Vulnerability to Global Environmental Change? Isotopic Inference of a Resident Population of Common Bottlenose Dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, in a Coastal Lagoon in the Southern Gulf of Mexico

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Through the isotopic composition of 211 samples of six different tissues (muscle, liver, heart, kidney, spleen, and lung) obtained from 51 Tursiops truncatus strandings over nearly a decade (2013–2022), this study evaluated the impact of environmental variations on a resident population in a coastal lagoon in the southern Gulf of Mexico ...

Toxicant exposure, population genetics, and trophic associations of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in the Swan River

, 2011
Although Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) are a valued component of the Swan-Canning Estuary and the Swan Canning Riverpark, little is known about the health and ecology of the small community of dolphins inhabiting the estuary.

Sentinels of synthetics - a comparison of phthalate exposure between common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and human reference populations.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Phthalates are chemical esters used as additives in common consumer goods, such as plastics, household cleaners, and personal care products. Phthalates are not chemically bound to the items to which they are added and can easily leach into the ...

The Evolution of Masturbation in Birds

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Masturbation has been sporadically documented across animal groups, yet the evolutionary origins and persistence of this sexual behaviour are largely unexplored. Through combining targeted surveys with published accounts, we test hypotheses about why masturbation occurs using a phylogenetically broad dataset on the presence or absence of masturbation ...

Geographic and species variation in bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops spp.) signature whistle types

, 2011
Geographic variation in the whistle vocalisations of dolphins has previously been reported. However, most studies have focused on the whole whistle repertoire, with little attempt to classify sounds into biologically relevant categories.

Impacts of Fishing Entanglement on the Bottlenose Dolphin Society in the Gulf of Guayaquil, Ecuador

, 2021
The common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is a cosmopolitan species inhabiting tropical and temperate waters. Some populations of coastal bottlenose dolphin (both T. truncatus and Tursiops aduncus) are among the better studied cetacean societies.

Group size and composition of Tursiops truncatus (Cetacea: Delphinidae) in a coastal insular habitat off southeastern Brazil [PDF]

Biotemas, 2012
The aim of the present study was to describe the size and composition of groups of common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Cagarras Archipelago (23°01’S, 43°12’W), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil based on six years of observation (2004 and 2006 to ...

Mating Attempts and Sustained Interest Behaviors of Wild Boars (Sus scrofa) Toward a Dead Conspecific

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We documented behavioral responses of wild boars (Sus scrofa) to a conspecific carcass using camera traps throughout the full decomposition process. One adult male exhibited necrophilic behavior and sustained non‐feeding interactions with the carcass, highlighting pronounced individual variation.

Population biology of bottlenose dolphins in the Azores archipelago

, 2007
The ranging behaviour, habitat preferences, genetic structure, and demographic parameters of bottlenose dolphins living in the Azores were studied using data collected from 1999 to 2004.
