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

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