14/01/08 From 2008, papers are grouped into issues based on if they are about insects or other animals.  As a result, institutions can now subscribe to entomological issues or non-entomological issues.  A library for marine biology, for example, can now have a standing order to issues on animals excluding insects and thus save nearly 50%.  See more information here.

01/01/08 January 1, 2008 marks the 250th anniversary of the official publication date of Systema Naturae (Linnaeus 1758) and the beginning of zoological taxonomy. An editorial introduces an exemplar paper by Pyle et al. (2008: 3-31) who described five new species of damselfish (Chromis) from deep coral reefs in the tropical western Pacific. This is the first taxonomic paper integrating many of the most recent cybertaxonomic tools with species descriptions and demonstrating the utility of international standards for biodiversity informatics.
