The influence of fish farm activity on the social structure of the common bottlenose dolphin in Sardinia (Italy) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 In a wide variety of habitats, including some heavily urbanised areas, the adaptability of populations of common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) may depend on the social structure dynamics.

Efficient coding in dolphin surface behavioral patterns [PDF]
, 2009 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

PLoS ONE, 2021 Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) are migratory marine mammals that live in both open-ocean and coastal habitats. Although widely studied, little is known about their occurrence patterns in the highly urbanized estuary of the Chesapeake Bay, USA ...

Alkenones in oceanic odontocetes as a potential proxy of environmental water temperature
Ecological Indicators, 2021 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.

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

The diatoms test in veterinary medicine: a pilot study on cetaceans and sea turtles [PDF]
, 2018 Fishing activities are considered one of the most relevant threats for cetaceans and sea turtles con- servation since these animals are sometimes found dead entangled in fishing gears.

Ecology and Evolution, 2017 Due to their worldwide distribution and occupancy of different types of environments, bottlenose dolphins display considerable morphological variation. Despite limited understanding about the taxonomic identity of such forms and connectivity among 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 ...

Fatal Systemic Morbillivirus Infection in Bottlenose Dolphin, Canary Islands, Spain
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 A systemic morbillivirus infection was diagnosed postmortem in a juvenile bottlenose dolphin stranded in the eastern North Atlantic Ocean in 2005. Sequence analysis of a conserved fragment of the morbillivirus phosphoprotein gene indicated that the virus
