Vocalization behaviors in captive bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and rough-toothed dolphins (Steno bredanensis). [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Odontocetes rely on vocalizations for navigation, foraging, and communication. Their vocalization patterns are associated with environmental conditions and behavioral contexts, particularly in captive populations. This study investigated the vocalization

Tissue Element Levels and Heavy Metal Burdens in Bottlenose Dolphins That Stranded in the Mississippi Sound Surrounding the 2019 Unusual Mortality Event [PDF]

Toxics
In 2019, an unusual mortality event (UME) affected bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Mississippi Sound (MSS) following an extended dual opening of the Bonnet Carré Spillway (BCS), which prevents flooding in New Orleans. This resulted in low

Drone-Based Assessment of Marine Megafauna off Wave-Exposed Sandy Beaches

Remote Sensing, 2023
The wave-impacted waters off exposed sandy beaches support marine megafauna, including dolphins, whales, sharks, rays and turtles. To characterise variation in megafaunal assemblages in this challenging habitat, we used drone-based remote sensing to ...

The environment as a driver of immune and endocrine responses in dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Immune and endocrine responses play a critical role in allowing animals to adjust to environmental perturbations. We measured immune and endocrine related markers in multiple samples from individuals from two managed-care care dolphin groups (n = 82 ...
