Dolphin Morbillivirus Epizootic Resurgence, Mediterranean Sea

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
In July 2007, >100 striped dolphins, Stenella coeruleoalba, were found dead along the coast of the Spanish Mediterranean. Of 10 dolphins tested, 7 were positive for a virus strain closely related to the dolphin morbillivirus that was isolated during a ...

Social Structure and Temporal Distribution of Tursiops truncatus in the Gulf of Taranto (Central Mediterranean Sea)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
This study aims to provide information on the site fidelity, residency patterns and the social structures of bottlenose dolphins occurring in the Gulf of Taranto in order to supply effective indications supporting the future management and conservation ...

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

The Social Role of Vocal Complexity in Striped Dolphins

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Many gregarious species require complex patterns of communication for maintaining coordinated behaviors, articulated social structure and group cohesion.

Utterance evolution: the road to generative, combinatorial communicators

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Language has long been considered uniquely complex in the animal kingdom; however, animal research over the last decade has begun to challenge some long‐standing premises about exactly which language capacities are uniquely human. The task of resolving why and how complex communication systems evolve, particularly human language, has ...

Imitation of Computer-Generated Sounds by Wild Atlantic Spotted Dolphins (Stenella frontalis) [PDF]

Animal Behavior and Cognition
Since 1985 a community of wild Atlantic spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis) have been observed underwater in the Bahamas. A human-worn, acoustic underwater two-way communication interface was developed and deployed from 2013-2016.

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

Modeling Non‐GM Segregation Strategies at the Grain Elevator

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective As new opportunities arise for non‐genetically modified (non‐GM) products in grain markets, segregation becomes crucial but challenging in commodity‐friendly infrastructures such as grain elevators. This study developed probabilistic models using Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate three segregation strategies ...

Stable isotope ecology and interspecific dietary overlap among dolphins in the Northeast Atlantic

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Dolphins are mobile apex marine predators. Over the past three decades, warm-water adapted dolphin species (short-beaked common and striped) have expanded their ranges northward and become increasingly abundant in British waters.
