Special Request
The new Insect Systematics and Diversity (ISD) journal from the Entomological Society of America is interested in learning how to best accommodate new systematics, evolution, and biodiversity data types and figures (formats, file types, etc). The short survey at the following link highlights some of the most important questions from the journal as it moves forward. Any response that you can provide is extremely valuable to the ISD journal. Thank you.
Take the survey
