During 2011 Kristine Edwards, a postdoctoral research associate in Jerome Goddard’s laboratory, will take over the editorship of Midsouth Entomologist from Chris Peterson, research entomologist for the Forest Service, who has served as the journal’s editor since its inception in 2006. The editorship of the journal is a five-year term and the transition comes at a time when the journal is established in the minds of the MEA membership and is poised to become a premier regional journal. Kristine and Chris will work closely to ensure a smooth transition and to continue the journal’s tradition of providing quality articles to the entomologists in Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Alabama. The journal has been a positive benefit to the MEA, and provides free, open access research articles, reports, and special features.
