Arno GutlebDear Friends, Colleagues and Otter Enthusiasts!

It is autumn here at my place and outside my house the vine leaves turn yellow. Now we open the issue 40/4 in 2023 which will be the last one for this year. There is quite some variety of topics and species in the pipeline.

We observe a steady increase of submitted manuscripts covering also more topics than in the past. Therefore, we foresee some changes in the review process to increase reliability of data and further improve the quality of manuscripts which is in the interest of us as scientists but also in the interest of the journal. Finally, this also serves the species we are interested in.

Lesley is of invaluable help, and I do not know how to do it without her. Originally starting from being the technical webmaster, she is now also doing all the work in respect to language editing and the final quality control in the form of checking references etc. There are always some small or big things that slip through reviews and proofprints.

Lesley, thank you so much for all your time, efforts, and knowledge you invest in order to make this journal an increasing success.

Arno
