The Journal of Entomological and Acarological Research (JEAR),
formerly the Bollettino di Zoologia Agraria e di Bachicoltura of the
Institute of Entomology of the Università degli Studi, Milano, was
founded in 1928 by Remo Grandori. Minos Martelli and Luciano Süss
were in charge of the journal until December 2011. In January 2012,
the Editor came to a big decision and began to explore the possibility
of publishing a new online open access version of the JEAR. The aim
was to reach out to researchers in the field all over the world, and I was
nominated Editor in Chief.
The journal is structured in four major parts according to subject

area: Entomology, Stored Product Pests, Insect Ecology and Acarology.
These are run by highly qualified internationally recognized Section
Editors who are supported by a new Editorial Board made up of scien-
tists from all over the world. The JEAR publishes papers on systemat-
ics of geographical speciation and evolution, ecological system dynam-
ics, phenology and supervised pest control, stored product pests, med-
ical, urban and veterinary entomology, plant insect interaction and
ecosystems, biological control and agroecology, and all other subjects
related to the four subject areas.
I hope you like the new edition of the journal, and in particular those

articles submitted by our younger colleagues; the future of modern
Entomology and Acarology is in their hands.
I would also like to thank the former Editorial Board and Director,

and all the colleagues who will work with me on this interesting and
stimulating new project.

The Editor in Chief
Prof. Giuseppe Carlo Lozzia
