Guiana dolphins use mangrove margins as a natural barrier to chase fish prey

Ethology, 2023
AbstractThe behavioral plasticity among and within cetacean species can be driven by their prey sources, local adaptations to environmental features, and/or interactions with human activities. One of the tactics displayed by cetaceans is the barrier feeding, in which individuals or groups herd fish schools against natural and non‐natural barriers to ...

Habitat use by the Guiana dolphin (Sotalia guianensis) (Cetartiodactyla: Delphinidae) in southeastern Brazil

Regional Studies in Marine Science, 2021
Abstract The coastal habit and site fidelity reported for Sotalia guianensis make this species especially vulnerable to human activities. Thus, ecological studies focusing on the habitat use of the populations are essential for S. guianensis protection, as it helps to identify critical areas for conservation.

Evidence for signature whistles in Guiana dolphins (Sotalia guianensis) in Ilhéus, northeastern Brazil

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2014
Signature whistles have been widely studied in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). A recent study suggested the occurrence of signature whistles in Guiana dolphins (Sotalia guianensis) but could not identify the whistlers. The objective of this study is to describe the whistle characteristics in the population of S.

Variation in Guiana dolphin parental care according to calf age class

acta ethologica, 2018
An extended period of parental care is fundamental for survival of cetacean offspring. Although qualitative descriptions of parental care and mother-calf spatial relationships are available for several species, studies using a quantitative approach throughout development of offspring are scarce.

Guiana Dolphins (Sotalia guianensis) as Marine Ecosystem Sentinels: Ecotoxicology and Emerging Diseases

2013
Guiana dolphins (Sotalia guianensis) are small cetaceans that inhabit coastal regions down to a 50 m depth. As a coastally distributed species, they are exposed to a variety of human-induced risks that include passive fishing nets, persistent environmental pollution, and emerging diseases. As a top predatorS. guianensis occupies an important ecological

Guiana Dolphin long term survey by deep learning

The Guiana dolphin (Sotalia guianensis), commonly known as estuarine dolphin is one of the ten dolphins in great danger of extinction, currently classified as “near threatened” in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (IUCN, 2019). Indeed this species has restricted global distribution [1] as it is only found across the South-Western Atlantic ...

Captive-born intergeneric hybrid of a Guiana and bottlenose dolphin: Sotalia guianensis×Tursiops truncatus

Zoo Biology, 2009
Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and Guiana dolphin (Sotalia guianensis) live in sympatry along the Caribbean Coast of Central and South America and social interactions between these species have been described in the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica, including sexual encounters.

Rings of Power: evidence of mud ring feeding performed by Guiana dolphins

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom
Abstract To capture prey more efficiently, cetaceans can display a wide range of foraging tactics to separate individual prey. Barrier feeding tactics are performed to restrict prey movements, using natural and non-natural barriers and some species can even create barriers with their own bodies.

Whistle variability of Guiana dolphins in South America: Latitudinal variation or acoustic adaptation?

Marine Mammal Science, 2018
AbstractA previous comparison of whistles using data sampled at 48 kHz suggested that certain frequency parameters vary along a latitudinal gradient. This geographical pattern may be biased because whistles sampled at higher frequencies could potentially have very different frequency contents.
