Annals of the Entomological Society of America is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Entomological Society of America. It publishes original research on insect biology, ecology, taxonomy, behavior, physiology, and applied entomology, serving scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers. The journal has connections to major institutions and figures in natural history, agricultural science, and biodiversity conservation.
The journal was established in 1908 under the auspices of the Entomological Society of America, contemporaneous with institutions such as the Smithsonian Institution, United States Department of Agriculture, and universities like Cornell University, University of California, Berkeley, and Iowa State University. Early contributors included researchers affiliated with the American Museum of Natural History, Natural History Museum, London, and agricultural experiment stations at University of Florida and Pennsylvania State University. Over the 20th century the journal reflected developments linked to events and organizations such as the Morrill Land-Grant Acts, the rise of Integrated Pest Management programs associated with FAO, and collaborations with laboratories like the Boyce Thompson Institute and the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. Influential editorial figures had professional ties to societies like the Royal Entomological Society and participated in international congresses such as the International Congress of Entomology.
The journal covers taxonomy and systematics that reference type collections held at institutions such as the Natural History Museum, London, Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, and the Field Museum of Natural History, alongside ecological studies linked to sites like the Long Term Ecological Research Network locations, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and the Crocker Range National Park. Articles often address applied problems relevant to agencies including the United States Department of Agriculture, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the World Health Organization. Research topics intersect with work from scholars at Harvard University, Oxford University, University of Cambridge, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Stanford University. The journal publishes studies using methods with provenance in laboratories such as the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and collaborations with organizations like Conservation International and The Nature Conservancy.
Editorial leadership historically included editors affiliated with University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Texas A&M University, Michigan State University, and University of Wisconsin–Madison. The editorial board typically comprises specialists from institutions such as Yale University, Princeton University, University of British Columbia, Monash University, and University of Tokyo. Peer review follows standard practices shared with journals like Science, Nature, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences: anonymous external reviewers from networks including the Entomological Society of America membership, referees drawn from Royal Society fellows, and subject editors with connections to societies like the Linnean Society of London. Ethical policies reference guidelines comparable to those of the Committee on Publication Ethics and international standards observed by publishers including Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press.
The journal is published bimonthly by the Entomological Society of America, with distribution channels overlapping those of academic presses such as Johns Hopkins University Press and digital platforms used by JSTOR and PubMed Central for archiving. Subscription and institutional access commonly involve university libraries at University of Michigan, Columbia University, University of Texas at Austin, and national libraries including the Library of Congress. The journal’s digitization and indexing link it to databases maintained by organizations such as Web of Science, Scopus, and CAB International (CABI). Authors affiliated with funding bodies like the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and United States Agency for International Development often deposit preprints in repositories used by Harvard University and MIT.
The journal has been cited in policy reports from agencies such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency and in environmental assessments by United Nations Environment Programme. Its impact factor and citation metrics are tracked alongside journals like Ecology Letters, Journal of Applied Ecology, and Molecular Ecology. Reception among academic communities at institutions such as University of California, Davis, Iowa State University, and University of Florida emphasizes its role in bridging basic and applied entomology, with recognition from professional bodies including the American Association for the Advancement of Science and awards bestowed by the Entomological Society of America.
Notable contributions include taxonomic revisions referencing specimens from the British Museum (Natural History), seminal ecological syntheses comparable in influence to works published in Ecology and Annual Review of Entomology, and applied studies informing pest management strategies used by the United States Department of Agriculture and in international programs run by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Historic articles influenced practice at agricultural experiment stations such as those at University of Wisconsin–Madison and Iowa State University and informed conservation planning by organizations like World Wildlife Fund and Conservation International. The journal has published research by scientists associated with awards such as the National Medal of Science, fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, and recipients of prizes from the Entomological Society of America.
