January 2019 - November and December 2018

Welcome to the first newsletter of 2019! You may notice that the seasonal title of the newsletter has disappeared. Both Rob Plowes and Szabolcs Sáfián have independently pointed out the inappropriateness of say “Late Summer” in an e-magazine that covers the entire Afrotropical (sub-Saharan) region. From now on, the newsletter will be titled by a month (January, March, May, July, September or November), dealing with news from the preceding two months. Refer to the back-page for links to all previous editions, or visit the LepSoc Africa website www.lepsocafrica.org.
