Brain Morphology and Quantitative Assessment of Sensory Brain Areas in Southern Bluefin Tuna, Thunnus maccoyii (Scombridae, Teleostei)

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 4, April 2026.
The absolute and relative volume of major sensory and integrative brain regions of the southern bluefin tuna Thunnus maccoyii are examined using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A dominant cerebellum projects into the midbrain ventricular space, while the optic tectum represents a smaller proportion of total brain volume than previously estimated ...

Navigating Cetacean Mitochondrial Genome Data: Identifying Coverage and Deficiencies in Public Repositories

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic reference databases underpin a wide range of molecular approaches used to study cetacean biodiversity, including environmental DNA (eDNA), yet their reliability depends critically on data completeness, taxonomic accuracy, and metadata quality.

Ecosystem Impacts of the Landing Obligation for Unwanted Catch in Thermaikos Gulf (Greece)

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 246-259, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Discards by marine commercial fisheries have been an issue of major concern to the scientific community in recent years. We modeled the ecological and trophic consequences of a mandatory landing obligation (LO) regulated by the reformed Common Fisheries Policy [Regulation (EU) 1380/2013] on the Thermaikos Gulf ecosystem (northwestern Aegean ...

Applying the Ecological Trap Concept to Cetaceans

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Wild animals may select poor‐quality habitats due to mismatches between perceived and actual habitat quality, creating ecological traps. Although well explored in terrestrial systems, this concept remains underutilized for marine species.

A NORTHERN RECORD OF PANTROPICAL SPOTTED DOLPHINS (Stenella attenuata) IN SOUTHWEST ATLANTIC OCEAN

Arquivos de Ciências do Mar, 2020
Pantropical spotted dolphins, Stenella attenuata, are found across all tropical and subtropical oceans around the world, but their distribution is poorly known in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (SWA). A group of approximately 10 S. attenuata individuals was sighted in deep (~3,000 m), warm (~27.5 °C) and oligotrophic waters, near oceanic banks off ...

Responses of Human-Habituated Wild Atlantic Spotted Dolphins to Play Behaviors Using a Two-Way Human/Dolphin Interface

International Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2012
Since 1985, a well-studied community of free ranging Atlantic spotted dolphins, Stenella frontalis, and bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, has been observed underwater in the Bahamas. Over this period, the dolphins have become habituated to human swimmers.

Preferential Association Among Kin Exhibited in a Population of Atlantic Spotted Dolphins ( Stenella frontalis )

International Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2008
While it is widely accepted that dolphins form associations with conspecifics based primarily on similarities in age class and reproductive status, perhaps equally important is the investigation into secondary influences such as kinship. Preferential association among kin is well-researched in numerous terrestrial species, but has only recently been ...

Water temperature drives the segregation between common and Atlantic spotted dolphins in Azorean waters

Global Ecology and Conservation
The coexistence of sympatric species, which share similar ecological requirements and compete for resources in the same area, requires mechanisms to reduce interspecific competition. In the Azores, common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) and Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis) exhibit a strong seasonal pattern, with common dolphins’ presence ...

Development of single-pin, un-barbed, pole-tagging of free-swimming dolphins and sharks with satellite-linked transmitters

Animal Biotelemetry
Background To tag large marine vertebrates, without the need to catch them, avoiding using barbs for tag retention, and precisely controlling tag location, the remote Tag Attachment Device on a pole (TADpole) was developed.
