Dear Colleagues (apologies for cross postings)
We are pleased to announce that the /Latin American Journal of Aquatic
Mammals/ (/LAJAM/) will publish a *Special Issue on the Biology and
Conservation of the Giant Otter *(/Pteronura brasiliensis/) by the end
of 2012.
/LAJAM/ is published twice a year by SOLAMAC (Sociedad Latinoamericana
de Especialistas en Mamíferos Acuáticos/Sociedade Latino-Americana de
Especialistas en Mamíferos Aquáticos) and SOMEMMA (Sociedad Mexicana
de Mastozoología Marina/Mexican Society for Marine Mammalogy).
/LAJAM/ publishes articles concerning research, management and
conservation biology of aquatic mammals in Latin America. Articles on
theory or techniques broadly applicable to the study of aquatic
mammals are also considered. For this Special Issue we encourage
submissions dealing with the distribution, population status, biology
and ecology of the giant otter, as well as dealing with human-otter
conflicts, population genetics, ex-situ conservation, sampling
methods, etc.
/LAJAM/ publishes five types of contributed manuscripts: Articles,
Notes, Reviews, Comments and Short Communications. Manuscripts must be
written in English. All submitted manuscripts will be reviewed by at
least two anonymous referees for scientific content.
Guest Editors of the special issue are Jessica Groenendijk (Peru),
