Who subscribes to this? I may be interested in getting the journals. How does everyone like them? They seem interesting. How much does a yearly subscription cost? Thanks

If you meen the journal Gekkota edited by Herbert Rösler, i think its still being published. At the moment four issues has been published.

Each issue is two years apart.

I don't think you can subscribe to them though, but they are normally available through www.chimaira.de

As far as I know, GGA still publishes Gekko twice a year. At least they were last year.
I bought the last issue (Vol. 4, No. 2) not so long ago.
I don't know, if they published anything this year yet (Vol. 5, No.1)?

Dactylus from IGS (International Gecko Society) on the other hand, died with Vol. 3, No. 3, dated August 1998.
Actually looking through the last issue right now, there's a bunch of Aussie gecko articles in there, also a nice photo of Carphodactylus laevis and there's a photo of me with Robin Russell (IGS president) and two Aussie herepetologists, from my 1998 trip to Queensland. :) It was a great trip.

Gekkota? Let me check that out.
I've got the first issue only. It seems all the summaries are in English, everything else is in German.

I hope this helps.

Hello

That depends on the articles in the Gekkota. The main part is in German with english summaries, but there are a few english articles in.

Quite the opposite actually - it is alive and kicking. Their newsletter (Chit Chat) comes out four times per subscritption cycle, while the journal (Gekko comes out twice per cycle. I have been subscribing since the beginning and have received the first two newsletters for the volume 5 cycle. They are preparing the first issue of the volume 5 cycle of the journal.

The newsletter and the journal are both first rate in my opinion.

The journal GEKKO published by the GGA ( global gecko association )
............."gekkota dot com".......
.........is still going. Latest issue Vol5 #1. (9th issue)

I would say that issue release has been slower of late, hopefully not a bad sign.
Quality of articles and photographs are excellent.

Support them if you can, order the back issues available.


The journal DACTYLUS published by the IGS (international gecko society)
Was the forerunner in gecko journals, sadly now long since dead.
Lasted for 11 issues.



To those that have gone before and those that are going now, I thank you for your efforts.
