Tracing Time's Footprints: Exploring Feeding Ecology and Historical Changes of Mediterranean Common Dolphin (Delphinus delphis) Over Two Centuries

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) presents an enigmatic natural history during the past centuries. Widely prevalent in the 19th and early 20th centuries, it faced a significant decline across most of the basin by the late 1960s caused by multiple anthropogenic threats, including culling, bycatch, prey depletion, and habitat ...

A Detailed Characterization of the Whistle Repertoire of Fraser's Dolphins (Lagenodelphis hosei) From the Lesser Antilles

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Fraser's dolphin (Lagenodelphis hosei) remains poorly studied due to its elusive behavior, rarity, and preference for deep offshore habitats. While dolphins use frequency‐modulated whistles for communication, detailed acoustic descriptions exist for only a few species.

Geographic variability in the acoustic parameters of striped dolphin's (Stenella coeruleoalba) whistles

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2013
Geographic variation in the acoustic features of whistles emitted by the striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) from the Atlantic Ocean (Azores and Canary Islands) and the Mediterranean was investigated. Ten parameters (signal duration, beginning, end, minimum and maximum frequency, the number of inflection points, of steps, of minima and maxima in ...
