Comparative Genomics and Functional Evidence for Convergent Adaptation to Hypoxia in Mammals
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study reveals convergent selection in mammals adapted to hypoxia. Functional assays demonstrate that amino acid mutations reduce oxidative stress, attenuate hypoxia‐induced injury, and modulate the hypoxia‐inducible transcription factor (HIF)‐driven hypoxic response.

Group size varies with climate and oceanographic conditions in bottlenose dolphins
, 2022 14 pages, 4 tables, 3 figuresAn understanding of animal grouping patterns is essential to increase knowledge about their social systems. We used a 5-year continuous dataset to investigate grouping behavior in a free-ranging highly social mammal, the ...

Theriologia Ukrainica, 2020 Piebaldism is one of three types of hypopigmentation of animals, when some areas on the skin have no pigments. Anomalously white cetaceans are rare, although they have been reported in more than 20 different cetacean species, including the common ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Spatiotemporal distribution of odontocete cetaceans within China's Jiushan Archipelago National Nature Reserve was investigated. Fishing vessels significantly reduced both cetacean acoustic detections and feeding activity, whereas gillnets selectively suppressed cetacean feeding behavior without affecting overall cetacean detection rates.

Population genetics of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) from an Anglo-Saxon archaeological site in comparison with modern populations. [PDF]
, 2004 Bottlenose dolphins {Tursiops truncatus) exhibit a cosmopolitan distribution, being found in temperate and tropical oceans throughout the world. Members of this species in the waters surrounding Britain are the most northerly populations and show a ...

Population ecology of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) off the east coast of Scotland [PDF]
, 2015 The population of bottlenose dolphins off the east coast of Scotland has been studied since the late 1980s, initially focused on the inner Moray Firth, where a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) was designated under the EU Habitats Directive.

Maximizing eDNA detections of rare marine organisms: A case study of a delphinid species
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging tool for surveying marine organisms. Advances in molecular assay designs and bioinformatic methods provide new opportunities for detecting rare species; however, overcoming methodological challenges of rare species detection remains an important obstacle for the widespread deployment of eDNA methods for ...

As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible Regularization for Implicit Surfaces
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Implicit surface representations have regained popularity because of their use in machine learning. A common component in optimization is regularization, penalizing the deviation of the surface from its original shape. The popular as‐rigid‐as‐possible (Arap) energy strikes a good compromise between realistic deformation behavior and efficient ...

Toxicant exposure, population genetics, and trophic associations of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in the Swan River [PDF]
, 2011 Although Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) are a valued component of the Swan-Canning Estuary and the Swan Canning Riverpark, little is known about the health and ecology of the small community of dolphins inhabiting the estuary.
