International Journal of Insect and Animal Diversity Research

International Journal of Insect and Animal Diversity Research (IJIADR) is an international, open-access, peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research on insect diversity, animal biodiversity, taxonomy, ecology, and conservation biology.
The journal provides a scholarly platform for entomologists, zoologists, ecologists, wildlife researchers, conservation biologists, academicians, and policymakers to disseminate original research, systematic studies, experimental findings, and biodiversity assessments that enhance understanding of terrestrial and aquatic animal diversity at local, regional, and global scales.

IJIADR aims to promote scientific knowledge on species diversity, evolutionary relationships, ecosystem interactions, and conservation strategies essential for sustaining global biodiversity.
