A multidisciplinary reference on marine mammal biology and conservation

Edited by Peter G. H. Evans, this substantial volume organizes marine mammal study around the ecological and conservation questions that shape the field. Its chapters move from life-history strategies, reproduction, habitats, sensory systems, and behaviour to practical methods for population assessment, acoustic research, taxonomy, and population genetics. Health is treated alongside parasites, pathogens, and mass mortality events, while later sections examine human interactions, fisheries, ecosystem management, contaminants, and underwater noise. With contributions focused on cetaceans and pinnipeds as well as broader marine-mammal concerns, the book connects biological research with the tools and pressures involved in conservation and management.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students and researchers in marine biology, ecology, or conservation
  • Readers seeking reference material on cetaceans and pinnipeds
  • Conservation practitioners interested in marine-mammal monitoring and human impacts
