Social and population structure of striped and Risso's dolphins in the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

, 2004
The aim of this research was to apply genetic methods to a better understanding of the evolution of population genetic structure in two dolphin species inhabiting a shared geographic range in the Mediterranean Sea and eastern North Atlantic (ENA).

Cetacean feeding modelling using machine learning: A case study of the Central-Eastern Mediterranean Sea

Ecological Informatics
Investigating environmental drivers of cetacean feeding behaviour is essential for effective marine resource management, especially in the Mediterranean Sea, a biodiversity hotspot heavily impacted by human activities and climate change.

The Cognitive Foundations of Teaching

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The propensity to teach is vital to human cultural evolution and to our ecological dominance of the planet, but its cognitive foundations remain poorly understood. Traditional explanations argue that teaching hinges on particular cognitive pre‐requisites, such as Theory of Mind.

Population dynamics and habitat use of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus), Bunbury, Western Australia

, 2012
Coastal dolphins are increasingly exposed to a variety of human activities through the proliferation of coastal development. Threats to dolphins in near-shore environments include the loss of suitable habitat, increasing vessel traffic and tourism ...

Temporal changes in the dietary niche of sympatric seals provides insight into the role of competition in population declines

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Competition theory suggests that interspecific prey competition can result in changes to the dietary niche, but obtaining timeseries of data from sympatric species experiencing temporal variation in competition is challenging. Scotland is an important area for two species of seals, but over the past 20 years, populations of harbour seals Phoca vitulina

Influence of dolphin-watching tourism vessels on the whistle emission pattern of common dolphins and bottlenose dolphins

, 2022
Over the last few years there has been a significant increase in the number of dolphin-watching boats in the Algarve (Portugal), which my lead to short- and long-term impacts on the target species (e.g., common dolphin, bottlenose dolphin). In recent decades there has been a greater interest in the potential effects of anthropogenic noise on marine ...

Genetic characterisation and social structure of the East Scotland population of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)

, 2010
The Eastern Scottish population of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) is the northernmost population of this species. The resident core of this population consists of 120 to 150 different individuals.

Whole‐Genome‐Sequencing Reveals Demographic History and Patterns of Parallel Adaptive Evolution in Indo‐Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) Across Coastal Australian Seascapes

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 11, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding how demographic dynamics interact with environmental heterogeneity is central to explaining patterns of genomic variation in the marine realm. Indo‐Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) occur along most of the Australian coastline, from tropical to temperate waters, encompassing pronounced differences in temperature ...
