The article offers information related to the Volume 49, Part 2, May 2013 issue of the journal "Myrmecia." The Professional Association Management Service (PAMS) was selected by Australian Entomological Society (AES) to provide the office of the organization with services. It adds that Jonathan Majer has retired from Curtin University after 38 years and nine days. Moreover, the meeting of the European and Australasian Thrips Network in Christchurch, New Zealand in April 2013 is also discussed.

With a goal of delineating a small, core collection of journals to cover growing domestic and worldwide interest, this study reports four findings about articles related to medical entomology that appeared from 2007–2011. First, in the study of insects as disease vectors, journals of tropical medicine and biology actually publish almost as many papers as journals of medical entomology and vector biology, and among type-of-insect journals, those dealing with mosquitoes, ticks, and mites are most prominent. Second, in the literature of insect bites, journals of general entomology that intermittently feature recurring papers on medical entomology and type-of-insect titles that emphasize mosquitoes are the most important. Third, in the study of insect venoms, 70 percent of papers come from the journals of toxicology and related disciplines such as protein biochemistry. Fourth, while there were dozens of different noxious arthropods mentioned one to four times in the medical literature during our time span, mosquitoes were by far the most discussed with almost 1,000 articles, followed by, in decreasing rank order: wasps, bees, and ants; spiders and scorpions; flies and midges; cockroaches; lice; fleas; ticks and mites; true bugs; and centipedes. Based on the combined findings of all four sections, recommendations are made for a compact core of nine subscription-based journals that, along with dozens of Open Access and widely subscribed scientific and clinical titles already in many collections, will well serve academic and healthcare institutions that wish to begin supporting, in a reasonably economical manner, heightened awareness of major findings on insects and other arthropods that impact human health, and to potentially join in research efforts to control or eradicate them.

An introduction to the "Journal of Insect Science" (JIS) is presented which discusses updates and goals for 2019 including its impact factor, the increase in the percentage of women subject editors, and the development of standard protocols to prevent duplication.

A list of reviewers of articles in the 2015, volume 69 issue of the "Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society" is presented which include Art Shapiro, Don Davis and Terry Harrison.

This article offers information on the journal "Bulletin of Entomological Research," the "International Journal of Tropical Insect Science" and the Entomological Society of Canada.

The front cover of the journal is presented along with the issue's editors, information on membership and subscriptions, and table of contents.

The article offers information on the Spanish magazine "SHILAP Revista de lepidopterología," which has passed the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology's (FECYT) quality evaluation process, and Universal Impact Factor (UIF).

The article provides information on "Entomotaxonomia," an international peer-reviewed journal that published high-quality original articles on the theory and application of insect taxonomy, systematics and phylogeny established in 1979. The journal only published manuscripts in English since January 2012 while article abstracts are given in Chinese in addition to English for articles involving Chinese taxa. It indicates that the editors of "Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society," and "Entomotaxonomia" agreed to swap promotional announcements for their respective journals.

Special issue on: The Response of Insects to Global Change Guest edited by: Prof. Feng Ge, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences Understanding the effects of climate change is key to conserving human valued resources. Insects are the largest class of animals on earth and will respond to effects of global change directly and via effects on their hosts. Acting together, these direct and indirect effects will affect the development, survival, reproduction and movement of insects. Moreover, climate change may affect the temporal and spatial dynamics of outbreak species and invasive species, changing the frequency of outbreaks and their spatial patterns, size and geographical range.
