PUBLICATION ANNOUNCEMENT

Contributions to Chironomid Research
in Memory of Dr. Friedrich Reiss

The special commemorative production previously announced on this website has been published in SPIXIANA 23 (2000), issues 2 and 3.
To all colleagues involved in various parts of this production: thank you very much again! You have made this a great tribute to the man we have had to say farewell to.

The contents are almost exclusively scientific rather than personal, but we believe Dr. Reiss would have preferred it this way. He would have enjoyed applying the papers in practical work, and so, we hope, will the readers.

Although the authors had to add this to all their other work under tight time constraints, the editors received more contributions than could be fit within one regular SPIXIANA, even though issue 23/2 was enlarged from the normal 96 to 128 pages. Some papers thus had to be delayed until issue 23/3 published in early November 2000.

The following listing gives authors' names and abbreviated titles of the scientific papers:
