Eavesdropping on dolphins: Investigating the habits of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) through fixed acoustic stations.

PLoS ONE, 2019
This study investigates the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus, Montagu 1821) habitat use in the Portofino marine protected area (NW Italy) and adjacent waters, a core area for the dolphins and a highly touristic area in the Mediterranean Sea.

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.

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.

A Robust Design Capture-Recapture Analysis of Abundance, Survival and Temporary Emigration of Three Odontocete Species in the Gulf of Corinth, Greece. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
While the Mediterranean Sea has been designated as a Global Biodiversity Hotspot, assessments of cetacean population abundance are lacking for large portions of the region, particularly in the southern and eastern basins.

Interspecies Retinal Diversity and Optic Nerve Anatomy in Odontocetes

Animals, 2023
Throughout evolution, odontocete vision has had to readapt to the aquatic environment, which has had far-reaching effects on ocular anatomy and neurology.

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.

Histochemical indications for a chemically complex signal produced by the cervical gill slit gland of the pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps) possesses an exocrine gland associated with its false gill slit pigmentation pattern. The cervical gill slit gland is a compound tubuloalveolar gland that produces a holocrine secretion and displays maturational changes in size and secretory histology. While the morphology of the cervical gill slit gland

Why do dolphins form mixed-species associations in the Azores ?

, 2008
Mixed-species associations are temporary associations between individuals of different species that are often observed in birds, primates and cetaceans.

Demographics of the Disappearing Bottlenose Dolphin in Argentina: A Common Species on Its Way Out?

PLoS ONE, 2015
Populations of the once common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) in Argentina have precipitously declined throughout the country in the past decades. Unfortunately, local declines of common species are easily overlooked when establishing priorities

Reversing decline: The impact of spatial conservation on endangered northern bottlenose whales

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Spatial protection of the Gully MPA in 2004 coincided with a shift in human activities and the first signs of population recovery for northern bottlenose whales. While this suggests that well‐designed MPAs can contribute to conservation outcomes even for highly mobile species, long‐term success likely depends on continued monitoring and effective ...
