Merry Christmas

Dear MoFA members, dear friends of malacology,

we look back on a very successful year 2024, with the publication of the MoFA-journal Arianta 11, with online contributions on snails in the garden, a series of Ö1 broadcasts on the mollusc fauna at Bisamberg and the Alte Schanzen and a MoFA excursion to Bisamberg.

Before the publication is after the publication: We are asking for submissions of manuscripts for Arianta 12. If you have interesting observations, investigations, reports on molluscs that you would like to publish with us, please send your manuscript (as a Word text file) including figures and tables to team@molluskenforschung.at by February 28, 2025. Please note the guidelines for authors when submitting your manuscript.
