Seasonal population parameters reveal sex-related dynamics of common bottlenose dolphins in open waters of the southwestern Gulf of Mexico

Jaime Bolanos-Jimenez et al.

Summary: Research on the sex-specific population dynamics of bottlenose dolphins off the Alvarado Lagoon System in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico revealed that resident females are usually more abundant than males. The population parameters were influenced by high site fidelity, restricted ranging patterns, and low sporadic recruitment from the superpopulation.

The higher, the closer, the better? Influence of sampling frequency and distance on the acoustic properties of short-beaked common dolphins burst pulses in the Mediterranean Sea

Elena Papale et al.

Summary: This study explored the effects of sampling frequency and distance from source on burst pulsed signals emitted by short-beaked common dolphins in the Mediterranean Sea, finding that higher sampling rates are more accurate but some parameters are not significantly different at lower rates. The transmission loss model indicated that high frequency components attenuate within 800 m from the source. Ultimately, the study enhances the accuracy of passive acoustic monitoring systems for conserving short-beaked common dolphins.

Dolphin-Watching Boats Affect Whistle Frequency Modulation in Bottlenose Dolphins

Betzi Perez-Ortega et al.

Summary: Bottlenose dolphins' whistles play a key role in social communication and can indicate emotional states such as danger, alertness, and stress. This study found significant differences in whistle modulation between sites with different levels of boat traffic, with dolphins showing more intense modulation in the presence of tour boats. Implementing measures to reduce disruption from boat traffic and enforcing operator guidelines could help protect the dolphins' communication and emotional states.

Capitoline Dolphins: Residency Patterns and Abundance Estimate of Tursiops truncatus at the Tiber River Estuary (Mediterranean Sea)

Daniela Silvia Pace et al.

Summary: Photo-identification is a non-invasive method used to identify individual animals based on natural markings, with the dorsal fin of dolphins being the most distinctive feature. By applying this method to bottlenose dolphins in the Tiber estuary, a total of 347 unique individuals were identified, with distinct residency patterns. The estimated population size was 529 individuals, indicating the importance of developing conservation plans for this vulnerable top-predator species on a broader scale of area.

Integration of presence-only data from several sources: a case study on dolphins' spatial distribution

Sara Martino et al.

Summary: This study proposed a new protocol for presence-only data fusion, incorporating information sources such as social media platforms to reduce uncertainty in species distribution modeling. By analyzing spatial data on two dolphin species with different ecological characteristics and applying different detection functions and thinning methods, the study revealed the impact on ecological findings. The findings provide insights into species distribution in the study area and demonstrate the method's broad applicability.
