Energetic tidal-stream environments are characterized by frequent, variable, yet broadly
predictable currents containing ephemeral flow structures that change across multiple spatio …

The distribution, movements and abundance of highly mobile marine species such as
bottlenose dolphins T ursiops truncatus are best studied at large spatial scales, but previous …

Very little is known about the ecology of snubfin Orcaella heinsohni and Indo-Pacific
humpback dolphins Sousa chinensis in Australian waters. We used photo-identification data …

The harbour porpoise is a highly mobile species and thus represents a considerable
challenge in the context of using marine protected areas (MPAs) for conservation. The shelf …

1. Many species of delphinids co-occur in space and time. However, little is known of their
ecological interactions and the underlying mechanisms that mediate their coexistence. 2 …

Reduction of bycatch through spatial management is one possible approach in fisheries
management. One requirement is description of the habitat of the species in question, and …

Abstract Although the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) is largely based on
the establishment of environmental targets and associated proxies to achieve Good …

One common approach to marine conservation is the designation of marine protected areas
(MPAs). Marine mammals have been proposed as a target species for such areas due to …

In this quantitative study of locational and social dispersal at the individual level, we show
that bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops sp.) continued to use their natal home ranges well into …

Summary 1 Broad‐scale telemetry studies have greatly improved our understanding of the
ranging patterns and habitat‐use of many large vertebrates. However, there often remains …
