Atlas publication update - January 2026

This has been a frustratingly slow process. Preparing the layout of our atlas has taken longer than expected because of the need to fit a lot of text onto some pages whilst maintaining the correct pagination of the maps and species accounts. However, this is now finalised and we are currently proof-reading sections of the species accounts as they are laid out. We expect to have proofs for the whole volume (about 500 pages) by early February. Once all the corrections have been made, which will take a few weeks, I think the book will complete the rest of the publication process fairly quickly. The publishers have a proposed publication date of 8th May and some details can be found on their website  here.
