Congratulations to Robert Reisz!

The latest volume of the journal 'Comptes Rendus Palevol' is a tribute to Robert Reisz. The volume contains 11 papers written by former and current students, postdocs, and collaborators. Three new species are named after him in this volume.

A quote from the issue:

"This special issue is intended as a small token of appreciation for our colleague, mentor, and friend, Robert R. Reisz. It represents but a cross-section of his pervasive influence on our academic discipline, as he has published on virtually all major groups of vertebrates, from dipnoans to mammals. His fieldwork on several continents has resulted in the recovery of numerous important specimens. He has mentored students at all collegiate levels, and has become a great promoter of science to the general public. So, we predict this volume will stand as a signpost, rather than a monument, in a remarkable career that continues to move vertebrate paleontology forward." -Laurin et al., 2013
