Occurrence of Brucella ceti in striped dolphins from Italian Seas
PLOS ONE, 2020 Brucella ceti infections have been increasingly reported in cetaceans, although a very limited characterization of Mediterranean Brucella spp. isolates has been previously reported and relatively few data exist about brucellosis among cetaceans in Italy. To address this gap, we studied 8 cases of B.

Stomach contents of cetaceans in the Alboran Sea and Gulf of Cadiz.
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2014 This work describes the diet, through the analysis of stomach contents, of different species of cetaceans in Andalusian waters. Stomachs of 53 specimens, 36 striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba), 13 common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) and 4 Risso's ...

Diet of striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) in southern Spanish waters
Marine Mammal Science, 2022 AbstractIdentifiable food remains were analyzed from 46 stomachs of striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) stranded in southern Spain between 2007 and 2014. Results suggest that the species feeds mainly on mesopelagic and neritic fish, but also on oceanic squids.

Forebrain neuroanatomy of the neonatal and juvenile dolphin (T. truncatus & S. coeruloalba)
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2015 Knowledge of dolphin functional neuroanatomy mostly derives from post-mortem studies and non-invasive approaches (i.e. magnetic resonance imaging), due to limitations in experimentation on cetaceans.

Primary structure of striped dolphin renal metallothionein II.
Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1988 The complete amino acid sequence of metallothionein II isolated from kidneys of the striped dolphin, Stenella coeruleoalba, is reported. The sequence was established by a gas phase protein sequencer using the fragments obtained by cyanogen bromide cleavage and protease digestions of the S-carboxamidomethylated protein.

Mercury and selenium in stranded Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins and implications for their trophic transfer in food chains. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 As top predators in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) of China, Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (Sousa chinensis) are bioindicators for examining regional trends of environmental contaminants in the PRE. We examined samples from stranded S.
