Biologging Technologies: New Tools for Conservation

Building upon the upon the resounding success of Tracking Vertebrates for Conservation this ESR THEME SECTION will examine the tracking of marine vertebrates in relationship to their oceanic environment and conservation. The TS will feature fully peer-reviewed papers presented as part of the Biologging III (Monterey Auguest 2008) which showcased how the state of the art in biologging technologies were being used to unlock the ecology, physiology and conservation biology of a range of vertebrate species. The firm deadline for submissions for this section will be March 31 2009 and articles will be published online incrementally and, as for all current ESR articles, we are pleased to make the online version of this ESR THEME SECTION available with Open Access.

 

To discuss the suitability of a manuscript for inclusion in this ESR Special, please contact Dr. Brendan Godley, ESR Editor-in-Chief or Guest Editors representing Biologging IIII, Prof Barbara Block, Prof Stephen Bograd and Prof Dan Costa.
