RES Journal Awards 2021-2023

RES Journal Awards 2021-2023 

We are delighted to announce the winners of the Royal Entomological Society Journals awards. These awards have been given to the best articles led by early career entomologists, published during 2021-2023. The winners were selected by the Editors-in-Chief of each journal using set criteria. Competition was tough, with the judging panels impressed with the quality of papers overall. This is extremely positive for the future of entomological research. The winning researchers quite literally span the globe, representing countries from Japan to Canada, Norway to Brazil, India to the Cameroon, and Germany to South Africa. It’s fantastic to see that insect science is thriving across the continents and our early career community are engaging in interesting and exciting research.  

Congratulations to all our winners.
