Hydrobiologia - Celebrating the special issue ‘A Homage to Henri J.F. Dumont, a Life in Science!, former editor in chief of Hydrobiologia for 23 years.

Here we are celebrating the publication of the special issue: A Homage to Henri J.F. Dumont, a Life in Science! (this opens in a new tab) published in Hydrobiologia volume 850 issue 21 (this opens in a new tab), dedicated to Prof. Henri Dumont (this opens in a new tab) who became editor in chief of Hydrobiologia in 1980 until Prof. Koen Martens took over this position in 2003. From left to right: EiC of Hydrobiologia Koen Martens, former EiC Henri Dumont, and Associate Publisher Judith Terpos.

The preface (also available here (this opens in a new tab)) describes Henri’s research activities and his vision for Hydrobiologia, as well as the topics of the articles written by his previous students, past and present colleagues and/or long-time friends and admirers. From left to right: EiC of Hydrobiologia Koen Martens, former EiC Henri Dumont, and Simonne Wellekens, partner of Henri and former editorial assistant of Hydrobiologia.

The cover photo depicts the damselfly, Coenagrion puella (Linneaus, 1758), in copula and was taken by Patrick Dumont, the son of Henri in June 2018, in the Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen, an urban Nature Reserve, Ghent, Belgium.
