Genetic Diversity and Inter‐Specific Phylogeny of Three Sympatric Cetacean Species (Stenella spp.) in Thai Territorial Waters Based on Mitochondrial and Nuclear DNA Markers [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Three Stenella species, S. attenuata, S. coeruleoalba, and S. longirostris, are widely distributed throughout the Indo‐Pacific region, but genetic information on each population remains scarce. This gap is particularly notable in Thai waters, where these

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 ...

Trace Elements in Stenella coeruleoalba: Assessment of Marine Environmental Pollution and Dolphin Health Status [PDF]

Animals
Heavy metals are environmental contaminants and can easily accumulate and biomagnify in various marine species (fishes and mammalians) at the top of the aquatic food chain.

The genome sequence of the striped dolphin, Stenella coeruleoalba (Meyen, 1833) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual male Stenella coeruleoalba (the striped dolphin; Chordata; Mammalia; Artiodactyla; Delphinidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 2,691.40 megabases.

Cetacean Habitat Use and Occurrence in Fort-de-France Bay (Martinique) [PDF]

Animals
While coastal species have been widely studied, active port areas in tropical island regions with intense maritime traffic remain critical, but habitats for cetaceans within the Caribbean have not been thoroughly studied.

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)

Metal Levels in Striped Dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) and Common Dolphins (Delphinus delphis) Stranded along the Sicilian Coastlines of the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

Animals
Dolphins, top predators of the aquatic food chain, are used as sentinel species of marine pollution as they are sensitive to environmental changes and able to accumulate a large content of contaminants.

How large should whales be? [PDF]

, 2013
The evolution and distribution of species body sizes for terrestrial mammals is well-explained by a macroevolutionary tradeoff between short-term selective advantages and long-term extinction risks from increased species body size, unfolding above the 2g

Mitochondrial diversity and inter-specific phylogeny among dolphins of the genus Stenella in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean.

PLoS ONE, 2022
The genus Stenella is comprised of five species occurring in all oceans. Despite its wide distribution, genetic diversity information on these species is still scarce especially in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean.

Trophic relationships and habitat preferences of delphinids from the southeastern Brazilian coast determined by carbon and nitrogen stable isotope composition. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
To investigate the foraging habitats of delphinids in southeastern Brazil, we analyzed stable carbon (δ(13)C) and nitrogen (δ(15)N) isotopes in muscle samples of the following 10 delphinid species: Sotalia guianensis, Stenella frontalis, Tursiops ...
