Ecological Niche Modeling of Three Species of Stenella Dolphins in the Caribbean Basin, With Application to the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Dolphins of the genus Stenella occur in pelagic waters of both tropical and warm-temperate oceans. Three species, the Atlantic spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis), the pantropical spotted dolphin (S. attenuata), and the spinner dolphin (S. longirostris)

Structure and phylogeography of two tropical predators, spinner (Stenella longirostris) and pantropical spotted (S. attenuata) dolphins, from SNP data [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
Little is known about global patterns of genetic connectivity in pelagic dolphins, including how circumtropical pelagic dolphins spread globally following the rapid and recent radiation of the subfamily delphininae.

Long-term trends of epibionts reflect Mediterranean striped dolphin abundance shifts caused by morbillivirus epidemics. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
This original research piece demonstrates, through empirical and theoretical modelling approaches, that the epibionts of striped dolphins indicate dolphin abundance shifts caused by epidemics of dolphin morbillivirus (DMV). In addition, we provide the first SIR model to investigate the epidemiology of DMV in western Mediterranean striped dolphins ...

Concentrations of bisphenols and phthalate esters in the muscle of Mediterranean striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba).

Chemosphere, 2023
Bisphenols (BPs) and phthalate esters (PAEs) are important compounds for the plastics industry, also called "everywhere chemicals" due to their ubiquity in daily use products. Both chemical groups are well-known environmental contaminants, whose presence

First acoustic evidence of signature whistle production by spinner dolphins (Stenella longirostris)

Animal Cognition, 2023
A dolphin’s signature whistle (SW) is a distinctive acoustic signal, issued in a bout pattern of unique frequency modulation contours; it allows individuals belonging to a given group to recognize each other and, consequently, to maintain contact and ...

Comparative embryology of Delphinapterus leucas (beluga whale), Balaena mysticetus (bowhead whale), and Stenella attenuata (pan‐tropical spotted dolphin) (Cetacea: Mammalia)

Journal of morphology, 2022
Embryogenesis of cetaceans (whales, dolphins, porpoises) is best known in Stenella attenuata, the pan‐tropical spotted dolphin, based on a remarkably complete and well‐studied prenatal ontogenetic series.

Trends of banned pesticides and PCBs in different tissues of striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) stranded in the Northwestern Mediterranean reflect changing contamination patterns.

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021
Although banned for years, organochlorine pesticides and PCBs continue to affect aquatic life, dolphins being particularly exposed. The concentrations of 31 PCB congeners, and 15 banned pesticides or metabolites were measured in 5 tissues of 68 striped ...

Evidence for Unknown Sarcocystis-Like Infection in Stranded Striped Dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) from the Ligurian Sea, Italy

Animals, 2021
Simple Summary Two stranded striped dolphins presented meningoenchepalitic lesions associated with the presence of unknown protozoan tissue cysts. The present study aimed at fully characterizing these previously undescribed parasites. Light microscopy re-

Age estimation and growth of striped dolphins Stenella coeruleoalba stranded along the coasts of south-western Italy

The European Zoological Journal, 2021
The knowledge of demographic traits such as longevity, growth rates and age at sexual maturity is crucial for understanding the structure of a population in its natural environment and implementing appropriate strategies for its management and ...

Portable Molecular Diagnostics for Cetacean Morbillivirus: Development of a Reverse Transcription Insulated Isothermal PCR (RT-iiPCR) for Global Surveillance. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) drives recurrent unusual‐mortality events, yet surveillance is uneven where laboratory capacity is limited. We developed a portable reverse transcription‐insulated isothermal PCR (RT‐iiPCR) assay targeting a conserved phosphoprotein (P)‐gene segment and evaluated analytical performance, tissue‐level clinical sensitivity ...
