ISSN 1312-9082Senior editor: Josef SettelePublisher: Pensoft A new series launched by Pensoft Publishers!Biodiversity and its conservation have become key issues for science and society. Enormous efforts have been devoted in recent decades worldwide to study the functional role of biodiversity in natural and human-transformed ecosystems, patterns in biodiversity and processes determining its variation and induced changes over space and time, and ways of conserving biodiversity. The integration of science, both at European and world level has led to numerous remarkable studies on biodiversity, often performed by large international teams of specialists. The usual practice of publishing in science is somewhat biased to offering the scientific results to international journals. This practice is understandable but such publications are usually limited in volume and their lifespan is often limited to a few years. This phenomenon forces researchers to publish their results in several separate papers, often spread in different journals. The integration of science, however, demands also an integrative approach in publishing and disseminating the scientific results to the academic community, stakeholders and society. To respond to this obvious need, Pensoft Publishers in cooperation with an international team of specialists from around the world, is pleased to launch a new series entitled “Invertebrate Ecology and Conservation Monographs”. The series will be published in 4 issues per year. Each issue may be published in a volume of a maximum of 250 printed pages. Larger monographs will be published as supplements to the series. The main aim of the series is to attract the attention of both academics and society to model studies in invertebrate ecology and conservation. It is also intended to include in-depth studies supported by detailed data, which nowadays are rarely published as complete works because of their volume, but which are often much more sustainable than many high impact journal papers. The Editorial Board hopes that the new series will quickly become an authoritative, well-recognised forum for all those who want to publish their results as a whole in a distinct, monograph-style, book. For the submission of manuscripts, either the Publisher, the Senior Editor or any of the members of the Editorial Board can be contacted. Editorial Board
