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 lead by one or more of ESR Editorial Staff, sometimes including Guest Editors. We welcome additional suggestions for Specials, contact ESR Editor in Chief, Dr. Brendan Godley. The ESR Specials currently underway are listed below.
