Coleopterology

Coleopterology (from Coleoptera and Greek -λογία, -logia) is the scientific study of beetles, a branch of entomology. Practitioners are termed coleopterists and form groups of amateurs and professionals for business and pleasure. Among these is The Coleopterists Society, an international organization based in the United States.

Journals

Research in this field is often published in peer-reviewed journals specific to the field of coleopterology, though journals dealing with general entomology also publish many papers on various aspects of beetle biology. Some of the journals specific to beetle research are:

The Coleopterist (United Kingdom beetle fauna)
The Coleopterists Bulletin (published by The Coleopterists Society)
Elytron (published by the European Association of Coleopterology)
