[MARMAM] Alliance EAAM cosponsor Aquatic Mammals
At the invitation of the European Association for Aquatic Mammals (EAAM), the Board of the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums has agreed that the Alliance will become a co-sponsor of Aquatic Mammals, the oldest international scientific, peer-reviewed marine mammal journal. It has been supported by the EAAM since 1972. Aquatic Mammals accepts a wide variety of papers on the care, conservation, medicine, and science of marine mammals. The number of papers submitted for review has risen dramatically in recent years, and, in response, the journal increased its annual issues from three to four in 2005.

[MARMAM] Aquatic Mammals Journal Goes Green
Please post the following notice to MARMAM Members. Thank you. Kathleen Dudzinski, Co-Editor Aquatic Mammals Journal *** AQUATIC MAMMALS ³GOES GREEN² New Real-time, Online Journal with Print On-demand Option Aquatic Mammals is sincerely concerned about the use of consumables such as paper, ink, and mailing envelopes. The journal¹s Editors, Editorial Board, and sponsors the European Association of Aquatic Mammals, the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums, and the International Marine Animal Trainer¹s Association want to minimize the impact of journal publications on the environment. As a result, we have made several changes over the last 5 years. In 2004, Aquatic Mammals committed to printing the journal on paper made with 30% Post Consumer Recycled content, while retaining a high standard for print quality. In 2005, the journal made manuscripts available as .pdf text online format through Ingenta and ProQuest. In 2009, the journal made progress toward this goal by adopting an electronic manuscript management system, Manuscript Fast Track, which allows authors, reviewers, and editors to exchange articles via a paperless, online method. On 1 January 2010, all published materials by Aquatic Mammals (articles, manuscripts, correspondence, reviews, renewal notices, etc.) will be published and/or distributed entirely electronically. As a result, Aquatic Mammals will no longer appear in hard copy format. Aquatic Mammals will become a ³real-time² online journal through Ingenta and ProQuest. Once an article has been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication, it will be immediately formatted by Document Publication Services. After review by the editors and authors, a final .pdf of the article will be made available to the authors for distribution. No more waiting for months for an accepted article to be available for distribution!!! Articles will have a volume, issue, DOI, and page numbers so they are immediately citable. As soon as an entire issue is available, all articles will be placed online through Ingenta and ProQuest ON-DEMAND PRINT OPTION The Editors of Aquatic Mammals realize that in some circumstances hard copies of an article or a whole issue might be needed. As a result, Document Publication Services has an ³On-Demand² hard copy option. One or multiple hard copies of a single article or a whole issue can be printed for the author(s)¹ specific needs. In addition, CDs can be produced at the author(s)¹ request. This option provides flexibility to the authors and saves needless printing and storage of issues. These small changes will not reverse global warming or staunch the relentless depletion of natural resources; however, the Editors and Editorial Board of Aquatic Mammals support environmentally responsible activities and want the journal to play its part in conservation.

[MARMAM] Second Call for Planned Special Issue of Technological Advances to Study Aquatic Mammals in Aquatic Mammals journal
In December 2023, Aquatic Mammals journal posted the first call for manuscripts for a special issue on Technological Advances used to Study Aquatic Mammals This email represents a reminder/second call for manuscripts. This Special Issue in Aquatic Mammals reflects Technological Advances used to Study Aquatic Mammals. Submission Deadline is 30 June 2024! This special issue in Aquatic Mammals is intended to present a collection of papers on recent technological advances in the study or care of aquatic mammals. Technological advances and innovative use of those methods continue to evolve to unprecedented levels allowing for us to glean more about the behavior, physiology, and ecology of marine mammals. There are many innovative ways to study marine mammals including (but not limited to) artificial intelligence (AI), satellite imagery, unmanned systems (e.g., drones, gliders), genomics, tagging, biologging, and passive acoustic monitoring. The methods are as diverse and interesting as the animals that are studied. Special Issue Logistics Submissions – content We encourage contributors to submit short notes and/or research articles with data from use of a drone, glider, or other novel or updated technology to advance the understanding of aquatic mammals. Space will be available for supplemental video files or PDFs on the journal’s website, if applicable. Be sure to provide these materials during manuscript review process. Video files should be sent to the journal using either wetransfer.com <http://wetransfer.com/> or a DropBox link. (Contact the managing editor with questions about video format.)

[MARMAM] New publication on energy flow in aquatic and terrestrial mammals
Dear colleagues, On behalf of my co-authors, I am happy to announce the publication of our new paper in Physiological Reports Title: Allometric scaling of metabolic rate and cardiorespiratory variables in aquatic and terrestrial mammals Authors: Rebecca S. He, Stacy De Ruiter, Tristan Westover, Jason A. Somarelli, Ashley M. Blawas, Divya L. Dayanidhi, Ana Singh, Benjamin Steves, Samantha Driesinga, Lewis G. Halsey, Andreas Fahlman Journal: Physiological Reports Full view access to the article can be found here: https://physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.14814/phy2.15698 Abstract: While basal metabolic rate (BMR) scales proportionally with body mass (Mb), it remains unclear whether the relationship differs between mammals from aquatic and terrestrial habitats. We hypothesized that differences in BMR allometry would be reflected in similar differences in scaling of O2 delivery pathways through the cardiorespiratory system. We performed a comparative analysis of BMR across 63 mammalian species (20 aquatic, 43 terrestrial) with a Mb range from 10 kg to 5318 kg. Our results revealed elevated BMRs in small (>10 kg and <100 kg) aquatic mammals compared to small terrestrial mammals. The results demonstrated that minute ventilation, that is, tidal volume (VT)·breathing frequency (fR), as well as cardiac output, that is, stroke volume·heart rate, do not differ between the two habitats. We found that the “aquatic breathing strategy”, characterized by higher VT and lower fR resulting in a more effective gas exchange, and by elevated blood hemoglobin concentrations resulting in a higher volume of O2 for the same volume of blood, supported elevated metabolic requirements in aquatic mammals. The results from this study provide a possible explanation of how differences in gas exchange may serve energy demands in aquatic versus terrestrial mammals. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Andreas ___ MARMAM mailing list MARMAM@lists.uvic.ca https://lists.uvic.ca/mailman/listinfo/marmam

[MARMAM] New publication: Conservation of Amazonian aquatic mammals
Dear All, We are pleased to share our new publication in the journal Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems titled "Conservation of Amazonian aquatic mammals" by Sannie Brum, Patrícia Rosas‐Ribeiro, Rodrigo de Souza Amaral, Diogo Alexandre de Souza, Leandro Castello and Vera Maria Ferreira da Silva. Abstract: 1. Aquatic mammals worldwide are highly threatened in freshwater ecosystems where they are affected by direct human activities (e.g. hunting) as well as indirect human alteration of freshwater ecosystems (e.g. dams, mining activity). Although aquatic mammals of the Amazon Basin are experiencing many growing threats, little is known about the escalating impacts on them, current limitations in protection mechanisms, and possible strategies to ensure their conservation. This study synthesizes the available information on Amazonian aquatic mammals, including the ecological characteristics of these species, key threats, population status and conservation prospects. 2. Amazonian aquatic mammals comprise seven species – *Inia geoffrensis* , *Inia boliviensis*, *Inia araguaiaensis*, *Sotalia fluviatilis*, *Trichechus inunguis*, *Pteronura brasiliensis* and *Lontra longicaudis* – which are characterized by low reproductive rates and keystone ecosystem roles. These species are endangered mainly by biological resource use, natural ecosystem modifications, energy production and mining, and climate change. Although information is sparse, there is evidence that these threats are inducing population declines of *Inia* spp., and hindering the recovery of populations of *P. brasiliensis*. 3. Protection mechanisms for these species mostly include national and international laws and agreements, legislation governing environmental licensing and protected areas. Each of these protection mechanisms, however, has limited capacity to protect Amazonian aquatic mammals, largely because they are poorly enforced, lack transnational coordination or require population trend data that do not exist. 4. Reversing the current state of affairs for Amazonian aquatic mammals requires an integrated research and policy approach that, at a minimum, substantially increases the present capacity to monitor their population responses to human impacts, establishes effective enforcement of existing legislation and prevents further impacts from hydropower development. To implement such an approach, information on the ecology of these species is necessary to create public and scientific awareness.

[MARMAM] Reminder: deadlines for submissions to a Special Issue in Aquatic Mammals journal
Dear Colleagues, For Aquatic Mammals journal, I share a reminder related to a call for submissions for the planned special issue in Aquatic Mammals. The details for this special issue are below. A Special Issue to Celebrate Aquatic Mammals journal’s 50th Anniversary Anecdotal Observations of Aquatic Mammals (see details about the issue at the bottom of this email.) We encourage contributors to write their observation(s) into a short narrative that will be reviewed by experts in the field so that well-supported, relevant anecdotes will be published. A recommended length ranges from 2,500-5,000 words, not including references. If available, photographs can be included as figures. Space will be available for supplemental video files (edited to final format for review, contact the managing editor with questions about video format). Examples include new and rare behaviors, especially those documented photographically (or with video) at the time of the observation. First or only sightings of a species in a never-before-documented location is another example. Deadlines 30 April 2022 – deadline to submit a manuscript for peer-review consideration 1 May – 30 June 2022 – review process of all submitted manuscripts (Note - manuscripts submitted earlier will be reviewed and processed as received.) 1 July 2022 – date by which all review decisions delivered to contributors (if not sooner) 1 July – 15 Aug. 2022 – contributors revise manuscripts and return to journal for copyediting 15 Aug – 31 Oct. 2022 – review galleys as available, confirm final versions, page fees paid (See the journal website for details on page fees, or contact the managing editor.) Planned Publication Issue/Date Issue 48.6: The special issue is planned for the 6th issue of volume 48 in Aquatic Mammals, that publishes on 15 November 2022. Costs Typical page fees will apply for publication in Aquatic Mammals. These fees are described on the journal’s web site (page fee description <https://www.aquaticmammalsjournal.org/index.php?option=com_content=article=60=120>). In brief, page fees are charged based on the number of galley pages, not word document pages. Contact the managing editor with questions. To Submit a Manuscript, visit out Manuscript Fast track web site at: http://am.expressacademic.org/actions/author.php <http://am.expressacademic.org/actions/author.php> Special Issue Explanatory Details: In 1972, Aquatic Mammals journal began publishing mostly narrative accounts related to the care, nutrition, transport, and housing of aquatic mammals, with a focus on dolphins and pinnipeds. Over the years, as our understanding and knowledge of aquatic mammals increased, contributions shifted to focus on topics and samples that could be assessed quantitatively. It is understood that scientific studies (research generally) are based on a foundation of reproduceable methodologies with multiple observations and data points assessed statistically. Now, 50 years later, we are pleased to announce a planned special issue of Aquatic Mammals that acknowledges how the journal began and welcomes the insight to be gained from rare observations of individuals in both in- and ex-situ settings. Most marine mammals are cryptic, difficult to observe, and often require large costs and time to compile samples that allow for a rigorous assessment. Even in the 2020s, for many species, a simple dated geographic location or single observation of behavior provides invaluable insight and direction for research. Unforeseen and unique behaviors (actions and interactions) may offer unexpected insight into the nature and society of a cryptic species. Rare behaviors (e.g., tool use, infanticide) or unusual circumstances allow the observer a more refined view of an individual, small group, or species–yet these observations are usually not available for distribution through the peer-review platform. The current scientific, peer-review literature does not typically encourage publication of ‘anecdotal’ observations. As such, these insights, if not archived in some manner, may be lost from the collective record. 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.

[MARMAM] Call for submissions for a Special Issue in Aquatic Mammals Journal
Dear Colleagues, For Aquatic Mammals journal, I share with you the following call for submissions: A Special Issue to Celebrate Aquatic Mammals journal’s 50th Anniversary Anecdotal Observations of Aquatic Mammals In 1972, Aquatic Mammals journal began publishing mostly narrative accounts related to the care, nutrition, transport, and housing of aquatic mammals, with a focus on dolphins and pinnipeds. Over the years, as our understanding and knowledge of aquatic mammals increased, contributions shifted to focus on topics and samples that could be assessed quantitatively. It is understood that scientific studies (research generally) are based on a foundation of reproduceable methodologies with multiple observations and data points assessed statistically. Now, 50 years later, we are pleased to announce a planned special issue of Aquatic Mammals that acknowledges how the journal began and welcomes the insight to be gained from rare observations of individuals in both in- and ex-situ settings. Most marine mammals are cryptic, difficult to observe, and often require large costs and time to compile samples that allow for a rigorous assessment. Even in the 2020s, for many species, a simple dated geographic location or single observation of behavior provides invaluable insight and direction for research. Unforeseen and unique behaviors (actions and interactions) may offer unexpected insight into the nature and society of a cryptic species. Rare behaviors (e.g., tool use, infanticide) or unusual circumstances allow the observer a more refined view of an individual, small group, or species–yet these observations are usually not available for distribution through the peer-review platform. The current scientific, peer-review literature does not typically encourage publication of ‘anecdotal’ observations. As such, these insights, if not archived in some manner, may be lost from the collective record. 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. Logistics Submissions - content We encourage contributors to write their observation(s) into a short narrative that will be reviewed by experts in the field so that well-supported, relevant anecdotes will be published. A recommended length ranges from 2,500-5,000 words, not including references. If available, photographs can be included as figures. Space will be available for supplemental video files (edited to final format for review, contact the managing editor with questions about video format). Examples include new and rare behaviors, especially those documented photographically (or with video) at the time of the observation. First or only sightings of a species in a never-before-documented location is another example. Deadlines 30 April 2022 – deadline to submit a manuscript for peer-review consideration 1 May – 30 June 2022 – review process of all submitted manuscripts 1 July 2022 – date by which all review decisions delivered to contributors 1 July – 15 Aug. 2022 – contributors revise manuscripts and return to journal for copyediting 15 Aug – 31 Oct. 2022 – review galleys as available, confirm final versions, page fees paid (See the journal website for details on page fees, or contact the managing editor.) Planned Publication Issue/Date Issue 48.6: The special issue is planned for the 6th issue of volume 48 in Aquatic Mammals, that publishes on 15 November 2022. Costs Typical page fees will apply for publication in Aquatic Mammals. These fees are described on the journal’s web site (page fee description <https://www.aquaticmammalsjournal.org/index.php?option=com_content=article=60=120>). In brief, page fees are charged based on the number of galley pages, not word document pages. Contact the managing editor with questions.

[MARMAM] Special Issue for the 20 years of LAJAM
Dear MARMAM community, On behalf of the Editorial board of the Latin American Journal of Aquatic Mammals (LAJAM), led by our Editor-in-Chief Dr. Miriam Marmontiel and our Managing Editor Dr. Daniel González-Socoloske, I would like to announce the publication of a Special Issue for the 20th anniversary of the Journal. As many of you may already know, LAJAM is an open access peer-reviewed scientific electronic journal that publishes articles on research, management and conservation biology of aquatic mammals in Latin America. To celebrate our 20-year milestone, a new special issue of the journal was conceived with the idea of publishing a series of review papers focusing on major topics related to the aquatic mammals of Latin America. A call for proposals was sent to aquatic mammal scientists that work in the area. We received over 30 proposals, which were carefully reviewed and the authors of 15 of these proposals were invited to submit reviews. The Editor-in-Chief along with four associate editors (Nataly Castelblanco-Martinez, Daniel Gonzalez-Socoloske, Carolina Loch, and Aldo S. Pacheco) were selected as guest editors for this special issue. In the end, 10 review articles passed the peer-review process, and these are: Huesca-Domínguez, I., Morteo, E., Hernández-Candelario, I., Delfín-Alfonso, C. A., Abarca-Arenas, L.

Further information about the journal can be found at: http://www.aquaticmammalsjournal.org/ <http://www.aquaticmammalsjournal.org/> In other journal news: 1) At the end of July, we will resume shipping the print copies of Aquatic Mammals to print subscribers; issues 1 thru 4 will be sent in one packet to each print subscriber. 2) We have one Historical Perspectives essay in issue 46.4 and will have one in 46.5. Given these challenging times, we have decided to make all HP essays (from Vic Scheffer’s first essay through current and forward) available for free download to any interested reader.

[MARMAM] New Feature in Aquatic Mammals-Historical Perspectives-written articles and DVD interviews of key marine mammalogists
To celebrate 35 years of publication and to acknowledge the contributions of key contributors to the field of marine mammal science, *Aquatic Mammals *has a new feature called *Historical Perspectives. * This feature includes written histories and companion high-definition video interviews of key people in marine mammal science. The work is funded by the Marine Mammal Commission and the video interviews and editing are performed by John Anderson of Terramar Productions. The feature kick-off was an outstanding article and video-interview by Dr. Victor Scheffer, written on his 100th birthday!!! In 2008 (vol 34 issue 4), Drs. Sam Ridgway and William E. Evans provided written histories and video interviews related to research and veterinary care of dolphins in the US Navy. The first issue for 2009 (35.1) features a written history by Ian Boyd highlighting his research and Robert Hofman on the Legacy of the Marine Mammal Commission. Also in 2009, Historical Perspective articles will be published by Bob Gisiner on the history of marine mammal studies by the Office of Naval Research, by William Perrin on the history of the conflicts between the tuna purse seine fishery and dolphin by-catch, and by Gerald Kooyman on a history of marine mammal studies in Antarctica. Dudok Van Heel will publish an article on the history of the EAAM. Interviews have been conducted or are scheduled to be conducted this year with several key marine mammalogists Karen Pryor, Ken Balcomb, Bruce Mate, Randy Wells, John Reynolds, Dan Odell, Roger Gentry, Ronald Schusterman, Whitlow Au, Paul Nachtigall, Louis Herman, Bill Tavolga, and Bernd Wursig. Their written articles will follow in the journal. Copies of the DVDs and articles (as a .pdf or hard copy) are available at the Aquatic Mammals website. Please see the URL below.

[MARMAM] Special Issues Planned for 2018 in Aquatic Mammals journal
Aquatic Mammals Journal is pleased to announce that we will be publishing two special issues on Animal Welfare in 2018. Welfare is a term routinely used in the media, whether print, televised or social. It can be applied to humans or animals or both. It can be misconstrued or deconstructed. The term is neutral and can refer to a positive or negative situation for one or more individuals. Part A, the first special issue, will present articles that establish what is meant by “Animal Welfare” and where animal welfare can be assessed. Invited articles will discuss and present the science and ethics of animal welfare, focusing on human impacts on animals in the wild as well as animals residing in managed care. Assessing animal welfare is becoming a common concern for several communities, including zoos and aquariums, regulatory agencies, tourism and travel agencies, research scientists, independent agencies and assessors, and more. A discussion of assessment tools and approaches will be included. These special issues are not intended as a forum to discuss whether one setting is better than another. The intent is to focus on animal welfare and to offer perspectives on that topic from all angles, as much as is possible. Part A is scheduled for publication on April 15, 2018. The second special issue on Animal Welfare, Part B, is open for submissions from colleagues to submit a manuscript for consideration. These submitted papers should focus on animal welfare as related to aquatic mammals specifically. While research papers presenting data on the topic would be preferred, discussion topics on the same will also be welcome. Authors are reminded that this issue (like the previous one) is not intended to be a forum for pontificating that one location/setting is better or worse than any other for welfare. The tentatively scheduled publication date for Part B of this special issue set is August 15, 2018. The following timeline is a suggestion for contributing authors to follow. 20 January 2018: Deadline for receipt of all articles to Aquatic Mammals Journal’s Fast Track system (see signature below for link) 31 May 2018: Receipt of revisions of accepted manuscripts 15 August 2018: Tentative ONLINE publication Please note that all articles in both special issues will be published online only and will be available as open access PDFs. These special issues of Aquatic Mammals will be published between the regular issues of the journal. Typical page fees will apply to submitted articles, unless financial sponsorship is secured. This special issue is Guest Edited by: Dr. Heather Hill, Psychology, St. Mary’s University; Dr. Kelly Jaakkola, Research, Dolphin Research Center; and Dr. Rachel Walker, Psychology, University of the Incarnate Word. We look forward to receiving articles from you for Part B of this special issue on Animal Welfare. Let us know if you have any questions. Sincerely, Kathleen, Kelly, Heather, & Rachel Kathleen M.

[MARMAM] Invitation to submit to special issue of Aquatic Mammals on Monk Seals
Dear Marmamers During the 18th Biennial Conference of the Society for Marine Mammalogy in Quebec/Canada, 12-16 October 2009, a workshop was held focusing on the study and conservation of the critically endangered Monk seals. The workshop, entitled Research, Management, Conservation and Policy in Monk seal recovery: A global Perspective provided an excellent opportunity for monk seal researchers and conservationists from around the world to meet and discuss latest advances and achievements in the field. Overall, more than 15 presentations and posters were made, being evidence of the growing efforts to understand and protect these endangered species. Moving in the direction of promoting monk seal recovery through the widest possible dissemination of information and in cooperation with the peer-reviewed, scientific journal Aquatic Mammals, we are launching an effort to prepare a special issue of the journal dedicated to all species of monk seals. We would therefore like to invite monk seal researchers and conservation practitioners interested in contributing to this issue to contact us, no later than April 30, 2010. Prospective authors would then have six months time to prepare a manuscript and submit to Aquatic Mammals, indicating that the manuscript is for consideration in the special issue on monk seals, for peer-review by October 30, 2010. According to a tentative time plan, the special issue would be published early in 2011 - publishing procedures would follow the general guidelines of the journal. In order to speed the process, authors interested in submitting an article related to either the Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) or the Caribbean monk seal (Monachus tropicalis) should contact Dr. Alexandros A. Karamanlidis (akaramanli...@gmail.com); authors interested in submitting an article related to the Hawaiian monk seal (Monachus schauinslandi) should contact David Schofield (david.schofi...@noaa.gov). We look forward to hearing from you! On behalf of the organizers: Dr. Alexandros A.

[MARMAM] Checklist of marine mammal parasites in New Zealand and Australian waters
Dear colleagues, My co-authors and I are pleased to share the publication of our checklist in Journal of Helminthology: Lehnert, K., Poulin, R., & Presswell, B. (n.d.). Checklist of marine mammal parasites in New Zealand and Australian waters. Journal of Helminthology, 1-28. doi:10.1017/S0022149X19000361 Abstract: Marine mammals are long-lived top predators with vagile lifestyles, which often inhabit remote environments. This is especially relevant in the oceanic waters around New Zealand and Australia where cetaceans and pinnipeds are considered as vulnerable and often endangered due to anthropogenic impacts on their habitat. Parasitism is ubiquitous in wildlife, and prevalence of parasitic infections as well as emerging diseases can be valuable bioindicators of the ecology and health of marine mammals. Collecting information about parasite diversity in marine mammals will provide a crucial baseline for assessing their impact on host and ecosystem ecology. New studies on marine mammals in New Zealand and Australian waters have recently added to our knowledge of parasite prevalence, life cycles and taxonomic relationships in the Australasian region, and justify a first host–parasite checklist encompassing all available data. The present checklist comprises 36 species of marine mammals, and 114 species of parasites (helminths, arthropods and protozoans). Mammal species occurring in New Zealand and Australian waters but not included in the checklist represent gaps in our knowledge. The checklist thus serves both as a guide for what information is lacking, as well as a practical resource for scientists working on the ecology and conservation of marine mammals. A PDF copy can be obtained from the authors on request!

[MARMAM] New publication: Aquatic mammal fossils in Latin America – a review of records, advances and challenges in research in the last 30 years
My co-authors and I are pleased to announce our publication in the Latin American Journal of Aquatic Mammals 20th Anniversary Special Edition *Aquatic mammal fossils in Latin America – a review of records, advances and challenges in research in the last 30 years* Mariana Viglino, Ana M. Valenzuela-Toro, Aldo Benites-Palomino, Atzcalli Ehécatl Hernández-Cisneros, Carolina S. Gutstein, Gabriel Aguirre-Fernández, Jorge Vélez-Juarbe, Mario A. Cozzuol, Mónica R. Buono, and Carolina Loch LAJAM Vol. 18 No. 1, January 2023 DOI: https://doi.org/10.5597/lajam00295 *Abstract* Records of aquatic mammal fossils (e.g. cetaceans, pinnipeds, sirenians, mustelids, and desmostylians) from Latin America (Mexico to Tierra del Fuego) span since the mid-1800s. Aquatic mammal fossils received little attention from the scientific community, with most of the first studies conducted by Northern Hemisphere researchers. Over the last 30 years, paleontological research in Latin America has increased considerably, with descriptions of several new species and revisions of published original records. The Latin American fossil record spans from the Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene, with formations and specimens of global significance. All three main groups of cetaceans are represented in the continent (Archaeoceti, Mysticeti, and Odontoceti). Pinnipedia are represented by the families Otariidae, and Phocidae, with records starting in the middle Miocene. Both living families of Sirenia (Trichechidae and Dugongidae) are recorded. While less common, but still relevant, records of desmostylians and mustelids are known from Oligocene and Miocene deposits. This review provides a summary of the aquatic mammals known to date, with a special focus on the advances and developments of the last 30 years, since Cozzuol’s (1996) review of the South American fossil record. An up-to-date complete list of species based on the literature and unpublished data is also provided. The study also provides future directions for paleontological research in Latin America, and discusses the challenges and opportunities in the field, including the emergence of a strong new generation of Latin American researchers, many of whom are women.

[MARMAM] New paper: Contributions of bioacoustics to the scientific knowledge of marine mammals in Latin America
Dear Marmamers, My co-authors and I are pleased to share the recent publication of our paper "Contributions of bioacoustics to the scientific knowledge of marine mammals in Latin America" in Latin American Journal of Aquatic Mammals. doi: https://doi.org/10.5597/%20lajam00302 Chávez-Andrade, M., de la Cueva, H., Luévano-Esparza, J., & Lavín Murcio, P. A. (2023). Contributions of bioacoustics to the scientific knowledge of marine mammals in Latin America. Latin American Journal of Aquatic Mammals, 18(1), 96-113. https://doi.org/10.5597/lajam00302 ABSTRACT We review and document scientific publications on marine mammal bioacoustics in Latin America between 1971 and 2021, showing early scarcity and an increase through time. Marine bioacoustic studies how marine fauna produce and receive sounds that facilitate their life functions. Bioacoustics explores the biology and ecology of marine mammals, difficult or impossible to carry out using only traditional visual methods. From the first published study on the free-living common bottlenose dolphin in the Gulf of Mexico in 1953, acoustic studies on marine mammals have increased; most of its growth occurred in the 2000s. The objective of this study was to document the history and development of marine mammal bioacoustics in Latin America. We conducted a systematic search of scientific peer-reviewed literature on the Web of Science from 1971 to 2021, using keywords involving 18 acoustic and 16 marine mammal terms. We reported the countries where studies were carried out, the focal species, and the research topics. The oldest paper found was published in Chile in 1971. The 2010s yielded the most publications (n= 10), compared to the 1970s (n = 4), 1980s (n = 8), 1990s (n = 12), and the 2000s (n = 49). The publication rate increase between 1971 and 2021 is likely due to the increased development and use of affordable autonomous recording devices. The countries with most publications were Brazil (n = 60), Mexico (n = 46), and Ecuador (n = 29). Those with the least studies were in the Caribbean region. The most studied species were the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) (n = 46), the sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) (n = 43), and the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) (n = 40). These species are highly vocal, widely distributed, and accessible inseveral habitats, facilitating their study. The most analyzed research topics were inter- and intraspecific differences invocalizations (n = 104), acoustic signal descriptions (n = 74), and association of acoustic signals and behavior (n = 59). Theuse of bioacoustics in abundance, distribution, habitat use, and anthropogenic effects was scant in the list of publicationsreviewed for this study, but these topics are predicted to be pursued more often by researchers in the future as they areneeded to establish mitigation policies for the species and their habitat conservation.

Dear MARMAM and ECS Talk Subscribers, For 50 years, Aquatic Mammals has published articles on all topics related to aquatic animals. In celebration of our 50th Anniversary, we are pleased to offer a special issue that acknowledges how the journal began and welcomes the insight to be gained from rare observations of individuals in both in- and ex-situ settings. This Special Issue of Anecdotes 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. Contributors have set their accounts into the literature as much as possible and contextualized their anecdote(s) such that its scope, generality, and potential application are recognized. Our goal has been 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. We hope you enjoy reading them as much as we have during the review process. Thus, I am pleased to announce that Issue 48.6, A Special Issue of Anecdotes, is now available online from the journal’s website: https://www.aquaticmammalsjournal.org/ This special issue is GIGANTIC!

[MARMAM] New publication: Quantifying minimum survey effort to reliably detect Amazonian manatees using an unoccupied aerial vehicle (UAV) at an ex situ soft-release site
Dear Colleagues, My coauthors and I are excited to share our recent, open-access publication in the Latin American Journal of Aquatic Mammals Special Issue on the Biology and Conservation of Manatees. Our paper explores the factors affecting the probability of detecting an Amazonian manatee using an occupied aerial vehicle, or drone, at an ex situ study site, where the number of manatees present is controlled. It also estimates the minimum survey effort, including the number of repeat surveys and the time-to-detection, required to reliably detect manatees present at the study site and under the observed conditions. Based on the results, we suggest various ways UAVs can be used to study Amazonian manatees, both independently and in conjunction with existing methods and other technologies.

[MARMAM] New publication: Unusual Behaviour of Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) Mothers and Calves
Dear MARMAM subscribers, I am pleased to write this email to let you know about my last publication "Unusual Behaviour of Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) Mothers and Calves" in the most recent issue (Volume 47, issue 4, 2021) of Aquatic Mammals Journal. It is a short note describing unusual behaviours displayed by humpback whales mothers and calves on the Brazilian breeding ground, involving separation between mothers and calves and also a first description, as far as we know, of a postmortem attentive behaviour in which the calf was the attender towards an adult whale. For those who are interested in the article, it is possible to find it online through the link: Nicoli Eiras, Samira Costa-Silva, Thais H. M. Melo, Luciana Ver?ssimo, and Milton C. C. Marcondes.

[MARMAM] New paper on Northernmost Habitat Range of Guadalupe Fur Seals in the Gulf of California.
Dear MARMAN colleagues, On behalf of my co-authors, we are pleased to announce our recent short-note in Aquatic Mammals Journal about ¨Northernmost Habitat Range of Guadalupe Fur Seals (Arctocephalus townsendi) in the Gulf of California, México¨. Citation: Gálvez, C., Pérez-Puig, H. and F. R. Elorriaga-Verplancken. (2022). Northernmost Habitat Range of Guadalupe Fur Seals (Arctocephalus townsendi) in the Gulf of California, México.

We highlight the relevance of increase research efforts in this area to determine their potential colonization, which is relevant due to haul-out site is located in a region where important anthropogenic activities (e.g, fishing) are performed, representing a potential risk forindividuals welfare and survival during their post-breeding migration period along the Gulf of California.

[MARMAM] New publication: From Monitoring to Final Disposition: Collaborative Response to the First Live Sperm Whale (Physeter macrocephalus) Stranding in Alabama, USA
Hello all, We are pleased to share our recently published article titled "From Monitoring to Final Disposition: Collaborative Response to the First Live Sperm Whale (*Physeter macrocephalus*) Stranding in Alabama, USA", which is now published in the journal Aquatic Mammals. Bloodgood, J.C.G., M.L. Russell, C. D. Clark, E.E. Hieb, D. P. Mooe, T.R. Madgrigal, S. Carmichael, and R. H. Carmichael. From Monitoring to Final Disposition: Collaborative Response to the First Live Sperm Whale (Physeter macrocephalus) Stranding in Alabama, USA. Aquatic Mammals, 48(6), 485-494, DOI 10.1578/AM.48.6.2022.485. Summary: This paper details the Alabama Marine Mammal Stranding Network's response, from initial report to final disposition, for the first documented live sperm whale stranding in Alabama. The animal stranded out of habitat inside Mobile Bay. We highlight the challenges and successful aspects of the response, including multi-day live-animal monitoring, in-water sedation and euthanasia, transport, field necropsy, personnel safety, and the importance of interagency collaboration throughout the process. For the sedation and euthanasia phase of response, we provide detailed doses and times of drug delivery, animal response, and time to death. Our findings will benefit other stranding networks by informing best practices for coordinating large whale stranding response, particularly in areas where these strandings are rare and resources may be limited. It is available open access here: https://doi.org/10.1578/AM.48.6.2022.485 Many thanks, Mackenzie Russell Mackenzie Russell, MS Alabama Marine Mammal Stranding Network Stranding Coordinator Dauphin Island Sea Lab mruss...@disl.org ___ MARMAM mailing list MARMAM@lists.uvic.ca https://lists.uvic.ca/mailman/listinfo/marmam
[MARMAM] new article - blue whale and behavioral response to boat
My coauthors and I are pleased to announce publication of: Smultea, M.A., F.C. Robertson, and D. Fertl. 2022. Blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) mother-calf pair behavioral response to vessel in the Southern California Bight. Aquatic Mammals 48(6):690-692. Systematic focal observations of endangered blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) mother-calf behavior are rare, with little known about potential disturbance reactions to vessels. During systematic line-transect aerial surveys flown to collect data on marine mammal density and behavior in the Southern California Bight, the opportunity arose to interrupt the survey to circle and video-document a blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) mother and calf‘s behavioral response to an approaching recreational vessel. Results indicated short-term initial curiosity (approach) by the calf to vessel presence followed by behavioral disturbance in response to the vessel’s sudden change in speed manifested by the calf suddenly moving away then returning to previous close proximity to the mother. https://www.aquaticmammalsjournal.org/index.php?option=com_content=article=2262:blue-whale-balaenoptera-musculus-mother-calf-pair-behavioral-response-to-vessel-in-the-southern-california-bight=210=326 Supplemental material at: https://www.aquaticmammalsjournal.org/images/Smultea_etal_Supplemental-file.pdf This is an OPEN ACCESS article; a special thanks to Zoomarine Algarve (Portugal) for sponsoring this special issue of Aquatic Mammals.
