Population Dynamics, Movements, and Foraging Ecology of Polar Cetaceans

Dear Colleagues,

An increased anthropogenic activity and a changing climate are causing unprecedented changes to the polar regions. Understanding the population dynamics, distribution, abundance, and life history characteristics of polar cetaceans has never been more vital. This Special Issue aims to publish the latest research findings on polar cetaceans in order to facilitate the rapid dissemination of information on their conservation and management. We encourage the submission of high-quality papers utilizing state-of-the-art methods that directly address the aspects mentioned above.
