Increasing awareness of the urgency of biodiversity conservation is certainly matched by the continued increase in manuscripts submitted to Oryx. To allow us, therefore, to continue to provide an efficient service to both authors and peer reviewers the journal now has a new online submission system, at mc.manuscriptcentral.com/oryx. All article types for submission to the journal, including Conservation News items, now need to be submitted through this site. For those requiring further advice and help on the submission process, further details are, as always, available on the journal's website at www.oryxthejournal.org or from the Editorial Office (oryx@fauna-flora.org).
