Genetic Diversity and Inter‐Specific Phylogeny of Three Sympatric Cetacean Species (Stenella spp.) in Thai Territorial Waters Based on Mitochondrial and Nuclear DNA Markers [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThree Stenella species, S. attenuata, S. coeruleoalba, and S. longirostris, are widely distributed throughout the Indo‐Pacific region, but genetic information on each population remains scarce. This gap is particularly notable in Thai waters, where these

The Caprera Canyon (north-eastern Sardinia): A hotspot of cetacean diversity in the western Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe Caprera Canyon, a submarine canyon system off Sardinia in the western Mediterranean, was thought to be an important cetacean habitat, though studies on the area remained limited.

Investigating the presence of different bottlenose dolphin ecotypes in the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe common bottlenose dolphin is a cosmopolitan species that can be found worldwide in all oceans except polar and sub-polar waters. This wide distribution is associated with a certain level of morphological variation, which seems consistent with the ...

Anthropic Pressure on Cetaceans Stranded Along the Ligurian Coast Within the Pelagos Sanctuary: A Case Series [PDF]
AnimalsData collected by C. Re. Di. Ma over a 3-year period (2020–2022) were considered to assess anthropic pressure on cetaceans living in the Ligurian sea. Out of a total of 37 stranded cetaceans, a complete post mortem examination was performed on 23 cases ...

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.

Alkenones in oceanic odontocetes as a potential proxy of environmental water temperature
Ecological Indicators, 2021 The alkenones C37:2 and C37:3 are produced exclusively by some haptophyte species. Their relative proportion (Uk’37 index) may be used to infer the water temperature where the synthesising haptophyte lived.

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.
