Echoic Object Recognition by the Bottlenose Dolphin [PDF]

open access: yesComparative 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 ...

Genome sequence of a gammaherpesvirus from a common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A herpesvirus genome was sequenced directly from a biopsy specimen of a rectal lesion from a female common bottlenose dolphin. This genome sequence comprises a unique region (161,235 bp) flanked by multiple copies of a terminal repeat (4,431 bp) and ...

Aerial abundance estimates for two sympatric dolphin species at a regional scale using distance sampling and density surface modeling

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Monitoring wildlife populations over scales relevant to management is critical to supporting conservation decision-making in the face of data deficiency, particularly for rare species occurring across large geographic ranges.

Trawling and bottlenose dolphins' social structure [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2001
Human activities can affect the behaviour of mammals through the modification of habitats, changes in predation pressure or alterations in food distribution and availability. We analysed the association and ranging patterns of 242 individually identified bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in eastern Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia, and ...

Personality structure in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Comparative Psychology, 2021
Comparative studies can help identify selective pressures that contributed to species differences in the number and composition of personality domains. Despite being adapted to an aquatic lifestyle and last sharing a common ancestor with primates some 95 million years ago, bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) resemble nonhuman primate species in ...
