Personality and Affiliation in a Cooperative Task for Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) Dyads [PDF]

, 2020
Social species can depend on each other for survival, helping in rearing of young, predator defense, and foraging. Personality dynamics between individuals may influence cooperative behaviors.

Evidence for social role in a dolphin social network [PDF]

, 2006
Social animals have to take into consideration the behaviour of conspecifics when making decisions to go by their daily lives. These decisions affect their fitness and there is therefore an evolutionary pressure to try making the right choices.

Conspecific "gaze following" in bottlenose dolphins

Animal Cognition, 2022
Abstract"Gaze following"—when one individual witnesses another shift its orientation, and then re-orients in the same direction—has been observed in a wide range of species. Related work with dolphins has to date focused on human–dolphin interactions. In this conspecific study, we examined a group of dolphins orienting, in passing, to gateways between ...

Genetic divergence and fine scale population structure of the common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus, Montagu) found in the Gulf of Guayaquil, Ecuador

PeerJ, 2018
The common bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, is widely distributed along the western coast of South America. In Ecuador, a resident population of bottlenose dolphins inhabits the inner estuarine area of the Gulf of Guayaquil located in the ...

Swimming with captive dolphins: current debates and post-experience dissonance [PDF]

, 2007
Dolphins have widespread contemporary appeal and anthropomorphic social representations of dolphins have fuelled a growing desire in tourist populations to seek interaction with them.

Echoic Object Recognition by the Bottlenose Dolphin [PDF]

Comparative Cognition & Behavior Reviews, 2008
Object recognition, essential to many animals, often occurs underwater and in poor visibility conditions for bottlenose dolphins. Bottlenose dolphins can use sound through their ability to echolocate in order to recognize objects. Echoic object recognition is an unusual faculty that offers rich research opportunities and is the focus of this article ...

Model-based abundance estimates for bottlenose dolphins off southern Spain: implications for conservation and management

J. Cetacean Res. Manage., 2023
An EU-funded Life project was initiated off southern Spain in 2002, with the objective of developing a Conservation Plan for bottlenose dolphins in the area.

Locus coeruleus complex of the family Delphinidae [PDF]

, 2018
The locus coeruleus (LC) is the largest catecholaminergic nucleus and extensively projects to widespread areas of the brain and spinal cord. The LC is the largest source of noradrenaline in the brain.

Genetic diversity of bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops sp.) populations in the western North Pacific and the conservation implications

Marine Biology, 2017
The evolutionary processes that shape patterns of diversity in highly mobile marine species are poorly understood, but important towards transferable inference on their effective conservation. In this study, bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops sp.) are studied

Evidence for distinct coastal and offshore communities of bottlenose dolphins in the north east Atlantic. [PDF]

, 2015
Bottlenose dolphin stock structure in the northeast Atlantic remains poorly understood. However, fine scale photo-id data have shown that populations can comprise multiple overlapping social communities.
