Our December 2023 issue will be the last we produce in print; thereafter, <em>Frontiers<\/em> will transition to online-only publication.<\/p>\n<p>For more than twenty years, <em>Frontiers<\/em> has grown and evolved, reflecting the ever-changing landscapes in both ecology and scholarly publication. Change can be hard, and we empathize, especially with those who value the tactile experience of perusing the print edition of a journal. However, we also want to assure our readers and authors that this decision was not made lightly. During and after the transition, please be aware that<em> Frontiers<\/em>\u2019 gestalt will not change; <em>Frontiers<\/em>\u2019 staff will remain steadfastly committed to curating and delivering cutting-edge, accessible, applied science; and <em>Frontiers<\/em>\u2019 electronic content will be available \u2013 without interruption \u2013 to ESA members and institutional subscribers.<\/p>\n<p>We will continue to publish ten monthly issues per year and four different types of peer-reviewed papers, as well as editorials, occasional commentaries, and our popular EcoPics natural history series. You will see a few modifications to graphics and journal content starting with the February 2024 issue. Notably, \u00a0we will bid a fond farewell to the monthly Life Lines back-end column. We owe its author and creator, Adrian Burton, a deep debt of gratitude to his well-earned 20 years of service to <em>Frontiers<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>As we transition to online-only publication, we encourage you to enroll for regular email alerts of <em>Frontiers<\/em>\u2019 latest articles and issues; the sign-up can be accessed here, along the right-hand margin of the page: <a href=\"https:\/\/esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/journal\/15409309\">https:\/\/esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/journal\/15409309<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We appreciate your understanding regarding these changes as well as your ongoing support of ESA and the Society\u2019s portfolio of publications, including <em>Frontiers<\/em>.
