Christmas is just around the corner, so it’s time to open the last door of our advent calendar. We hope you enjoyed this year’s wrap up. 2021 was a demanding year, but quite successful for our group, so we still have a lot to celebrate!

We wish all our readers relaxing winter holidays, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We look forward to be back in 2022 with exciting research, amusing fieldwork and interesting news, starting with a new topic in our blog, the Group of the Month. We hope to satisfy your curiosity by presenting a cool animal group every month, starting already in January. See you next year!
