Hello everybody…the rumors are true. The indefatigable Jaboury Ghazoul has stepped down as Editor-in-Chief of Biotropica, and I will be trying to fill his shoes starting August 1, 2013. Our journal is recognized for publishing some of the most innovative and important research in tropical biology and conservation, and this is no small part due to the efforts of Jaboury and the EICs that preceded him.
