Topical collection information
Invertebrates play a crucial role in all ecosystems, providing services like pollination, waste removal and recycling, and are often key indicators of ecosystem health. Papers covering biogeography, biology, ecology and conservation of invertebrates involved in ecosystem interactions and services will be considered. Original articles and short communications will be accepted as well as any reviews that are appropriate. The scope of the articles must be in line with the journal and as such should focus on Afrotropical invertebrates. We welcome papers on invertebrates involved in any of these interactions but papers on pests and pest control are beyond the scope of the journal and will not be accepted.

Permanent collection

Topical collection information
Despite various historic collections, the Diptera of Lesotho remains understudied. By enhancing the existing collections through targeted field expeditions, a resource for future research has been created. Authors have been invited to publish family accounts of various Diptera known from Lesotho as part of this special collection. Anyone wishing to work on a family should contact the lead editor to arrange the loan of material. While a definitive species list for Lesotho is a continual development, we hope that these preliminary lists will increase awareness about conservation and biodiversity in Lesotho.
