The article discusses changes to the editorial board of the "Insect Molecular Biology" (IMB) journal. George Dimopoulos, Jose Ribeiro and Hugh Robertson were added to the editorial board. Louis Miller and Nicole Pasteur decided to step down as members of the board. With the help of the board, IMB is confident that it will continue to grow and evolve in the area of insect molecular biology.

The article presents information about the aims and scope of the journal "Insect Molecular Biology." Insect Molecular Biology is the first international journal entirely for those applying molecular genetic techniques to the study of insects. The Journal publishes only high-quality original research articles on the structure, function, mapping, organization, expression and evolution of insect genes/genomes. It serves both the fundamental and applied aspects of insect molecular biology and papers reporting the molecular interactions between insects and microorganisms, or papers related to the medical and agricultural sectors, are welcome. The journal will not publish papers that use molecular techniques solely to identify members of a species complex, unless this analysis is used to answer a biological question or establish novel data on molecular evolution.
