So far as ESA is concerned, _The Annual Report_ is published, duh, annually for anyone who wants to know: http://www.esa.org/aboutesa/docs/annualreport2010.pdf > > We often pay to publish.

I receive my copies of _Ecology_, _Copeia_, _Science_, _SWN_ regularly, though I have recently asked ASIH to convert my life subscription to online only to save money for the society, and am dropping _Ecology_ for the same reason. I can go to the library, or find other ways to get the papers I want. Unlike some I suppose, I am still encouraging libraries to subscribe to both print and online versions (or the databases that supply them). mcneely mcneely
