Arno GutlebDear Friends, Colleagues and Otter Enthusiasts!

I hope that those of you who live in the northern hemisphere can enjoy some vacation with family and friends in the nature. I have seen that some of my friends in the south have snow. Wherever you are – I hope that we all can do some small steps to contribute to maintain biodiversity.

We open now the issue 40/3 in 2023 and in fact even issue 40/4 is already full. Lots of interesting stuff in the pipeline. We will see whether this will be the first year with a fifth issue but most likely will manuscripts that are just under review rather make it into issue 41/1 in early 2024.

Having more issues also means that more persons receive requests for reviews and the number of translations is also increasing. So, all in all the whole system has more work.

More issues and manuscripts also mean that Lesley has more work. She is correcting language issues that made it through reviews and proofprints and as always crosschecks the references in the text and the list of references. Lesley, thank you so much for all your time and efforts and heart blood to make this journal an increasing success.

Arno
