Dear MoFA members, dear friends of malacology!
The compilation of issue 10 of our scientific journal ARIANTA is proceeding. In order to present the first prepared articles ahead of the publication of the definitive issue, we have placed “Early View” formats on our webpage for the first time. The intention behind this is to reduce the waiting time for authors and to offer readers the possibility of early information on current content. When the entire ARIANTA 10 is published, page numbers will be added to the articles for a proper citation. In line with our objectives, we would like to present our content as up-to-date as possible. We would be pleased if you share the link with others!
