These minutes are published in the society's newsletter in the fall following the meeting. An archive of the Newsletters can be found on the newsletter's webpage. Minutes from past meetings are posted below sequentially back to 1998. A complete archive of the ISBE Newsletter can be found here.

Reports from the Editor-in-Chief, Behavioral Ecology
Following the Society's biennial meetings, it has become a tradition that the Editor-in-Chief (or previously the most senior editor) prepares a report on the state of our journal Behavioral Ecology. This report is published in the fall edition of the Newsletter following the meeting. Typically, these reports highlight current trends in the journal, as well as future directions the journal will take. In recent years, with the institution of a formal Editor-in-Chief (EIC) position, the full report is prepared by the outgoing EIC as the final act of office, and the newly appointed incoming EIC prepares a short piece that details the plans to be instituted in the next two year period. These reports can be found in the Society's newsletter, and the reports from 2000-2006 are also listed here in descending order.

Donated Subscription Program
Please help colleagues in need by donating a subscription to Behavioral Ecology to someone in a developing nation. Every donation will help increase scientific contacts across the world. Donations can be either full or partial coverage for one or several subscriptions. In a time when nationalism is again raising its ugly head, this is more important than ever. For details, see the advertisement on the last page of the Volume 13(1) Newsletter, or in the May/June 2001 issue of Behavioral Ecology.
