Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Working on the previous edition of our Special Issue was a great honor and a true pleasure. We were surprised by the diversity of the submitted papers. At the same time, we fully realize that together we have only scratched the surface. Unexplored species are still waiting for their turn, not only in natural habitats but also in museums and private collections. Let us give them a chance! At the same time, the development of modern research methods allows us to address questions and problems that have previously remained unresolved. Every step brings us closer to our goal. Therefore, we would like to draw your attention to the continuation of our Special Issue. In this edition, priority will be given to papers on groups of beetles that lie somewhat outside the mainstream of coleopterological interest, for example, families characterized by fewer species or less known distribution. We are confident that publishing such materials in our Special Issue will increase the audience and, consequently, provide new impetus for research on these taxa. As in the previous edition, papers resulting from international collaborations will be promoted.
