Nontargeted biomonitoring of halogenated organic compounds in two ecotypes of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) from the Southern California Bight. [PDF]
, 2015 Targeted environmental monitoring reveals contamination by known chemicals, but may exclude potentially pervasive but unknown compounds. Marine mammals are sentinels of persistent and bioaccumulative contaminants due to their longevity and high trophic ...

Decades-long social memory in bottlenose dolphins [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2013 Long-term social memory is important, because it is an ecologically relevant test of cognitive capacity, it helps us understand which social relationships are remembered and it relates two seemingly disparate disciplines: cognition and sociality. For dolphins, long-term memory for conspecifics could help assess social threats as well as potential ...

PLoS ONE, 2017 The current conservation status of the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) under the IUCN is 'least concern'. However, in the Caribbean, small and localized populations of the 'inshore form' may be at higher risk of extinction than the 'worldwide ...

Model-Based Method for Social Network Clustering
, 2018 We propose a simple mixed membership model for social network clustering in this note. A flexible function is adopted to measure affinities among a set of entities in a social network.

Abundance and behavioural ecology of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Conservation Biology at Massey University [PDF]
, 2007 In order to survive, animals require both food and protection from predators. These ecological factors are major determinants in habitat selection and social interactions.

Habitat preferences among three top predators inhabiting a degraded ecosystem, the Black Sea
Scientia Marina, 2017 This study investigated whether there is evidence of widespread niche partitioning based on environmental factors in the Black Sea and tested the hypothesis that physiographic factors may be employed as predictors.

Bi-Objective Community Detection (BOCD) in Networks using Genetic Algorithm
, 2011 A lot of research effort has been put into community detection from all corners of academic interest such as physics, mathematics and computer science. In this paper I have proposed a Bi-Objective Genetic Algorithm for community detection which maximizes

Duration of unassisted swimming activity for spotted dolphin (Stenella attenuata) calves: implications for mother-calf separation during tuna purse-seine sets [PDF]
, 2006 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).

Transatlantic Surveys of Seabirds, Cetaceans and Turtles, July 2013 and July 2018 [PDF]
, 2018 Analysis of multi-species tracking data suggest that an area of the deep northwest Atlantic bounded by Flemish Cap, Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone and Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) has a relatively high abundance and diversity of pelagic seabirds.
