Nucleoside Transport in Erythrocytes from Bottle-Nosed Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1997
Entry of adenosine, and thymidine, into erythrocytes from adult dolphins was rapid, showed saturation at higher substrate concentrations, and was strongly inhibited by low concentrations of nitrobenzylthioinosine (NBMPR). Kinetic parameters were estimated from the concentration dependence of initial rates of tracer entry at 21 degrees C, as K(m) 0.14 +/

MULTIPLE BIRTHS AND CARDIAC ANOMALIES IN THE BOTTLE-NOSED DOLPHIN

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1974
A bottle-nosed dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, delivered a stillborn male fetus, and three months later, died in dystocia. The second fetus, a female, had a transposed pulmonary artery and aorta and an interventricular septal defect.

Individualized Whistle Contours in Bottle-nosed Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)

Nature, 1965
IN 1953, Essapian1 suggested that individual bottle-nosed dolphins, Tursiops truncatus (Montagu), may have distinctive notes which each dolphin can recognize. From his context, in using the word ‘notes’ Essapian referred to the whistle component of Tursiops phonation.

Capacity of bottle-nosed dolphins for generalization based on a relative sign

Neuroscience and Behavioral Physiology, 1991
Using a new modification of a previously proposed method in the bottle-nosed dolphin, a conditioned reflex was developed and consolidated to a relative spatial sign, namely the choice always of the left out of two identical objects under conditions of constant change of the position of this pair of stimuli against the background of one of the sides of ...

The Bottle-Nosed Dolphin Tursiops truncates: Fatty Acid Composition of Milk Triglycerides

Canadian Journal of Biochemistry, 1971
Triglyceride from the milk of the bottle-nosed dolphin Tursiops truncatus has been examined and found to correspond in fatty acid details to the composition of the depot fats of marine mammals generally. No isovaleric or other short-chain acids were present.

Aquatic and aerial vision in the bottle-nosed dolphin

Netherlands Journal of Sea Research, 1972
Abstract In the dolphin Tursiops truncatus (Mont.) under water the whole field of vision of its eye is normal-sighted whereas in air emmetropic vision is restricted to its naso-ventral part. This explains why the animal above water looks at objects which catch its attention with two eyes simultaneously and under water in many cases sidewards with one

Bottle-Nosed Dolphin: Double-Slit Pupil Yields Equivalent Aerial and Underwater Diurnal Acuity

Science, 1975
In bright daylight, and at best viewing distances, the bottlenosed dolphin resolves visual gratings approximately equally well in air and in water. Aerial resolution improves with increased viewing distance, while underwater resolution improves with decreased viewing distance.
