The genome sequence of the short-beaked common dolphin, Delphinus delphis Linnaeus, 1758 [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of Delphinus delphis (short-beaked common dolphin; Chordata; Mammalia; Artiodactyla; Delphinidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 2,663.52 megabases. Most of the assembly (88.76%) is scaffolded

Chromosome-level genome provides insights into environmental adaptability and innate immunity in the common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) [PDF]

BMC Genomics
The common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) is widely distributed worldwide and well adapted to various habitats. Animal genomes store clues about their pasts, and can reveal the genes underlying their evolutionary success.

Meningeal Lymphatic and Glymphatic Structures in a Pelagic Delphinid (Delphinus delphis) [PDF]

Animals
The glymphatic system, an analog of the peripheral lymphatic system in the brain, and the meningeal lymphatic system are critical to central nervous system health.

Hypertrophic osteopathy in a common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) with concurrent pulmonary Halocercus delphini infestation [PDF]

Heliyon, 2023
Dolphins are marine mammals that often live in coastal habitats. Common causes of severe skeletal disorders among wild dolphins are congenital vertebral anomalities, collisions with sea vessels, trauma, hunting-related injury, infectious diseases ...

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of the common dolphin Delphinus delphis (Cetacea: Delphinidae) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
We report the complete mitogenome of the common dolphin, Delphinus delphis. Overall structure of the 16,387 bp mitogenome was very similar to those of other delphinid species, including the ancient D. delphis individuals.

Metal Levels in Striped Dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) and Common Dolphins (Delphinus delphis) Stranded along the Sicilian Coastlines of the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

Animals
Dolphins, top predators of the aquatic food chain, are used as sentinel species of marine pollution as they are sensitive to environmental changes and able to accumulate a large content of contaminants.

Morphological, Histological and Ultrastructural Characterization of the Common Dolphin’s Adrenal Glands [PDF]

Veterinary Sciences
The adrenal glands are central regulators of endocrine function and stress physiology, yet detailed species-specific anatomical baselines remain limited in cetaceans.

Seascape genomics of common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) reveals adaptive diversity linked to regional and local oceanography [PDF]

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Background High levels of standing genomic variation in wide-ranging marine species may enhance prospects for their long-term persistence. Patterns of connectivity and adaptation in such species are often thought to be influenced by spatial factors ...

Investigating the Predation Risk of Coastal Dolphins via the Presence of Shark Bite Scars Across Southeast Queensland, Australia. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Shark bite scars were analysed on coastal dolphins in southeast Queensland, Australia to compare the predation risk between species and habitats. Australian humpback dolphins (Sousa sahulensis) exhibited the highest bite rates and individuals found in sheltered waters had higher shark bite scar prevalence than open waters.

Common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) bycatch in New Zealand commercial trawl fisheries. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Marine mammals are regularly reported as bycatch in commercial and artisanal fisheries, but data are often insufficient to allow assessment of these incidental mortalities.
