Advances in the study of feeding behavior: Launching the new Journal of Behavior and Feeding

Since 2009, the Instituto de Investigaciones en Comportamiento Alimentario y Nutrición (IICAN) of the University of Guadalajara has been among the pioneering Mexican institutions in the study of eating behavior, emphasizing multi, trans and interdisciplinary research on food phenomena and the importance of education on these topics not only to broaden knowledge, but also to obtain tangible results in terms of human and animal health and well-being. Undertaking this editorial project was one of the goals of the members of IICAN since its foundation, with the aim of creating a forum where the most up-to-date research of consolidated academics, young researchers, and students at the beginning of their careers could be disseminated. We consider that the novelty of the Journal of Behavior and Feeding is that it will be a space where all disciplines - from molecular biology to sociology - and all study subjects - from insects to human and non-human primates - are welcome. The common denominator will simply be 'eating behavior', understood as everything that organisms do to feed themselves.
