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 ...

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

Aggressive Behaviors of Adult Male Atlantic Spotted Dolphins: Making Signals Count during Intraspecific and Interspecific Conflicts [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2021 Some species exhibit behavioral plasticity by altering their aggressive behavior based on their opponent. Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis) and bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) are two sympatric species resident to the northern ...

A Dolphin is a Dolphin is a Dolphin? Multimedia Enriched Learning Objects in NEMO [PDF]
2009 Ninth IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies, 2009 In this paper we present a concept for integrating Multimedia-Enriched Learning Objects (MELOs) within a unifying technological framework for schools. First, we discuss the general role of objects for child development and learning. We then outline the framework architecture of the proposed Networked Environment for Multimedia Objects (NEMO ...
