1 On shoulders of giants: 70 years of science for conservation published in Wildfowl EILEEN C. REES1 & ANTHONY D. FOX2 1Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust, Slimbridge, Gloucestershire GL2 7BT, UK. 2Department of Bioscience, Aarhus University, Kalø, Grenåvej 14, DK-8410 Rønde, Denmark. Abstract This 70th annual issue of the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust’s scientific journal Wildfowl, which commenced life as the First Annual Report of the Severn Wildfowl Trust in 1948, provides a timely opportunity to review and celebrate the wealth of knowledge and pioneering research published in its pages over the decades. During this time it has disseminated the results of scientific studies undertaken globally on wildfowl and their wetland habitats, providing an invaluable source of information required to understand and conserve these species. In this retrospective editorial, we therefore review the heritage and evolution of the journal, its core role within the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (publisher of the journal), major papers published through its history, and recent advances in recognition of the journal in the 21st century. Key words: heritage, impact factor, Peter Scott, publications, sound science, Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust. Seventy-two years since it first appeared, in niche as a major scientific journal, initially 1948, as the First Annual Report of the Severn specialising in wildfowl and more recently Wildfowl Trust, this 70th standard issue of the broadening its remit to include other Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust’s scientific waterbirds and their wetland habitats, journal Wildfowl provides a timely opportunity with papers submitted from across the to look back on the evolution of the journal globe. Even with the advent of new titles in and the wealth of knowledge and pioneering recent years, it is currently one of only research published within its pages over the 28 ornithological journals included in the decades. -
