Genetic divergence and fine scale population structure of the common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus, Montagu) found in the Gulf of Guayaquil, Ecuador [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The common bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, is widely distributed along the western coast of South America. In Ecuador, a resident population of bottlenose dolphins inhabits the inner estuarine area of the Gulf of Guayaquil located in the ...

Common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) behavior in an active narrow seaport. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2019 The Galveston Ship Channel (GSC) is a narrow, congested waterway that supports large-scale shipping, commercial fishing, dolphin tourism, and recreation. Human activity and common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) converge in the GSC with potentially negative consequences on the dolphins.

Signal-specific amplitude adjustment to noise in common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2019 Anthropogenic underwater noise has increased over the past century, raising concern about the impact on cetaceans that rely on sound for communication, navigation, and locating prey and predators. Many terrestrial animals increase the amplitude of their acoustic signals to partially compensate for the masking effect of noise (the Lombard response), but

Explosive exhalations by common bottlenose dolphins during Karenia brevis red tides [PDF]
Heliyon, 2020 Harmful algal blooms (HABs) such as those produced by Karenia brevis have acute negative impacts on common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Florida coastal waters, frequently causing illness and death. However, much less is known about chronic,

Salinity and pH affect common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) sperm viability
Animal Reproduction ScienceThe female reproductive environment modulates sperm fertilization potential and may exert numerous selective forces on sperm during fertilization. Exploring cetacean (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) sperm responses to variable extracellular salinity and pH, either from seawater exposure or from the vaginal environment, offers insight into the ...

Serological Evidence of Cetacean Morbillivirus Infection in Common Bottlenose Dolphins in Japan [PDF]
Microbiology and ImmunologyABSTRACTThis study revealed that 41.9% of wild‐born Japanese captive dolphins (18 out of 43 dolphins) have neutralizing antibodies specific to cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV). This finding indicates a widespread yet undetected CeMV infection among wild dolphins in the waters around Japan, occurring without notable epidemic or mass mortality of dolphins.

Theriologia Ukrainica, 2020 Piebaldism is one of three types of hypopigmentation of animals, when some areas on the skin have no pigments. Anomalously white cetaceans are rare, although they have been reported in more than 20 different cetacean species, including the common ...
