Biopsy techniques have been developed to collect skin and blubber samples through non‐
lethal methods. One sample can provide data on genetics, prey preferences, foraging …

Background The question of how many marine species exist is important because it
provides a metric for how much we do and do not know about life in the oceans. We have …

Abstract Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus truncatus) are one of the most
abundant marine mammal species in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOMx), a region where …

Small coastal dolphins endemic to south-eastern Australia have variously been assigned to
described species Tursiops truncatus, T. aduncus or T. maugeanus; however the specific …

A distinct ulcerative dermatitis known as “freshwater skin disease” is an emerging clinical
and pathological presentation in coastal cetaceans worldwide. In Australia, two remarkably …

The marine environment provides an opportunity to examine population structure in species
with high dispersal capabilities and often no obvious barriers to genetic exchange. In coastal …

Understanding the evolution of diversity and the resulting systematics in marine systems is
confounded by the lack of clear boundaries in oceanic habitats, especially for highly mobile …

The study of marine soundscapes is a growing field of research. Recording hardware is
becoming more accessible; there are a number of off-the-shelf autonomous recorders that …

Phylogeographic inference has provided extensive insight into the relative roles of
geographical isolation and ecological processes during evolutionary radiations. However …

Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops sp.) depend on frequency-modulated whistles for many
aspects of their social behavior, including group cohesion and recognition of familiar …
