Call For Papers

Aims and Scope: Recent research suggests that many insects may possess sentience and the ability to feel pain. This special collection seeks to explore the implications of this evidence for animal welfare, focusing on insects. Contributions should address:

Scientific Evidence and Ethical Implications:

Demonstrating evidence of insect sentience and pain perception including in a collective sense (i.e. a swarm of bees).
Ethical considerations in the treatment of insects across various contexts (e.g., farming, pest control, research).
Practical Applications:

Detailing current practices in insect farming and other relevant industries.
Recommendations for improving welfare practices based on scientific findings.
Policy and Education:

Analysis of existing animal welfare policies and their applicability to insects.
Educational initiatives to raise awareness about insect welfare.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration:

Encouragement of collaboration between entomologists, welfare scientists, ethicists, and policymakers to develop comprehensive welfare strategies.
This collection highlights the importance of considering insect welfare in both research and practical applications. By gathering case studies and practical insights, we aim to advance the understanding and implementation of ethical practices concerning insect sentience.

Topics considered:

Insect welfare
Insect sentience
Insect behaviour
Ethical considerations
Invertebrate welfare
Insect farming
Policy developments
