Whalewatcher Journal Killer Whale Issue
Dear Marmam subscribers,
The American Cetacean Society is proud to announce the full-color
special killer whale issue of our ACS Whalewatcher journal (2011,
Volume 40, No. 1). This issue is completely dedicated to killer
whales. It is a thorough summary of the history of modern killer whale
research, descriptions of the most significant findings unearthed
along the way, and recent updates on what is currently known about
killer whales. Richly illustrated with some never-before published
photos, this issue also introduces two new common names for killer
whale ecotypes for the first time.
All of us at ACS are extremely grateful for Robert Pitman, who
graciously accepted our invitation to serve as our guest editor. We
also like to thank all authors, photographers, and illustrators who
have contributed to this magnificent publication.
