Message posted for Dr. JA Thomas, please forgive cross postings.

After 11 years, I am stepping-down as the Managing Editor of Aquatic Mammals.  I thank all colleagues who have served as a reviewer for the journal or contributed a manuscript.  I leave the journal in the very capable hands of Dr. Kathleen Dudzinski, who has been the Co-editor for the last five years.  Dr. Justin Gregg will assume the Co-editor position.  
 
In conjunction with John Anderson of Terramar Productions, the new Editorial team will grow Aquatic Mammals into a multi-media journal.  Please see the journal's website http://www.aquaticmammalsjournal.org for exciting details about the new feature of real-time publishing, online publishing, ADA compatible publishing, Historical Perspective essays and DVDs, and the upcoming Special Issue on Sonars and Cetacean Strandings.
 
Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year.
