Vocalization behaviors in captive bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and rough-toothed dolphins (Steno bredanensis). [PDF]
PLoS ONEOdontocetes 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

Scientific Reports, 2021 Aggressive behavior of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) towards conspecifics is widely described, but they have also often been reported attacking and killing harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) around the world. However, very few reports exist

Fecal glucocorticoid metabolites can be used as a stress indicator in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) [PDF]
Open Veterinary JournalBackground: Glucocorticoids increase in response to the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis stimulation, and their metabolites can be measured in dolphins' feces.

Unihemispheric sleep deprivation in bottlenose dolphins [PDF]
Journal of Sleep Research, 1992 SUMMARY Unihemispheric and bihemispheric sleep deprivation were performed in bottlenose dolphins. One brain hemisphere was capable of being deprived of delta (0.5‐3.0 Hz) sleep in the former condition. Here, an increase in sleep pressure was observed during sleep deprivation in the deprived hemisphere.

Bottlenose dolphins are sensitive to human attentional features, including eye functionality [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 The ability to attribute attentional states to other individuals is a highly adaptive socio-cognitive skill and thus may have evolved in many social species.

Mercury and Selenium Accumulation in the Tissues of Stranded Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Northeast Florida, 2013–2021 [PDF]
AnimalsBottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) are long-lived marine mammals, upper-level predators, and they inhabit near-shore environments, which increases their exposure to pollution.

Agonistic interactions initiated by adult bottlenose dolphins on Antillean manatee calves in the Caribbean Sea. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe dynamics and drivers of inter-species interactions in the wild are poorly understood, particularly those involving social animal species. Inter-species interactions between cetaceans and sirenians have rarely been documented and investigated.

Aggressive Behaviors of Adult Male Atlantic Spotted Dolphins: Making Signals Count during Intraspecific and Interspecific Conflicts [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2021 Some species exhibit behavioral plasticity by altering their aggressive behavior based on their opponent. Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis) and bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) are two sympatric species resident to the northern ...

Seasonal and diel influences on bottlenose dolphin acoustic detection determined by whistles in a coastal lagoon in the southwestern Gulf of California [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Marine mammals in subtropical coastal habitats are sentinels of the health of the ecosystem and offer important ecosystem services. They rely on prey that pursues feeding opportunities, while both avoid unfavorable conditions.

Occurrence, residency patterns and habitat use of the bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus truncatus, on two Marine Protected Areas in Southeastern Brazil [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2020 The common bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, is widely distributed. However, information about its ecology and behavior in Brazilian waters is scarce especially about the ‘offshore’ ecotype, an Evolutionarily Significant Unit in the Southwest ...
