The Encyclopedia of Marine Mammals, Third Edition, features revisions of comprehensive coverage in previous editions on such topics as taxonomy, systematics, evolution, anatomy/morphology, behavioral and physiological ecology, and more, as well as new content on topics of anthropogenic concern and modern information on the results of emerging threats, such as ocean noise (including intensive navy, industrial and other sources), impacts of climate change and cutting-edge research and results on various aspects of evolutionary biology. The latter includes new systematics information, with several re-considerations of taxonomy.
With contributions from, and edited by, world experts, this new edition is a critical resource for those in marine biology, from upper level undergraduate students attempting to get into a particular research topic, to more established graduate students, researchers and professionals.
The book also functions as a useful reference, with more information on specific topics for those from related fields, such as ecologists, evolutionary biologists and environmental scientists.
