Thanks for the correction.
Entomological Society of American electronic reprints differ from APS
electronic reprints in three respects: (1) the authors pay a fee (75% the
price of 100 paper reprints), (2) ESA makes them freely available on its
server, and (3) ESA allows authors to post them anywhere, including e-print
servers.
ESA hopes, in the near future, to post its e-reprints on PubMed Central and
to get major literature indexing services to link directly to them.
