ABSTRACT Biphonation—the simultaneous production of two independent fundamental frequencies within a single vocalization—is a prominent feature of killer whale calls, yet the factors influencing the presence and intensity of heterodyne frequencies, which arise from interactions between these fundamentals, remain poorly understood. We analyzed long‐term

Comprehension of signs by dolphins (Tursiops truncatus).
The authors assessed the ability of 6 captive dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) to comprehend without explicit training 3 human communicative signs (pointing, directed gaze, and replica). Pointing consisted of indicating the target item with the index finger and a fully extended arm.

INTRACEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE IN A BOTTLENOSED DOLPHIN (Tursiops truncatus) [PDF]
A neurologic condition closely resembling a common human disease, hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage, is described in a captive dolphin. Motor deficits and the possibiltiy that behavioral changes resulted in the animal's being attacked and driven off by its herdmates, are discussed in terms of damage resulting from the hemorrhagic lesion.

Genetic Identification and Population Assignment of Extralimital Sightings of Hector's Dolphins
ABSTRACT Genetic identification from extralimital sightings can determine whether an individual comes from a small or large population, with conservation implications. Such is the case for the endangered Hector's and critically endangered Māui dolphins of Aotearoa/New Zealand. We compare the success of three opportunistic sampling methodologies (biopsy,
