Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Arthropods comprise approximately 80% of all known species and have irreplaceable roles in nearly every ecosystem on Earth. Despite their importance, little research has been conducted on arthropods in educational settings. Research in arthropod education addresses the use of arthropods in formal and informal educational settings or as the central focus of science literacy education programming. The field of arthropod education research is a new area of study where meaningful and relevant scholarship is being conducted. This Special Issue is the second in a series that aims to showcase research that addresses the novel aspects of arthropod education, bringing together prominent and emerging researchers in this field.
