A Special Issue to Celebrate Aquatic Mammals journal’s 50th Anniversary: Anecdotal Observations of Aquatic Mammals
Submission Reminder – Deadline is 30 April 2022!
This special issue in Aquatic Mammals is intended to
celebrate the insight that can be gained from rare or opportunistic observations
in the field or in a managed care setting and is dedicated to capturing these
observations for the record. We encourage contributors to set their accounts
into the literature as much as possible, to contextualize the anecdote (single
or rare observation) such that its scope, generality, and potential application
are recognized and that it might inspire new research and avenues of thought.
Our goal is to offer this special issue as a collective record so these insights
and observations may provide perspective to our research and the animals we
study.
