Morphology of the hyoid apparatus of some species of odontocetes from southern Brazil. [PDF]
Biotemas, 2009 The hyoid apparatus of odontocetes serves as a major attachment point for the muscles and ligaments that subserve breathing, sound production and swallowing.

Mammal Review, Volume 55, Issue 2, April 2025.This review identifies key causes of morbidity and mortality in Southern Hemisphere small Odontoceti, highlighting significant anthropogenic threats and the enhanced need for conservation strategies. Key findings include high rates of entanglements and a diverse range of infectious pathogens. Abstract Marine mammals serve as sentinels for environmental

Retrospective Study of Fishery Interactions in Stranded Cetaceans, Canary Islands
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020 Estimating cetacean interactions with fishery activities is challenging. Bycatch and chronic entanglements are responsible for thousands of cetacean deaths per year globally.

Harbour Porpoises Are Flexible Predators Displaying Context‐Dependent Foraging Behaviours
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2024.This study provides the first record of previously undescribed foraging behaviours of harbour porpoises. Our results indicate use of context‐dependent foraging strategies, suggesting that porpoises are flexible predators that use conditional foraging strategies and adapt their behaviour in response to environmental characteristics.

Uterine Leiomyoma and Prolapse in a Live-stranded Atlantic Spotted Dolphin (Stenella frontalis)
, 2015 A uterine prolapse associated with a leiomyoma (fibroid) was observed in a live-stranded Atlantic spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis). A 7 cm segment of the reproductive tract including the cervix, uterine neck and caudal uterine body had intussuscepted

Effects of emigration on home range and behavior of Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis)
Academia BiologyAnimals maintain home ranges—areas utilized for gathering food, mating, and caring for offspring—but will relocate when they cannot subsist on resources within their range.

Feeding mode drives mandibular shape in extant Delphinidae
Journal of Zoology, Volume 324, Issue 3, Page 187-200, November 2024.Delphinidae exhibit fascinating morphological adaptations linked to their feeding strategy, biosonar mode and habitat. This study integrates phylogenetic and 2D geometric morphometric analyses to investigate the adaptive significance of mandible morphological variation in response to ecological pressures in Delphinidae.

On the Panniculus Carnosus of the Bridled Dolphin (Stenella Frontalis) [PDF]
, 1971 Apparently little work has been done on the anatomy of Cetacae, particularly of Odontoceti, in contrast to the comparatively large number of studies on their classification and ecology.

Seascape genetics of the Atlantic Spotted Dolphin (Stenella frontalis) based on mitochondrial DNA
, 2021 The Atlantic spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis) is endemic to tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Throughout its distribution, both geographic distance and environmental variation may contribute to population ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 5, July 2024.Abstract The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a highly polymorphic gene family that is crucial in immunity, and its diversity can be effectively used as a fitness marker for populations. Despite this, MHC remains poorly characterised in non‐model species (e.g., cetaceans: whales, dolphins and porpoises) as high gene copy number variation ...
