Ian Scott: The President's Address 2014-15
Dear Colleagues, At the beginning of a fresh, new year I am glad to report that the ESO is equally revitalized, in part due to a number of successes in 2014. Last year saw positive news for JESO submissions, more outreach events and new venues for the annual meeting, all of which I hope will continue in 2015. For many years the society’s journal (JESO, among many other previous names) was considered one of the top entomological publications and was contributed to by systematists, economic ento-mologists and naturalists alike. Over the last 10 or more years the publication field has grown immense and unfortunately for JESO, the competition meant declining interest in a journal without an impact factor and online presence. This was reme-died in the past several years with online access to JESO through the publisher or ESO website and the re-releasing of electronic versions of articles from the past 140 years. Even though publications were up by the end of the year (thanks John), JESO may not regain the level of submissions it once had in the “heyday” of the society, but it will hopefully be able to hold its own as the “flagship” of the society. On another positive note, the “new look” newsletter has also blossomed with thanks to co-editors, Amanda and Trevor. Colourful insect photos and topical articles of interest make for entertaining reading (as you will see in this issue). . . . .

However, I would be remiss if I did not give special thanks to outgoing President Skevington, the ESO Board, the outstanding ground zero team at Guelph and the members who did such an exceptional job organising the symposia. We will soon be announcing information about the date and venue for the 2014 meeting. . . . . Read More |
