Arno GutlebDear Friends, Colleagues and Otter Enthusiasts!

It has become a habit that we open the 2nd issue of the year sometime in April and this year is no exception, as we are opening issue 40/2 of this year. So now it is up to you to come back and see whether my promise that we have interesting manuscripts in the pipeline is true.

Those of you that are regular visitors to the site may have also observed that Lesley recently put updated versions of three literature compilations provided by Victor Camp online. I am very thankful for this very useful service and appreciate the work that Victor puts into these special issues.

I want to thank Gerard Schmidt and Claudio Chéhébar for their translations of the abstracts into French and Spanish. However, I want to mention that they often also spot inconsistencies and have helped to improve manuscripts in the last moments. Again we have several manuscripts with additional abstract translations and I want to encourage authors to provide me the abstract in your local language as I know this may be important for politicians but also for outreach to local communities.

I want to express my personal gratitude to Lesley who is correcting language issues, makes sure that references in the text and the list of references are complete. I know how much time Lesley puts into this service for our community. Lesley, thank you so much to make this journal an increasing success.

Arno
