*Two upcoming Special Issues on Individual Identification and Photographic Techniques* For enquires, e-mail: ID.Spec.Issue@gmail.com Two peer-reviewed Special Issues are currently in preparation for the journals *Mammalian Biology* (*MamBio*, 5-Year Impact Factor: 1.9) and *Journal of* *Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology* (*JEMBE*, 5-Year Impact Factor: 2.3) *- MamBio:* Individual Identification in Mammalian Ecological and Behavioural Research *- JEMBE:* Applications of Photographic Techniques in Studies of Marine Vertebrates *The topic:* Individual identification and photographic techniques have been widely used in marine mammal studies for many years. More recently, they have been adopted in studies of a wide range of animal taxa, both marine and terrestrial, from variety of mammals to reptiles, sea birds, elasmobranchs, etc. Similarly, dedicated computer software and image processing applications have been growing in their data management capabilities and analytical power. It is safe to say that even though photographic individual identification is well established as a research tool, the application of photographic techniques continues to broaden and increasingly more researchers include such techniques in their field studies. A compendium of research articles describing current research developments, representative case studies, conservation management implications, and likely future applications in studies of marine and terrestrial mammals (MamBio) and marine vertebrates (JEMBE) will be both timely and a good source of reference for future research. We welcome contributions in a form of original research articles, technical notes on methodological and/or analytical application(s), short concept notes, or review articles (for review articles, please consult their suitability first). *Timeline:* - *MamBio:* Submissions due by Feb/Mar 2020; publication in the 3rd or 4th issue of 2020 - *JEMBE:* Submissions due by Sep/Oct 2020; publication in the 2nd issue of 2021 All submissions will be handled by the MamBio and JEMBE online system. Dedicated submission portal for MamBio will be open for manuscript submission in early-2020, and for JEMBE in mid-2020. Accepted papers will be published online within couple of weeks following their acceptance. There will be no publication costs; and the whole Special Issue of *Mammalian Biology* will be available for free download as Open Access for 1 month following the publication, with no costs to the authors.
