On behalf of the Editors and Special Editors of Animal Behavior & Cognition, Greetings! We are excited to announce a special issue of Animal Behavior & Cognition devoted to papers that explore new models and methods for addressing communication and social cognition in dolphins. These papers are based, in part, on a workshop on this topic, organized by Denise Herzing and Christine Johnson, at the 21st Biennial Marine Mammal Society Conference in San Francisco last December.
