Redia supports its long history of basic and applied research in entomology and

invertebrate zoology in the field of crop and forest tree protection responding

at the same time to the increasing need of innovation and technological

improvement.

The Editors will continue to give attention to fundamental studies on taxonomy

and biology of insects, mite and nematodes in agricultural and forest

ecosystems, also by means of the molecular biology (biosystematics), and to

accept works on the applied research to prevent and control the pest

infestations  including biological control and biotechnologies.

Generally speaking, within its scope, the journal is aimed to give information

on studies and researches on basic and applied zoology and entomology in the

field of the crop and forest protection, in the frame of an international and

interdisciplinary scientific system.

At the same time, to give by the journal also practical information to the field

operators in agriculture and forests is one of the most remarkable and

demanded purposes.
