Dear Colleagues
The journal
Endangered Species Research has become a major venue for publication of marine mammal literature. Our opening ISI Impact Factor was 1.3 last year. I expect this will rise quickly now, with a value of 1.5-2.0 for this year.
We have recently hosted a special issue of 20 papers on the
Effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on protected marine species
http://www.int-res.com/abstracts/esr/v33/
and have another one underway on
21st century paradigms for measuring and managing the effects of anthropogenic ocean noise
In total, 19 and 26 quality papers on marine mammals were published in each of 2015 and 2016, respectively. These are
listed below. All articles are open access and links are embedded. I would, therefore, be grateful
if you could cascade this list through your networks to maximise the dividends of all this excellent work. If you would like a word doc of the definitive list of marine mammal papers with links then drop me a line. I fear the links will not transmit through
the listserver.
One of the areas we would like to expand is our coverage of
synthetic reviews, with several underway. Very happy to discuss possibilities with those who could potential lead such efforts.
