Anyone studying aquatic or semi-aquatic mammals, please see the query from my colleague Clay Nielsen (kez...@siu.edu) below.

Thanks! ?All: I may edit a special issue for the Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education about aquatic/semi-aquatic mammals. Before I pitch this idea more widely, I'd like to see who is potentially interested in submitting a paper (please see info about the journal below). If you may be interested, please let me know. Great opportunity to get out some human dimensions/policy type stuff along with ecology/conservation. For example, I intend to submit a short paper that covers our population modeling efforts for river otters in Illinois, USA. Thanks for considering, Clay Nielsen Clayton K. Nielsen, PhD, Certified Wildlife Biologist Professor of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Assistant Chair and Director of Graduate Studies, Department of Forestry Cooperative Wildlife Research Laboratory Center for Ecology Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, IL 62901-6504 kez...@siu.edu; 618-453-6930 http://www.wildlife.siu.edu/faculty-staff/index.html About the journal/issue: The Universities Council on Water Resources is a multi-disciplinary association of primarily North American universities dedicated to the advancement of research, education and service in water resources. Its principal publication, the Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education (formerly Water Resources Update), is a peer-reviewed journal (but not indexed widely nor with an index factor) published both on paper and in electronic form on Wiley-Blackwell's Synergy website (www.blackwellsynergy.com<http://www.blackwellsynergy.com/>) where they can be downloaded by researchers, educators, and policy-makers around the world. Articles published in JCWRE are widely recognized for their concise clarity and relevance to critical water resources issues and principles. We would like to see the proposed issue on "Aquatic and Semi-aquatic Wildlife" contain papers on science, policy, and human dimensions topics. If the science papers could blend in some policy and management implications, that would be great. We are looking at a November 2015 publication date for this issue, so would like to see a proposed Table of Contents by April 1 and we would want all draft papers submitted by July 1. ?
