IUCN/SCC Otter Specialist Group Bulletin Volume 11 Pages 1 - 57 (April 1995) Note from the Editor The 11th issue of the IUCN Otter Specialist Group Bulletin is now in your hands. I hope that this issue will fullfill the expectations. Thanks to all whose comments are used for further changes in the Bulletin. Some of you send me information on their last publications which makes the compilation of the list on recent publications much easier. I encourage everyone to send information on publications and suggestions for further improvements. Please send articles and reports on diskettes whenever possible as otherwise articles have to be retyped by myself. In the last issue a leaflet was enclosed in order to see who is still interested in the Bulletin. Most of them were sent to me and some of you enclosed a contribution to the costs for publishing this journal. Thanks to all who did so. Unfortunately not all cheques from overseas could be used due to very high bank charges. Despite this fact the amount sent to me covers the mailing cost for a complete issue which is a very big help in producing the Bulletin. As not all on the mailing list requested further issues with the leaflet I decided to send copies of this issue to all who published articles on otters in the last years and were not receiving the Bulletin yet. I hope that this will lead to a wider distribution of our Bulletin. For the next issue I plan to split the publications in two sections. Articles will be fully reviewed by at least two reviewers. Reports will be published without a review system as we had it the last years. Authors are requested to indicate in which section their article should be included. I hope that this system will improve the quality and acceptance of our Bulletin. In the last months I got a lot of requests on copies of older issues of the IUCN Otter Specialist Group Bulletin. I decided to provide copies as a service to all readers. They will be sold for the costs of copying and postage. The amount has to be send in advance. Please contact me if you are interested in previous issues. Photos for the front cover are welcome and will be send back on request. Name of authors will be mentioned on page 1. The production of this issue is sponsored by Serotherapeutisches Institut Wien. Furthermore the first two advertisements (Knesebeck Verlag, München; Oxford University Press, Oxford) in the history of the Bulletin are enclosed. I would like to thank Hans Kruuk, Christoph Schenk and elke Staib for their initiatives. |
