Dear Friends, Colleagues and Otter Enthusiasts!
So finally, we start the year 2021 with the opening of the first issue of this year. I do hope that all of you are safe and healthy, and that we will see an improvement of the situation thanks to the vaccinations starting. We all have experienced travel restrictions and I can only imagine how this must have affected those working in the field.
This is the first issue in 2021 and it is with great pleasure that I can announce that in fact we have material for 3 issues already waiting to go online. Lesley has made great efforts to reduce the backlog that we had accumulated, and we hope to reach in a few months the point that we have no backlog at all. From that moment on articles will go online the very moment they are accepted and the proofprint was seen and approved by the authors.
Again I want to use the opportunity and express my special thanks to my always supportive translators Gerard Schmidt and Claudio Chehebar for their very fast work with the increasing number of translations of the abstracts into French and Spanish. Thank you for often spotting final inconsistencies in the articles too. Merci! Gracias!
My sincere thanks go to Lesley for all the private efforts and hours spend with getting manuscripts online and the extra work to double-check the manuscripts for typos and the one always missing reference.
