Dear MARMAM, I am happy to announce the publication of "Ridgway and Harrison's Handbook of Marine Mammals, Volume 2: Oceanic Dolphins" (edited by T. A. Jefferson). Academic Press.
This book is Volume 2 in the Handbook of Marine Mammals series; it focuses on dolphins, the remarkable marine mammals that live in our seas and oceans. For centuries, dolphins have fascinated humans with their intelligence and adaptability. As our understanding of marine mammals expands, there is a growing need for comprehensive references on their ecology and biology. This series, created to meet this need, provides definitive reviews of all living species of whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals, sea lions, sea cows, and marine otters and bears. This volume features chapters written by leading global experts on offshore and oceanic dolphin species. Each chapter includes detailed descriptions of the species, covering aspects such as distribution and abundance, anatomy, physiology, behavior, ecology, reproduction, parasites and diseases, and the effects of human activities on these species.
