ESR Specials

ESR Specials are integrated multiauthor syntheses initiated and coordinated by acknowledged experts. They highlight cutting-edge research areas or problems and/or bring together cogent bodies of literature on key taxa. Typically they are Theme Sections led by one or more of ESR Editorial Staff, sometimes including Guest Editors. We welcome additional suggestions for Theme Sections; contact ESR Editor in Chief, Dr. Brendan Godley. The Theme Sections currently published or underway are listed below.
