In order to develop complementary health management strategies for marine mammals, we used culture‐based and culture‐independent approaches to identify gastrointestinal lactobacilli of the common bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus.

To effectively mitigate disturbances from human activities on vulnerable dolphin populations, it is crucial to understand fine‐scale variation in habitat use. This study investigated the habitat utilisation of a small subpopulation of Hector's dolphins (Cephalorhynchus hectori) in Porpoise Bay, New Zealand.

Establishing death in stranded Odontocetes (toothed whales) using other mammals : a pilot study : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Zoology at Massey University [PDF]
The aim of this study was to investigate and evaluate a new method for determining death in stranded odontocetes (toothed whales). The new method was using the pulsations seen in the retinal blood vessels in the place of the heart rate. The retinal blood

This original research piece demonstrates, through empirical and theoretical modelling approaches, that the epibionts of striped dolphins indicate dolphin abundance shifts caused by epidemics of dolphin morbillivirus (DMV). In addition, we provide the first SIR model to investigate the epidemiology of DMV in western Mediterranean striped dolphins ...
