Comparative histopathologic and viral immunohistochemical studies on CeMV infection among Western Mediterranean, Northeast-Central, and Southwestern Atlantic cetaceans.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) is a major natural cause of morbidity and mortality in cetaceans worldwide and results in epidemic and endemic fatalities. The pathogenesis of CeMV has not been fully elucidated, and questions remain regarding tissue tropism

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.

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 ...

Molecular ecology of Bottlenose (Tursiops sp.) and common (Delphinus sp.) Dolphins [PDF]

, 2004
Bottlenose (Tursiops sp.) and common dolphins (Delphinus sp.) are amongst the most common small cetaceans. They both have a world-wide distribution from warm temperate to tropical waters inhabiting pelagic and coastal waters, and they both show high ...

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.

Chronic interaction between humans and free-ranging bottlenose dolphins near Panama City Beach, Florida [PDF]

, 2004
‘Swim-with’ activities, in which humans enter the water to interact with free-ranging cetaceans, are a popular form of nature tourism; however, there is considerable disagreement as to whether these encounters constitute a threat to the animals.

The bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) faecal microbiota [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2016
Cetaceans have evolved from herbivorous terrestrial artiodactyls closely related to ruminants and hippopotamuses. Delphinidae, a family included in this order, represent an extreme and successful re-adaptation of mammalian physiology to the marine habitat and piscivorous diet.

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 ...
