Auditory oddball responses in Tursiops truncatus [PDF]
Two previous studies suggest that bottlenose dolphins exhibit an “oddball” auditory evoked potential (AEP) to stimulus trains where one of two stimuli has a low probability of occurrence relative to another.

Burrunan babble: acoustic characterization of the whistles and burst-pulse sounds of a critically endangered dolphin [PDF]
Understanding the vocal repertoire of delphinid species is essential for effective long-term studies. In this research, we present the first quantitative analysis of whistle and burst-pulse sound characteristics for the critically endangered Burrunan ...

First isolation of Prototheca bovis from a bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) [PDF]
To our knowledge, this is the first report of Prototheca sp. isolated from the digestive tract of a dolphin. A captive-born female bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) weighing 165 kg that was housed at Enoshima Aquarium presented with a slightly ...

An exploratory investigation into the microbial and cyanobacterial presence on skin epibiotia and orofacial lesions in estuarine common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) through metabarcoding [PDF]
Estuarine common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) inhabiting the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) have been documented with light brown skin lesions, loosely categorized as “algal sheens”.

Evidence for distinct coastal and offshore communities of bottlenose dolphins in the north east Atlantic. [PDF]
Bottlenose dolphin stock structure in the northeast Atlantic remains poorly understood. However, fine scale photo-id data have shown that populations can comprise multiple overlapping social communities.

Aggressive Behaviors of Adult Male Atlantic Spotted Dolphins: Making Signals Count during Intraspecific and Interspecific Conflicts [PDF]
Some species exhibit behavioral plasticity by altering their aggressive behavior based on their opponent. Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis) and bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) are two sympatric species resident to the northern ...

A comparative analysis of the karyotypes of three dolphins – Tursiops truncatus Montagu, 1821, Tursiops australis Charlton-Robb et al., 2011, and Grampus griseus Cuvier, 1812 [PDF]
The aim of this study is to produce G-banded karyotypes of three dolphin species, Tursiops truncatus Montagu, 1821, Tursiops australis Charlton-Robb et al., 2011, and Grampus griseus Cuvier, 1812, and to determine if any differences between the species ...

Occurrence, residency patterns and habitat use of the bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus truncatus, on two Marine Protected Areas in Southeastern Brazil [PDF]
The common bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, is widely distributed. However, information about its ecology and behavior in Brazilian waters is scarce especially about the ‘offshore’ ecotype, an Evolutionarily Significant Unit in the Southwest ...
