Norwegian Journal of Entomology

History

The first issue of the journal appeared in 1921[ citation needed ] under the name Norsk Entomologisk Tidsskrift. [1] The first issue bore the year 1920 as the year of publication, but it was not printed until May 1921.[ citation needed ] From 1921 to 1975, 21 volumes of the journal were published; some volumes were released over several years, whereas others came out at shorter intervals.[ original research? ]

In 1975 the journal's name was changed to Norwegian Journal of Entomology [1] [4] in order to attract a broader international readership.[ citation needed ] The journal was published with one volume per year and consisted of two issues.[ original research? ] Eventually there was difficulty financing the journal.[ citation needed ] The Norwegian Research Council for Science and the Humanities (NAVF) withdrew its support for the journal in 1979.[ citation needed ]

The Norwegian Research Council for Science and the Humanities was one of Norway's five research councils. It was established in 1949. NAVF was responsible for funding the natural sciences. In 1993, the five research councils merged into the present Norwegian Research Council.

An application for support for a new combined national zoology journal was sent to the NAVF.[ citation needed ] The new journal was a collaboration between the Norwegian Zoological Society and the Norwegian Ornithological Society.[ citation needed ] The first issue appeared in 1979 [1] [5] and the name of the journal was Fauna Norvegica Serie B (Series B was for arthropods, Series A was for zoology, and Series C was for ornithology). In 1993, the NAVF withdrew its support for the journal, but the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) took over responsibility.[ citation needed ] However, for financial reasons, NINA also terminated the agreement in 1998, [6] and the journal's further existence was jeopardized.[ citation needed ]

The Norwegian Ornithological Society is a Norwegian bird study and conservation organisation.

Zoology is the branch of biology that studies the animal kingdom, including the structure, embryology, evolution, classification, habits, and distribution of all animals, both living and extinct, and how they interact with their ecosystems. The term is derived from Ancient Greek ζῷον, zōion, i.e. "animal" and λόγος, logos, i.e. "knowledge, study".

Ornithology study of birds

Ornithology is a branch of zoology that concerns the study of birds. Several aspects of ornithology differ from related disciplines, due partly to the high visibility and the aesthetic appeal of birds.
