New website of the Selevinia journal
Dear Colleagues! The new site of the Selevinia journal has just started working: https://selevinia.kz. The website is trilingual (Russian, Kazakh, English), made in an adaptive layout (which means that it will look equally good on a computer monitor, tablet and smartphone), very nice.
The site has free access to all issues of the journal (section “Archive of Issues”), there is an Editor's Blog, which opens with a welcome speech by A.F. Kovshar, an index of authors with a list of their publications in the journal, as well as a selection of ornithological publications on birds of Kazakhstan and Central Asia (section “Other publications”).
We congratulate the editors and readers of the journal on this achievement and ask you to spread this information among your colleagues.

The sections “Anniversaries” and “Losses of Science” publish biographical information about zoologists who have devoted their lives to studying the animals of the region. The section “History of Zoology”, which is close to them in direction, covers the details of the development of zoology in our region — both during the last century and in earlier periods, up to the 18th century. The “Chronicles” section provides readers with information about past scientific and environmental forums, the most interesting scientific expeditions and other important events in science.
