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 41, issue 4, 2015) of Aquatic Mammals. The online issue is now available at this link: http://www.aquaticmammalsjournal.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=categ... Issue 41.4 is a special issue associated with the ESOMM-2014 international meeting held in September 2014, in Amsterdam. This issue is the largest ever for Aquatic Mammals at 176 pages! This special issue contains articles on topics related to the effects of sound in the ocean on marine mammals (ESOMM), especially behavioral responses of marine mammals to sonar and other underwater noise sources and noise management. We are also pleased to be able to include an Historical Perspectives article by Dr. Walter Munk. For individuals with a print subscription, the joint print copy of 41.3/41.4 will be mailed in early December. 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/ Instructions for authors and formatting guidelines can be found in the first volume of each issue and at this link: http://tinyurl.com/AMauthorinstructions To submit a manuscript for publication consideration, please visit: http://am.expressacademic.org/actions/author.php If you subscribe to Aquatic Mammals online, you can visit the journal web site and sign in to download all articles from this volume: http://www.aquaticmammalsjournal.org/ Please do not contact the listserv editors for PDFs or copies of the articles.
