Dear MARMAM and ECS Talk subscribers, Apologies to those of you who will receive duplicate emails due to cross-posting. The following titles represent the contents of the most recent issue (Volume 44, issue 6, 2018) of Aquatic Mammals. This is a special issue - A Festschrift in Honor of Bernd Würsig - and is the largest issue in the journal’s history. Because of special funding received for this issue, all the articles are available as open access. I encourage you to check out the articles in this special issue. For individuals with a print subscription, the double print copy of 44.5/44.6 will be mailed in late November. Aquatic Mammals is the longest running peer-reviewed journal dedicated to research on aquatic mammals and is published quarterly with manuscripts available as published PDFs in real time. Further information about the journal can be found at: http://www.aquaticmammalsjournal.org/ <http://www.aquaticmammalsjournal.org/> To submit a manuscript for publication consideration, please visit: http://am.expressacademic.org/actions/author.php <http://am.expressacademic.org/actions/author.php> Thank you for your continued interest in the journal and abstract postings.
