Dear All, we would like to draw your attention on the fully renewed international edition of Natural History Sciences (NHS), a very old journal established in 1859 as /Atti della Società Italiana di Scienze Naturali e del Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Milano/. NHS is an open access, peer-reviewed venue for articles dealing with various aspects of natural history. The international Advisory Board guarantees quality and thoroughness in reviewing. NHS is the official journal of the Italian Society for Natural Sciences, a scientific organization founded in 1857. NHS is indexed in Google scholar and other international platforms. As an example we recently published a paper on the sperm whale brain that you can freely download following the link in the index of the journal at http://sisn.pagepress.org/index.php/nhs/index. We hope you all will welcome the chance to enlarge the number of journals to consider for your valuable research on marine mammals and their environment.
