Dear colleagues, the short chapter below, published today, is an overview of how cetaceans relate to death. Bearzi G., Eddy L., Piwetz S., Reggente M.A.L., Cozzi B. 2017. Cetacean behavior toward the dead and dying. Encyclopedia of Animal Cognition and Behavior (J. Vonk and T.K. Shackelford, eds.). Springer International Publishing. DOI 1007/978-3-319-47829-6_2023-1. <https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007/978-3-319-47829-6_202 3-1> In case you have trouble accessing the file online, please send me a request and I shall send you a pdf copy of our work. I would welcome any comment and suggestion. Please note that the encyclopedia allowed a maximum of 30 references, which is why so many good articles have not been cited. Sincerely, Giovanni Bearzi - - - - - - - Giovanni Bearzi, PhD President, Dolphin Biology and Conservation <http://www.dolphinbiology.org/>
