Seascape Genetics of the Atlantic Spotted Dolphin (Stenella frontalis) Based on Mitochondrial DNA [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2021 AbstractThe Atlantic spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis) is endemic to tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Throughout its distribution, both geographic distance and environmental variation may contribute to population structure of the species.

Audiograms and click spectra of seven novel and seldom-tested odontocetes
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The use of auditory evoked potentials has been promoted as a means by which to collect audiometric information from odontocete cetaceans that are rarely encountered in stranding situations.

Hearing loss in stranded odontocete dolphins and whales. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The causes of dolphin and whale stranding can often be difficult to determine. Because toothed whales rely on echolocation for orientation and feeding, hearing deficits could lead to stranding.

Structure and phylogeography of two tropical predators, spinner (Stenella longirostris) and pantropical spotted (S. attenuata) dolphins, from SNP data [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Little is known about global patterns of genetic connectivity in pelagic dolphins, including how circumtropical pelagic dolphins spread globally following the rapid and recent radiation of the subfamily delphininae.

Detection of Helicobacter in the Digestive Tract of an Atlantic Spotted Dolphin (Stenella frontalis) [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2010 Helicobacter spp. occur in the digestive system of a broad range of animal taxa, including marine mammals. Only one formally recognized species, Helicobacter cetorum, has been described in marine mammals. Helicobacter has not been reported in the Atlantic spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis).

The partial merger of two dolphin societies
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Interactions between mammalian social groups are generally antagonistic as individuals in groups cooperate to defend resources from non-members. Members of the family Delphinidae inhabit a three-dimensional habitat where resource defence is usually ...

Animals, 2022 Cetaceans are mammals that underwent a series of evolutionary adaptations to live in the aquatic environment, including morphological modifications of various anatomical structures of the skeleton and their bone mineral density (BMD); there are few ...

Dolphins adjust species-specific frequency parameters to compensate for increasing background noise. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 An increase in ocean noise levels could interfere with acoustic communication of marine mammals. In this study we explored the effects of anthropogenic and natural noise on the acoustic properties of a dolphin communication signal, the whistle.
