Population genetics of species on the genera Tursiops and Delphinus within the Gulf of California and along the western coast of Baja California. [PDF]
, 2011 This present study investigated the evolution of population genetic structure of two closely related cetacean species, bottlenose (Tursiops truncatus) and common dolphins (Delphinus spp.) within the Gulf of California (GC) and along the West Coast of ...

Resolving the trophic relations of cryptic species: an example using stable isotope analysis of dolphin teeth. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Understanding the foraging ecology and diet of animals can play a crucial role in conservation of a species. This is particularly true where species are cryptic and coexist in environments where observing feeding behaviour directly is difficult.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

Baseline urinalysis values in common bottlenose dolphins under human care in the Caribbean [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2019 Urinalysis is a rapid, simple, inexpensive, and reliable test that documents urine abnormalities reflecting various types of renal, hormonal, or metabolic diseases. Urinalysis could assist proper monitoring of the health of dolphins under human care; however, normal baseline values for dolphin urinalysis have not been reported, to our knowledge.

The relationship between developmental stability, Ggenomic diversity and environmental stress in two cetacean species:: the Harbour Porpoise (Phocoenaphocoena) and The Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatusl) [PDF]
, 2005 The relationship between developmental stability, genomic diversity and environmental stress in three eastern North Atlantic populations of the harbour porpoise {Phocoena phocoena), and in two populations of the western North Atlantic and one from the ...

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The design of experiments to investigate the combined effects of multiple stressors requires exposing target organisms to multiple combinations of stressor doses. Concurrent manipulation of stressors is often infeasible with wildlife, but long‐lasting health effects allow individual health to be used as an integrator of prior stressor exposure.

T Helper Cell Subsets and Their Functions in Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Considerable efforts have been made to better understand the immune system of bottlenose dolphins in view of the common environmental challenges they encounter, such as exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls, oil spills, or harmful algal bloom biotoxins.

Challenges of collecting blow from small cetaceans
Ecosphere, 2019 We trialed the collection of blow samples using a waterproof electric multirotor (quadcopter) drone from two free‐ranging dolphin species, the abundant and approachable bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) and the less common and boat shy humpback ...
