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 ...

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 ...

Trawling and bottlenose dolphins' social structure [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2001 Human activities can affect the behaviour of mammals through the modification of habitats, changes in predation pressure or alterations in food distribution and availability. We analysed the association and ranging patterns of 242 individually identified bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in eastern Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia, and ...

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 ...
