{B010} Avian Ecology and Behaviour/ Proceedings of the Biological Station Rybachy is a new journal covering all aspects of avian ecology and behavior, published by the Biological Station Rybachy of the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences. The editors are Casimir Bolshakov and Vladimir Payevsky. The first volume was published in 1998 and contains 8 papers plus a banding report, all listed below and all in English. Two volumes per year are planned. Price is US$15 per issue. To order the journal or submit manuscripts, contact the Biological Station Rybachy, Rybachy, Kaliningrad Region, 238535, Russia (Rybachy@bioryb.koenig.su). {ROL #78}

{B030} Colonial Waterbirds will become Waterbirds, starting with volume 22, expanding its focus from colonial seabirds and wading birds to all waterbird subgroups, including ducks, shorebirds, and solitary seabirds. Emphasis will be on papers that illuminate general principles of waterbird biology across subgroups, major advances concerning individual subgroups, or comparisons of subgroups. The journal will also focus on rare or little known species. Papers may be on ecology, physiology, behavior, population dynamics, evolution, management, or conservation, with a preference for papers of interest to a wider spectrum of the waterbird community.
