All, I've just been visiting the site of Zootaxa (a journal that specialises in bringing taxonomic papers to press in a speedy manner). This is the page for Reptilia:
http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/taxa/Reptilia.htmla I notice that Aaron Bauer has just been appointed the editor for any gecko papers published by Zootaxa. That has to be good news!
