生理學昆蟲學廣泛地研究“昆蟲是如何工作的”，以及它們如何在從基因和分子、解剖學和結構到整個生物體的行為和相互作用的各個層次上適應環境。我們發表高質量的基于實驗的論文，報道關于昆蟲和其他節肢動物的研究，以及偶爾的評論。因此，該雜志將重點放在了解昆蟲功能的生理和實驗方法上。雜志的廣泛主題包括但不限于:行為實驗分析行為生理學及生物化學神經生物學和感覺生理學一般的生理晝夜節律和光周期化學生態學

Physiological Entomology broadly considers “how insects work” and how they are adapted to their environments at all levels from genes and molecules, anatomy and structure, to behaviour and interactions of whole organisms. We publish high quality experiment based papers reporting research on insects and other arthropods as well as occasional reviews. The journal thus has a focus on physiological and experimental approaches to understanding how insects function. The broad subject coverage of the Journal includes, but is not limited to: experimental analysis of behaviourbehavioural physiology and biochemistryneurobiology and sensory physiologygeneral physiologycircadian rhythms and photoperiodismchemical ecology
