ESA's President (Kris French) and Executive Officer (Gail Spina) provide comprehensive reports on ESA Council activities and strategies for the coming few months.

In this quarter's "Labs in the Limelight" section, we feature an article by award-winning mammal ecologist, Euan Ritchie, on inter-trophic interactions between native and alien mammals and other taxa across tropical and arid Australian ecosystems.
