Dear Friends and Colleagues!

It has been quite a while since we had a second issue, and for the last three years we did not have enough material to open a second edition. I hope that the fact of a second issue shows that you appreciate the new form of the electronic version and that finally this has been accepted within the “otter world”. As you have seen we had a few abstracts in local languages in two articles of issue 25/1. While this will not be a regular service I am ready to include such abstracts if provided as PDFs where it seems appropriate!

While Lesley and I do our best to get your manuscripts reviewed and published as soon as possible this cannot be done if not a number of reviewers did assist us. Thanks a lot to Hermann Ansorge, Michael Belanger, Mia Bisther, Sim Broekhuizen, Paul Chanin, Will Duckworth, Daniel Gallant, Petra Hajkova, Syed Hussain, Anna Loy, Wayne Melquist, Annette Olsson, Paul Polechla, Hiroshi Sasaki, Heike Weber, and Grace Yoxon who performed reviews during the last months.

I am completely dependant on the help of people that provide the French and Spanish abstracts of all articles and I want to express my sincere thanks to Pablo García Díaz, Nicole Duplaix, Frédéric Giraud, Rachel Kuhn, Gerard Schmidt, and Daniel Scognamillo who translated abstracts during the last months.

Thanks to Sim Broekhuizen, Pablo Garcia Diaz, Andreas Kranz, Roland Melisch, Juan Pablo Gallo Reynoso, and Marcelo Rheingantz, who sent us PDFs of their article for the members-only library! We appreciate also the references that were sent to us either physically or as a link to the webpage improving the usefulness of the website.

The IUCN Otter Specialist Group Bulletin is has meanwhile been indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals and you can find your articles at:

Looking forward to receiving your manuscripts for issue 25/2.

With regards,

Arno
