Alkenones in oceanic odontocetes as a potential proxy of environmental water temperature
The alkenones C37:2 and C37:3 are produced exclusively by some haptophyte species. Their relative proportion (Uk’37 index) may be used to infer the water temperature where the synthesising haptophyte lived.

ABSTRACT Species distribution models (SDMs) have been developed for multiple cetacean species within the California Current Ecosystem (CCE) from shipboard survey data collected by the Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) in summer and fall, thus limiting the ability to inform management decisions in cool seasons when abundance and distribution ...

Challenges of collecting blow from small cetaceans
We trialed the collection of blow samples using a waterproof electric multirotor (quadcopter) drone from two free‐ranging dolphin species, the abundant and approachable bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) and the less common and boat shy humpback ...

Duration of unassisted swimming activity for spotted dolphin (Stenella attenuata) calves: implications for mother-calf separation during tuna purse-seine sets [PDF]
Size-related differences in power production and swim speed duration may contribute to the observed deficit of nursing calves in relation to lactating females killed in sets by tuna purse-seiners in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (ETP).

Efficient coding in dolphin surface behavioral patterns [PDF]
We show that the law of brevity, i.e. the tendency of words to shorten as their frequency increases, is also found in dolphin surface behavioral patterns. As far as we know, this is the first evidence of the law in another species, suggesting that coding

Bottlenose Dolphin Hydrodynamics Research
Data collected thus far, including surface photography, and underwater high definition video footage, have provided answers to many initial questions while providing opportunities for further studies, such as, dolphin burst speeds used in catching fast swimming fish and/or avoiding predatory attacks.
