Corpses as Repositories of Information and Funerals as Information Centres: Why Natural Selection Favours the Bereaved

Ethology, EarlyView.
Corpses are repositories of information about the cause of death. The distress of the bereaved acts as an honest signal drawing conspecifics to the body, enabling them to learn quickly about the death, adapt their behaviour, and spread knowledge of threats across multiple social levels.

Vocalization behaviors in captive bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and rough-toothed dolphins (Steno bredanensis).

PLoS ONE
Odontocetes rely on vocalizations for navigation, foraging, and communication. Their vocalization patterns are associated with environmental conditions and behavioral contexts, particularly in captive populations. This study investigated the vocalization

Is Gillnet Prey Subsidizing Ontogenetic Diet Shifts and Early Weaning in Common Coastal Bottlenose Dolphins From the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico?

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Artisanal gillnet fisheries can concentrate prey and provide incidental food subsidies to marine predators, but their effects on early‐life foraging behavior and demography remain poorly resolved. The Alvarado bottlenose dolphin population that lives off the coast of Veracruz, Mexico, is well known for having chronic, frequent, and recurring ...

The heart responds to pressure via the lung: Dive depth alters cardiac control in bottlenose dolphins

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Dive depth independently modulated cardiac regulation in bottlenose dolphins during controlled voluntary dives. Dolphins performed dives to 0.5, 5 and 10 m with standardized dive durations, allowing the effects of depth on cardiovascular responses to be evaluated.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Utterance evolution: the road to generative, combinatorial communicators

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2427-2447, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Language has long been considered uniquely complex in the animal kingdom; however, animal research over the last decade has begun to challenge some long‐standing premises about exactly which language capacities are uniquely human. The task of resolving why and how complex communication systems evolve, particularly human language, has ...

Sociability Under Anthropogenic Change: From Individual Behaviour to Population‐Level Consequences

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Our review synthesises empirical and theoretical research on how anthropogenic environmental change reshapes animal social behaviour from individuals to populations. We use sociability as an individual‐level lens, distinguishing context‐dependent expression from repeatable interindividual differences and linking both to social relationships, network ...

Demography of the bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus (Mammalia: Delphinidae) in the Eastern Ligurian Sea (NW Mediterranean): quantification of female reproductive parameters

The European Zoological Journal, 2017
The reproductive histories of 41 adult bottlenose dolphin females were analysed using photo-identification data collected between 2006 and 2014 in four sub-areas of the eastern Ligurian Sea (northwest Mediterranean).

Lobomycosis in Offshore Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), North Carolina

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
Lacazia loboi, a cutaneous fungus, is found in humans and dolphins from transitional tropical (Florida) and tropical (South America) regions. We report 2 cases of lobomycosis in stranded bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and 1 case of lobomycosis ...
