Updated estimate of fecundity for Hector's dolphin is lower and more precise than prior estimation. This latest estimate suggests a lower capacity for population growth than previously thought and a reduced resilience to anthropogenic threats. Abstract Prediction of future population trajectories is vital in the management of threatened species but ...

T Helper Cell Subsets and Their Functions in Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) [PDF]
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.

Abstract Knowledge on the ecology and life‐history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. However, such data have never been collated for four of the five families in the suborder Syngnathoidei—the close relatives of the better‐studied ...
