Sex-specific impact of inbreeding on pathogen load in the striped dolphin. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci, 2020
The impact of inbreeding on fitness has been widely studied and provides consequential inference about adaptive potential and the impact on survival for reduced and fragmented natural populations. Correlations between heterozygosity and fitness are common in the literature, but they rarely inform about the likely mechanisms.

Post-epizootic chronic dolphin morbillivirus infection in Mediterranean striped dolphins Stenella coeruleoalba [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2011
Dolphin morbillivirus (DMV) has caused 2 epizootics with high mortality rates on the Spanish Mediterranean coast, in 1990 and 2006-07, mainly affecting striped dolphins Stenella coeruleoalba. Following the first epizootic unusual DMV infections affecting only the central nervous system of striped dolphins were found, with histological features similar ...

Flipper development in the Mediterranean striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) [PDF]

The Anatomical Record, 1996
Studies of population biology are scarce in Mediterranean striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) mostly because of the lack of samples. Until now, studies of physical maturity, growth, and development of the flipper bones were not available for this species in the Mediterranean.The osteological features and metric characters of the pectoral limbs of ...

Linking by-caught cetacean traits to fishing techniques: Insights from two species of small cetaceans. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract By‐catch is one of the main threats currently looming over small cetaceans worldwide. Improving knowledge of the interactions between fishing activities and small cetaceans is paramount to design cost‐effective mitigation measures. In particular, not all individuals within a population may be exposed to the same by‐catch risk: in dolphins ...
