Enhancing Intra‐Specific Population Genetic Studies of Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Irish Waters by Integrating Least Invasive Sampling and Environmental DNA (eDNA)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Three populations of bottlenose dolphins are found in Irish waters. This study used direct sampling methods to expand the sample size and confirm the distinctiveness of these populations, including a range expansion outside of the Shannon Estuary SAC.

Is Blood Thicker Than Water? The Influence of Kin Within a Bull Shark Social Network

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study investigates how kinship (“kinfluence”) shapes social structure in an aggregation of adult bull sharks in Fiji by integrating genomic relatedness, pedigree reconstruction, and detailed behavioral data. It reveals that while genetic relatedness has a small but significant influence on social behavior, especially among males, kin‐category ...

Tursiops Gervais 1855

open access: yes, 2018
Genus Tursiops Gervais, 1855 The Genus Tursiops was previously viewed as monospecific (Mead & Brownell 2005). The current taxonomy by Mead and Brownell (2005) includes two species, T. aduncus in Indian and western North Pacific Ocean and T. truncatus with a worldwide distribution. Both species occur in the waters of Korea.

A Comparison between Passive airDNA Collection and Extraction Methods on the Recovered Terrestrial Vertebrate Assemblage

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Filtering airDNA, as with other biomonitoring tools, requires rigorous methodological testing before widespread implementation. Here, we assess the comparative performance of three collection matrices: medical gauze, paraffin gauze and PCR plate seals, alongside four readily available extraction kits: Qiagen DNeasy Blood & Tissue, Qiagen PowerSoil Pro,

Life History and Reproductive Parameters in an Increasingly Abundant Killer Whale Population

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
In the coastal waters of the eastern North Pacific, multiple discrete populations of killer whales exhibit distinct patterns in demography and abundance that are partially captured by population vital rates. We used 50 years of photographic identification data to estimate parameters relevant to maturation, fecundity, and mortality for a unique ...

Social information about others' affective states in a human‐altered world

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1311-1325, August 2026.
Faced with anthropogenic change, animals now encounter challenges different from their evolutionary past. To cope with such challenges, animals may use social information about others' affective states to guide their decisions. Considering affective states of wild animals could have important implications for animal welfare and wildlife conservation ...
