A special theme section entitled "Acoustics in Marine Ecology" just published in the journal Marine Ecology Progress series is now available. This compliation of empirical and review papers includes an introduction and overview of the relevant issues, along with a call for new research paradigms and funding strategies, as well as manuscripts in three general subject areas: (1) the use of passive listening systems to measure and monitor marine ecosystems; (2) active acoustic technologies to explore habitat use and predator-prey behavior; and (3) impacts of anthropogenic sound on the marine environment. A weblink to the abstracts and contributed articles is given below.
