The Asia-Pacific region is culturally and naturally diverse, being home to about 60% of the world's population. Therefore, biodiversity conservation and sustainable management of natural and agricultural ecosystems are more important than ever to secure the future of the region. Chemical ecology has historically contributed significantly to understanding inter- and intraspecies interactions and providing innovative solutions to species detection, surveillance and monitoring, pest management, diagnostics and product development. We also acknowledge the significant contribution of industry to the development and application of products arising from rigorous bench and field trials. Standing on the shoulders of giants, we aim to explore our discipline's current state and future in this highly biodiverse region. Our goal is to compile a special issue, including research, review and opinion papers representing the diversity of our region. We warmly invite researchers from different nationalities and career stages to participate.

We especially encourage early-career researchers to contribute to this effort by sharing their research and views on the future of our field. We would like to receive full submissions for this call by the end of October 2023 to compile and publish the work early in 2024. The Journal of Chemical Ecology has a hybrid model, where it is possible to publish free of charge under a subscription model and open access publication with a cost (a discount may be available for some institutions having agreements with the publisher). We invite you to visit the journal page directly for additional information.

We invite prospective contributors to provide a tentative topic and an informal summary of the intended contribution by May 30, 2023 via e-mail to one of the special issue editors. All submitted papers will undergo the peer-review process and, therefore, manuscript acceptance will be subject to favorable assessment by the reviewers and editors.

For additional information, please reach out to the Editors.
