Attention IMATA Members!
Have you ever wanted to know more about the social composition and reproductive behaviors of male California sea lions, the reproductive parameters of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins, a harbor porpoise’s pregnancy, or a right whale’s birth?
If anatomy and physiology are more to your liking, you’ll definitely appreciate how cytokine findings provide implications towards bottlenose dolphin health assessments, how mature male and female Stellar sea lion diets differ and cannot be used as proxies for each other, and about the metacarpo-phalangeal anomalies found in bottlenose dolphins.
Perhaps your interests lie more in keeping with learning about the rehabilitation and homing behavior of a harbor porpoise, the radio-tracking and survivorship of rehabilitated bottlenose dolphins, or about humpback whale, sperm whale and Atlantic spotted dolphin responses to seismic exploration off Angola.
If you’re into vocalizations, you will want to find out about how the gender, age and identity of Antillean manatees can be determined though their isolation calls and how a beluga whale calf vocally develops.
Maybe you would like to discover more about turtles of the world, Antillean manatee distribution and habitat use in the drowned cayes area of Belize, or harbor porpoise habitat use with diurnal and tidal variations in southwest Britain.
Professional and Active members, you can learn more about ALL of these topics in the latest edition (Volume 34, Issue 1) of your complimentary online subscription to Aquatic Mammals by logging on to IngentaConnect at: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/ .

IMATA was founded to foster communication, professionalism, and cooperation among those who serve marine mammal science through training, public display, research, husbandry, conservation, and education. Specifically, IMATA recognizes its role and responsibilities to the continued existence of oceanaria, aquaria and laboratories housing marine mammals.
Trainers and other personnel involved in the husbandry and research of marine mammals must realize a clear understanding of their individual roles as well as the interplay between themselves, the animals in their care, the communities in which they live and work, and the public which they serve and to which they are ultimately responsible.
IMATA hopes to establish a community of members aspiring to attain the objectives of the Association and committed to its code of professional ethics. IMATA is dedicated to providing and advancing the most professional, effective, and humane care of marine animals in all habitats.
IMATA will provide opportunities through which marine animal trainers can exchange and disseminate current knowledge, research and other information among themselves in professional and social settings. In addition,
