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.

First record of a white rough-toothed dolphin (Steno bredanensis) off West Africa including notes on rough-toothed dolphin surface behaviour [PDF]
, 2010 In June 2009, a white rough-toothed dolphin (Steno bredanensis) calf was photographed in a group of at least 50 dolphins in the southern Gulf of Guinea, 95 nauticol miles off the Gabon coast (01°45'S 007°29'E), West Africa. Reports of unusually pigmented

Synchronous and Rhythmic Vocalizations and Correlated Underwater Behavior of Free-ranging Atlantic Spotted Dolphins (Stenella frontalis) and Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Bahamas [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2015 Since 1985 a resident community of Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis), and bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), have been studied underwater in the Bahamas.

Molecular Assessment of Mating Strategies in a Population of Atlantic Spotted Dolphins
PLOS ONE, 2015 Similar to other small cetacean species, Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis) have been the object of concentrated behavioral study. Although mating and courtship behaviors occur often and the social structure of the population is well-studied, the genetic mating system of the species is unknown.

Records of Isistius sp. (Elasmobranchii: Squaliformes: Dalatiidae), from the Azores archipelago, inferred by fresh bite marks in dolphins [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et PiscatoriaThe marine waters around the Azores archipelago have been studied for quite a long time. Deeper areas, however, were historically poorly accessible and only now previously unreported species are recorded regularly.

Acoustic behaviour of Risso's dolphins, Grampus griseus, in the Canary Islands, Spain [PDF]
, 2013 The Risso's dolphin (Grampus griseus) is a poorly studied species, particularly with respect to its acoustic behaviour. The little we know about Risso's dolphin acoustics shows that they are an interesting case study given that they combine acoustic ...
