From the Editors
Last year, 2010, was an especially productive year for The Victorian Naturalist. More than 280
pages were published, comprising 39 substantive papers: 13 Research Reports, 21 Contributions,
andfiveNaturalistNotes.Withtheadvent2011,wehopethatthecontentofTheVictorianNatural-
istwillcontinueinsimilarvein, in termsofbothquantityandquality.
A significantelement in theeventual size ofavolume isthe numberofspecial issueswithin the
volume. In 2010 there were two issues that focused on particular themes. The highlight was the
final issue, which was compiled in memory ofan outstanding contributor to the field ofmarine
invertebrates. This was alandmarkissue, particularlyas papers on marine invertebratesare rela-

The production of a themed issue brings particular editorial challenges and demands but, at
thesametime,particularpleasures. Although long-term planningofthejournal’scontentusually
doesnotextendmorethanafewissuesahead,itisanticipatedthatatleastonespecial issuewillbe

posium,thetitleofwhich was‘Melbourne’sbiodiversity- pastandpresent’.
