Independent Avian Epigenetic Clocks for Ageing and Development
Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Information on individual age is a fundamental aspect in many ecological and evolutionary studies. However, accurate and non‐lethal methods that can be applied to estimate the age of wild animals are often absent. Furthermore, since the process of ageing is accompanied by a physical decline and the deterioration of biological functions, the ...

Abundance and behavioural ecology of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Conservation Biology at Massey University [PDF]
, 2007 In order to survive, animals require both food and protection from predators. These ecological factors are major determinants in habitat selection and social interactions.

Cetacean Morbillivirus-Associated Pathology: Knowns and Unknowns [PDF]
, 2016 The present minireview deals with the pathology of Cetacean Morbillivirus (CeMV) infection in free-ranging cetaceans. In this respect, while "classical" CeMV-associated lesions were observed in the lung, brain, and lymphoid tissues from striped dolphins (

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.

Close encounters of the friendly kind: pacific between‐group interactions in primates
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While intergroup conflict features prominently in the behavioural ecology literature, its antonym, intergroup peace, has been a rather neglected phenomenon until recently. Neighbourly relations and affiliative interactions are far from uncommon.

Nontargeted biomonitoring of halogenated organic compounds in two ecotypes of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) from the Southern California Bight. [PDF]
, 2015 Targeted environmental monitoring reveals contamination by known chemicals, but may exclude potentially pervasive but unknown compounds. Marine mammals are sentinels of persistent and bioaccumulative contaminants due to their longevity and high trophic ...
