We regret that production of issues 88/6 and 89/1 of Journal of Ecology
was delayed by problems encountered during the changeover to our new
typesetter. We are hoping that issue 89/2 will be published by the end of
the Easter break and expect subsequent issues to be on schedule (the start
of their cover month).
