterist who joined the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University in 2025 after years on the faculty of Texas A&M University.主编为 Hojun Song，专业方向是直翅目系统学，2025 年自 Texas A&M University 转往 Arizona State University 的生命科学学院。
• His own research documents diversity and evolutionary relationships among grasshoppers, katydids and crickets, and it uses swarming locusts to probe phenotypic plasticity.他本人的工作记录蝗虫，螽斯与蟋蟀的多样性及演化关系，并以群居型蝗虫探讨表型可塑性。
• Manuscripts reach the editorial office through the Editorial Manager submission system operated for the journal, and no paper-based route is offered.来稿经该刊所用的 Editorial Manager 在线系统递交，编辑部不接收纸质投稿渠道。
• The published scope statement works as a desk-screening rule, because the material the editors decline is named there in advance.公开的范围声明同时充当初审规则，编辑不予送审的稿件类型已在文中提前列明。
• Reviewers are sought among specialists in the order under discussion, and the editors issue decisions on the strength of the reports they receive.审稿人在稿件所讨论的目内遴选，编辑依据收到的审稿意见作出裁决。
• Publication language is English, and papers carry abundant figures, with type specimens and habitus photographs shown next to the descriptive text.出版语言为英语，论文附图丰富，模式标本与活体生态照片与描述正文并列呈现。
• Comment, reply and erratum items have a place in the journal, so a systematic conclusion published in one volume can be challenged in a later one.评论，回应与勘误条目在刊物中有位置，某一卷发表的分类学结论可在后续卷次中被质疑。
• Front matter and back matter are deposited as separate records for each volume, so the volume opens and closes with material that belongs to no single article.每卷的前页与末页作为独立条目登记，卷首卷尾材料不隶属于任何单篇论文。
• Because the editors favour synthesis, a review is expected to address a readership wider than the specialist group it summarises.编辑偏好综合性工作，综述因此需面向比其所综述的专门类群更广的读者。
• Editorial continuity with the predecessor title is preserved in the identifier records, which route every volume from 1970 onwards to the same journal entry.与旧刊的编辑连续性保存在标识记录中，1970 年以来的各卷都归到同一个刊名条目下。
