Stable isotopes of captive cetaceans (killer whales and bottlenose dolphins).
There is currently a great deal of interest in using stable isotope methods to investigate diet, trophic level and migration in wild cetaceans. In order to correctly interpret the results stemming from these methods, it is crucial to understand how diet isotopic values are reflected in consumer tissues. In this study, we investigated patterns of isotopic discrimination between diet and blood co...
متن کاملWhales, dolphins or fishes? The ethnotaxonomy of cetaceans in São Sebastião, Brazil
The local knowledge of human populations about the natural world has been addressed through ethnobiological studies, especially concerning resources uses and their management. Several criteria, such as morphology, ecology, behavior, utility and salience, have been used by local communities to classify plants and animals. Studies regarding fishers' knowledge on cetaceans in the world, especially...
متن کاملSonar versus whales: noise may disrupt neural activity in deep-diving cetaceans.
INTRODUCTION In humans, and other terrestrial animals, acoustic and non-acoustic detrimental effects of noise have been described long ago (1,2). In the recent years there is an increase in public and expert interest in the potential damaging consequences of acoustic pollution to marine life. The general increase in underwater noise and the use of sonar (1,2) have been associated with behaviora...
متن کاملPilot Whales Attracted to Killer Whale Sounds: Acoustically-Mediated Interspecific Interactions in Cetaceans
In cetaceans' communities, interactions between individuals of different species are often observed in the wild. Yet, due to methodological and technical challenges very little is known about the mediation of these interactions and their effect on cetaceans' behavior. Killer whales (Orcinus orca) are a highly vocal species and can be both food competitors and potential predators of many other c...
متن کاملribosomal dna intracellular journey and the new upcoming ribosomal organelle
human mitochondrial dna (mtdna) is 16,569 base pairs (bp) in length, coding for 37 genes. during the course of evolution, nearly all the genes expressing ribosomal proteins and ribosomal rnas (rrna) genes have been transferred from the mitochondria to the nucleus. however, mitochondrial dna contains two ribosomal rnas genes (12s and 16s), which have not yet transferred to the nucleus. these two...
