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.

The Social Role of Vocal Complexity in Striped Dolphins [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Many gregarious species require complex patterns of communication for maintaining coordinated behaviors, articulated social structure and group cohesion. In mammal species, social complexity has been considered the driving force for the development of advanced acoustic communication systems.

Temporal and geographical changes in the intestinal helminth fauna of striped dolphins, Stenella coeruleoalba, in the western Mediterranean: a long-term analysis (1982 - 2016)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Temporal and geographical changes in the infections of intestinal helminths of striped dolphins, Stenella coeruleoalba were investigated in waters off the Spanish Mediterranean coast based on a sample of 233 dolphins stranded during 1982-2016.

Assessment of the interactions between cetaceans and fisheries at the south of the Cetacean Migration Corridor and neighboring waters (Western Mediterranean)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The Cetacean Migration Corridor is an important marine protected area for cetacean species in the Western Mediterranean, and part of its waters constitute the main fishing grounds for the Valencia region (East Spain) fishing fleet.

Stable isotope ecology and interspecific dietary overlap among dolphins in the Northeast Atlantic

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Dolphins are mobile apex marine predators. Over the past three decades, warm-water adapted dolphin species (short-beaked common and striped) have expanded their ranges northward and become increasingly abundant in British waters.

Understanding the Interactions Between Cetaceans and Other Megafauna With the Albacore Tuna Fishery: A Case Study From the Cyprus’ Pelagic Longline Fishery

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Depredation by cetaceans on fisheries is a major issue globally, both in terms of conservation and fisheries economics. The present study conducted in Cyprus, Eastern Mediterranean Sea, aimed to understand the extent, level, and type of cetacean ...

Luteinized Ovarian Cysts in Mediterranean Striped Dolphins [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1998
The morbillivirus epizootic during 1990 to 1992 in Mediterranean striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) off the Mediterranean coast of Spain diminished these populations directly through mortalities, and indirectly through loss of normal fecundity. High levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) also were detected in stranded animals. In addition to

Dynamic Habitat Models Reflect Interannual Movement of Cetaceans Within the California Current Ecosystem

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The distribution of wide-ranging cetacean species often cross national or jurisdictional boundaries, which creates challenges for monitoring populations and managing anthropogenic impacts, especially if data are only available for a portion of the ...

Rhabdomyolysis and Myoglobinuric Nephrosis (Capture Myopathy) in a Striped Dolphin [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2007
This report describes delayed myoglobinuric capture myopathy in a striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) found stranded alive on the coast of Fuerteventura (Canary Islands, Spain). The animal was transported to Gran Canaria where it died 48 hr after stranding.

Specificity of Stenurus (Metastrongyloidea: Pseudaliidae) infections in odontocetes stranded along the north-west Spanish coast

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2022
Parasites extracted from the lungs and the pterygoid sinus complex of 6 species of odontocetes stranded along the north-west Spanish coast (Northeast Atlantic) between 2009 and 2019 were morphologically identified.
