Marine Turtle Newsletter 64:30, © 1994
The inaugural issue of Chelonian Conservation and Biology, the new scientific Journal of the IUCN/SSC Tortoise and Freshwater Turtle Specialist Group and International Bulletin of Chelonian Research, rolled from the presses in November, 1993. The journal is published by the Chelonian Research Foundation with support from Conservation International, The Chelonia Institute, NYZS/The Wildlife Conservation Society, Florida Audubon Society, and the Species Survival Commission of the World Conservation Union (IUCN).
Manuscripts are welcome from any individuals, and are not limited to members of the Specialist Group. Manuscripts may cover any aspects of turtle and tortoise research with an emphasis on conservation or biology. Studies on freshwater turtles and tortoises are of primary interest, but articles on marine turtles are also welcome. Manuscripts dealing with conservation biology, systematic relationships, chelonian diversity, geographic distribution, natural history, ecology, reproduction, morphology and natural variation, population status, and human exploitation or conservation management issues are of special interest. Either full-length original research articles or shorter notes and field reports are welcome. English translations of foreign language articles are potentially of interest. Newsnotes and announcements of interest to the turtle conservation and research community are also welcome. All manuscripts will be submitted for review by the Editorial Staff and selected members of the Editorial Review Board, and/or independent outside peer-review as necessary. Manuscripts should be submitted in triplicate to A. Rhodin at the address below, preferably accompanied by a computer disk in either Macintosh or IBM format.
