Demographics of the Disappearing Bottlenose Dolphin in Argentina: A Common Species on Its Way Out?
Populations of the once common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) in Argentina have precipitously declined throughout the country in the past decades. Unfortunately, local declines of common species are easily overlooked when establishing priorities for conservation. In this study, demographics of what may well be the last remaining resident population in the country were assessed using ma...
متن کاملFemale reproductive success and calf survival in a North Sea coastal bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) population
Between-female variation in reproductive output provides a strong measure of individual fitness and a quantifiable measure of the health of a population which may be highly informative to management. In the present study, we examined reproductive traits in female bottlenose dolphins from the east coast of Scotland using longitudinal sightings data collected over twenty years. From a total of 10...
متن کاملBOTTLENOSE DOLPHIN (Tursiops truncatus): Western North Atlantic Coastal Stock STOCK DEFINITION AND GEOGRAPHIC RANGE Stock Structure of the Coastal Morphotype A. Latitudinal distribution and structure along the coast
The coastal morphotype is continuously distributed along the Atlantic coast south of Long Island, around peninsula Florida and along the Gulf of Mexico coast. On the basis of differences in mtDNA haplotype frequencies, however, Curry (1997) concluded that the nearshore animals in the northern Gulf of Mexico and the western North Atlantic were significantly different and represent separate stock...
متن کاملIndo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) habitat preference in a heterogeneous, urban, coastal environment
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Limited information is available regarding the habitat preference of the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) in South Australian estuarine environments. The need to overcome this paucity of information is crucial for management and conservation initiatives. This preliminary study investigates the space-time patterns of habitat preference by the Indo-Pacif...
متن کاملTwo morbilliviruses implicated in bottlenose dolphin epizootics.
Sequence analysis was performed on viral RNA isolated from bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) that died during two chronologically and geographically separate epizootics in North America. Both dolphin morbillivirus (DMV) and porpoise morbil-livirus (PMV) were detected in bottlenose dolphins that died during the 1987 U.S. Atlantic coast epizootic. Our results indicate not only that these v...
