Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Palaearctic is a major zoogeographic region that extends across Eurasia, north of the foothills of the Himalayas and North Africa. Its territory is characterized by a great diversity of climatic, landscape and ecological conditions. The vast expanses of the north and northeast of Palaearctic are occupied by tundra and taiga. A significant area of the west and east is covered with mixed and broad-leaved forests. Steppes and semideserts extend as wide strips into the south of the forest zone. A large belt of deserts, including the Atlantic coastal desert, Sahara desert and the Arabian desert, separates the Palearctic and Afrotropic regions. Extensive plain territories alternate with the impressive mountain ranges. Such a wide variety of landscapes and ecological features of the Palaearctic provides a great diversity of Hemiptera. The large and diverse order Hemiptera embraces terrestrial, aquatic and amphibiotic insects. Among Hemiptera, there are phytophages, zoophages and zoophytophages. Some species are serious pests of crops and forest plantations. Studies concerning the Hemiptera of the Palaearctic, while extensive, are still far from complete.
We invite manuscripts focusing on all aspects of the study of the diversity of terrestrial, aquatic and amphibious Hemiptera in various natural zones of the Palaearctic in this Special Issue. We welcome articles devoted to Hemiptera taxonomy at the morphological, karyological and molecular levels, biogeographic features, faunagenesis, the evolution of the Hemiptera fauna in the Palaearctic region and the distribution of harmful species.
