The impact of urbanisation on social behaviour: a comprehensive review
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 1003-1035, April 2026.ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a key driver of global environmental change and presents animals with novel stressors and challenges. It can fundamentally influence social behaviour and has the potential to reshape within‐ and between‐species social interactions. Given the role of social behaviour in reproductive fitness and survival, understanding how social

Visual lateralization in wild striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) in response to stimuli with different degrees of familiarity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Apart from findings on both functional and motor asymmetries in captive aquatic mammals, only few studies have focused on lateralized behaviour of these species in the wild.

Insecticide pyrethroids in liver of striped dolphin from the Mediterranean Sea
Environmental Pollution, 2017 Pyrethroid pesticides were analysed in liver of striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) from the Alboran Sea (south of Spain, Mediterranean Sea). The occurrence and bioaccumulation of pyrethroid insecticides in marine mammal tissues from the northern hemisphere had never been determined before.

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 4, April 2026.The absolute and relative volume of major sensory and integrative brain regions of the southern bluefin tuna Thunnus maccoyii are examined using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A dominant cerebellum projects into the midbrain ventricular space, while the optic tectum represents a smaller proportion of total brain volume than previously estimated ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.During a survey in June 2025, researchers recorded a presumed Risso's dolphin calf swimming in echelon position within a bottlenose dolphin group off the Catalan coast (north‐eastern Iberian Peninsula). Two possible interpretations are discussed: (1) it may represent the first hybrid calf reported in the Mediterranean, or (2) it may be the first ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT We compiled 46 years of cetacean strandings in the Algarve, Portugal, describing temporal–spatial patterns, size–sex structure, and causes of death (COD). We analyzed national records and years with a dedicated regional stranding network (SN) to assess annual/seasonal trends, spatial hotspots, and compare biometrics and COD.
