This was to appear quarterly and include, in addition to research papers, the abstracts of contemporary odonatological literature published elsewhere. With the present issue, the 42nd volume is completed: the 168 issues contain about 1400 research papers and over 19,800 abstracts of works published through- out the world since 1971. The editing and the intensive daily contacts with the odonatological community became my life style, bringing much pleasure and many personal friendships. It was not easy, and with much sorrow and regret, that I had to decide to resign from the office upon the completion of the current volume: the advancing age is being increas- ingly felt and my health condition is not optimal any more. I trust the world odonatological community will share my feelings of thanks to Dr Florian WEIHRAUCH (Jägerstrasse 21/A, D-85283 Wolnzach, Germany; 1 [email protected]) for his acceptance of the responsibilities for the journal, its administration, production, editorship and circulation as from the 43rd volume onwards. With his profound experience in worldwide scientific communica- tion and odonatological editorship, he is perfectly qualified to navigate the journal on the waves of contemporary scientific requirements and standards and to guide it to an increasingly high scientific level. Since the birth of ODONATOLOGICA, two people have been crucial for its de- velopment: without the support and much more than the manifold help from the late Professor Dr Janny M. van BRINK (Utrecht/Bilthoven, The Netherlands) and my wife, MARIANNE, it would have been unthinkable to continue in the office for so long. For some decades, Marianne has been the backbone of the SIO and ODO- NATOLOGICA, taking care of all the technical matters and much more. Likewise, since the very first issue until today, the editorial help rendered by Dr Peter J. MILL (Leeds, UK) has been indispensable. There is hardly an issue in the production of which he has not been involved, either as a peer reviewer, style model- 286 B. Kiauta ler or a language corrector. Kiyoshi INOUE’s (Osaka, Japan) and Professor Dr Minter J. WESTFALL’s (Gainesville/FL, USA) manifold help and continuous encouragement during the four decades were among the cor- nerstones of much of my work. In recent years, my son, Adjunct Professor Dr George KIAUTA- -THUCYDIDES (Vancouver, Cana- da) opened new horizon by managing the website and the electronic edition of the journal. For this I thank him 1 very sincerely. At its very onset, ODONATO- LOGICA enjoyed the active support and assistance of well over a hundred odonatologists from all parts of the world. From among those deceased, at least a few peer reviewers, collab- orators of the Odonatological Ab- stracts section and/or helpers in other editorial matters should be recalled 2 here, viz.

My warm thanks go to the dozens of external peer reviewers and to the past and present members of the Ed- 4 itorial Board, as listed on p. 2 of the cover of each issue. Some of these are currently the sole (or almost so) liv- ing experts in certain narrow fields of odonatology; hence their help remains indispensable. A journal is made by the contrib- uting authors and it is to them I owe profound thanks for the high standard and the impact ODONATOLOGI- 5 CA enjoys, the latter despite its nar- Figs 4-5.
