Sex-Specific Patterns in Abundance, Temporary Emigration and Survival of Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in Coastal and Estuarine Waters
Inherent difficulties in determining the sex of free-ranging, sexually monomorphic species
often prevents a sex-specific focus on estimating abundance, movement patterns and …

A cross‐scale framework to support a mechanistic understanding and modelling of marine climate‐driven species redistribution, from individuals to communities
Climate‐driven species redistribution is pervasive and accelerating, yet the complex
mechanisms at play remain poorly understood. The implications of large‐scale species …

Morphological differences between coastal bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) populations identified using non-invasive stereo-laser photogrammetry
M van Aswegen, F Christiansen, J Symons, J Mann… - Scientific Reports, 2019 - nature.com
Obtaining morphometric data on free-ranging marine megafauna is difficult, as traditional
methods rely on post-mortem or live-capture techniques. We linked stereo-laser …
