Recent results from BESIII

The BESIII experiment is using e+ e- annihilation in the tau-charm region to study various topics in hadron physics, from the spectroscopy of light and charmonium hadrons, studies on rare and symmetry violating decays to open-charm physics. An overview over a selection of recent BESIII contributions to the field of hadron physics is given, highlighted by the recent observation of a near threshold enhancement in the recoil mass of the K+ in the process e+ e- --> K+ (Ds- D*0 + Ds*- D0)  as a possible Zcs candidate.
