Dear Friends, Colleagues and Otter Enthusiasts!
We just have closed issue 31/2 and open with this editorial 2015 and issue 32/1. You can expect the first papers for the new issue soon on the homepage and more are in the pipeline already under review so keep following the development on our website.
I do not have a complete idea about the timeline for the Proceedings from last years International Otter Colloquium in Rio de Janeiro. Come back regularly on the website to see about any new developments. The idea is that whenever articles are reviewed and the proof prints have been approved by the authors they go online in the order they arrive allowing quick responding authors to have the papers published very close to the submission date and solely dependent on their own efforts.
Please feel free to send me photos of otters as we are in need of good pictures for the title pages of future issues! Your help is greatly appreciated.
There has been a change behind the scenes about which many of you may not have even been aware of, but Lesley had to reduce her work as webmaster due to the demand of a very large and intensive project her employer recently received. She will keep the existing website going, but a new webmaster has been appointed, with special responsibility for redesigning the website in a more modern way. We will introduce the new webmaster in the next issue but I am sure everybody agrees that Lesley deserves many flowers and a huge thankyou for having developed the OSG website to what it is today.
Meanwhile there are is good news and the good news is that Lesley decided to continue to support me with the IUCN OSG Bulletin in the future. Lesley was really doing an incredible job with the Bulletin and I would have felt alone without her support in the future. We have, after many years, very good routines in handling this work and all goes so smoothly. Lesley, as in the last sentence of all my editorials - thanks for all your continuing support and I do hope that I will be able to thank you for many issues in the future too!
