In his first editorial for Adaptive Behavior, Peter Todd remarked that, as an adaptive system in itself, the journal was open to new opportunities including that of "expanding its reach as the premier journal of interdisciplinary research on modeling organisms, agents, and artifacts acting in their environments." Time has shown him to be right. The past few years have seen a increased maturity in content, style, and impact as well as a bolder exploration of formats and topics, the cause of which reveals not only the resilience and adaptive power of the journal and its community, but very often Peter's own active interventions, open and friendly working style, and vision, building on the foundations established by our first editor, Jean-Arcady Meyer. New traditions can only be started by rebels. My hope is to follow the tradition they started.
