Oceanography and Marine Biology

Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review remains one of the most cited sources in marine science and oceanography. The ever increasing interest in work in oceanography and marine biology and its relevance to global environmental issues especially global climate change and its impacts creates a demand for authoritative reviews summarizing the results of recent research. This volume covers topics that include resting cysts from coastal marine plankton facilitation cascades in marine ecosystems and the way that human activities are rapidly altering the sensory landscape and behaviour of marine animals.For more than 50 years OMBAR has been an essential reference for research workers and students in all fields of marine science. From Volume 57 a new international Editorial Board ensures global relevance with editors from the UK Ireland Canada Australia and Singapore. The series volumes find a place in the libraries of not only marine laboratories and institutes but also universities. Previous volume Impact Factors include: Volume 53 4.545. Volume 54 7.000.
