Announcing: ESR THEME SECTION: Tracking Vertebrates for Conservation

Dear Colleagues

 

Please note that the special theme section of Endangered Species Research has recently been published. The section, spanning two issues included 22 original articles and reviews of interest to many in this group. A full list of these is included below and all articles are available online and open access. http://www.int-res.com/abstracts/esr/v4/n1-2/

 

Details of additional Theme Sections being built for publication in 2008 can be found at http://www.int-res.com/journals/esr/esr-specials/ These include:

 

·  Fisheries Bycatch: Problems and Solutions

·  Bats: Status, Threats and Conservation Successes

·  Incorporating Climate Change Into Endangered Species Conservation

·  Forensic Methods in Conservation Research

·  Range-wide Status and Conservation of the Goliath Grouper

·  The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Assessing Its Utility and Value

 

An additional Tracking Section is also now being compiled.
