Myoglobin Concentration and Oxygen Stores in Different Functional Muscle Groups from Three Small Cetacean Species

Animals, 2021
Compared with terrestrial mammals, marine mammals possess increased muscle myoglobin concentrations (Mb concentration, g Mb · 100g−1 muscle), enhancing their onboard oxygen (O2) stores and their aerobic dive limit. Although myoglobin is not homogeneously

Hybridization in the wild between Tursiops truncatus (Montagu 1821) and Delphinus delphis (Linnaeus 1758) [PDF]

, 2019
A case of intergeneric hybridization in the wild between a female bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) and a short-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus delphis), considered members of 'vulnerable' and 'endangered' subpopulations in the Mediterranean ...

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of the common dolphin Delphinus delphis (Cetacea: Delphinidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018
We report the complete mitogenome of the common dolphin, Delphinus delphis. Overall structure of the 16,387 bp mitogenome was very similar to those of other delphinid species, including the ancient D. delphis individuals.

Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) aggressive behavior towards other cetacean species in the western Mediterranean

Scientific Reports, 2021
Aggressive behavior of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) towards conspecifics is widely described, but they have also often been reported attacking and killing harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) around the world. However, very few reports exist

Are epizoites biological indicators of a western Mediterranean striped dolphin die-off? [PDF]

, 1994
During a die-off of Mediterranean striped dolphins Stenella coeruleoalba in 1990-91, 82 individuals stranded on the Spanish coast were examined for crustacean ectoparasites and epizoites.

Genetic heterogeneity of dolphin morbilliviruses detected in the Spanish Mediterranean in inter-epizootic period

BMC Veterinary Research, 2018
Background In the last 20 years, Cetacean Morbillivirus (CeMV) has been responsible for many die-offs in marine mammals worldwide, as clearly exemplified by the three dolphin morbillivirus (DMV) epizootics of 1990–1992, 2006–2008 and 2011 that affected ...

Mitochondrial DNA diversity and genetic structure of striped dolphin Stenella coeruleoalba in the Northern Ionian Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
In the framework of global and EU policies focused on stopping the loss of biodiversity process, deepening the genetic variability, especially of populations species identified as threatened, is crucial for defining conservation units and developing ...

Primeiros registros dos golfinhos Stenella coeruleoalba, Stenella cfr. plagiodon e Steno bredanensis para o sul do Brasil, com notas osteológicas

Brazilian Journal of Oceanography, 1980
Stenella coeruleoalba is a dolphin widely distributed in temperate and tropical waters. This species is recorded for our marine fauna on the basis of a 2.35 m long specimen found at 20 km North of the East rocky jetty on the access channel into Lagoa dos
