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.

Echoic Object Recognition by the Bottlenose Dolphin [PDF]
Comparative Cognition & Behavior Reviews, 2008 Object recognition, essential to many animals, often occurs underwater and in poor visibility conditions for bottlenose dolphins. Bottlenose dolphins can use sound through their ability to echolocate in order to recognize objects. Echoic object recognition is an unusual faculty that offers rich research opportunities and is the focus of this article ...

No mullet, no gain: cooperation between dolphins and cast net fishermen in southern Brazil
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2018 We report on the interaction between common bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus (Montagu, 1821) and cast net fishermen in southern coast of Brazil. The fishery was monitored in the mouth of the Tramandaí River Estuary to investigate the seasonality ...

Personality structure in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2021 Comparative studies can help identify selective pressures that contributed to species differences in the number and composition of personality domains. Despite being adapted to an aquatic lifestyle and last sharing a common ancestor with primates some 95 million years ago, bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) resemble nonhuman primate species in ...

Conspecific "gaze following" in bottlenose dolphins
Animal Cognition, 2022 Abstract"Gaze following"—when one individual witnesses another shift its orientation, and then re-orients in the same direction—has been observed in a wide range of species. Related work with dolphins has to date focused on human–dolphin interactions. In this conspecific study, we examined a group of dolphins orienting, in passing, to gateways between ...

Why do Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops sp.) carry conch shells (Turbinella sp.) in Shark Bay, Western Australia? [PDF]
, 2010 Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops sp.) in Shark Bay, Western Australia, exhibit a remarkable array of foraging tactics within a single population (Mann and Sargeant 2003).
