We are excited to present the inaugural Frontiers in Insect Science 'Rising Stars in Insect Physiology' Research Topic. Recent progress in the field of Insect Physiology has benefited from the use of diverse, integrative, and multidisciplinary research approaches that are being conducted by an emerging generation of early career investigators (graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, assistant professors) who are as diverse, integrative, and multidisciplinary as the approaches they utilize. These investigators represent the next generation of Insect Physiology who are pioneering new research directions and providing novel perspectives on classical research topics. Thus, Frontiers in Insect Science is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of early career investigators in Insect Physiology.The goal of this research topic is to highlight the recent research contributions of early career investigators (graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, assistant professors) in Insect Physiology, with an emphasis on research projects or topics that are integrative and/or multidisciplinary in nature.The article collection will consider manuscripts presenting original research or mini-reviews on a topic of relevance to Insect Physiology in which the first or last author is a graduate student, postdoctoral researcher, or assistant professor at the time of submission (please address this in the cover letter). Also, in the cover letter, please briefly highlight the significance and innovation of the manuscript to the field of Insect Physiology and how the research contribution is integrative and/or multidisciplinary in nature.
