Conservation management of common dolphins: Lessons learned from the North‐East Atlantic
(Wiley, 2019-11-19)
(1) The short-beaked common dolphin is one of the most numerous cetacean species in the North-East Atlantic and plays a key functional role within the ecosystem as a top predator. However, in 2013, its conservation status ...
Female reproductive parameters and population demographics of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Shannon Estuary, Ireland
(Springer Nature, 2017-11-20)
This study investigates the female reproductive parameters and population demographics of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Shannon Estuary, Ireland, using long-term relational sightings and photographic ...
An Ethogram for Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Shannon Estuary, Ireland
(Minuteman Press, 2017)
Ethograms, or categorized lists of behavioral descriptors, are fundamental research tools in the study of animal behavior and are essential to the overall understanding of the behavioral ecology of a species. With specific ...
High concentrations of persistent organic pollutants in adult killer whales (Orcinus orca) and a foetus stranded in Ireland
(Elsevier Ltd., 2019-10-29)
Bio-accumulation of persistent organic pollutants including polychlorinatedbiphenyls (PCBs), brominated flame retardants and organochlorine pesticides continue to be of major concern for marine apex predators such as killer ...
Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) social structure in the Shannon Estuary, Ireland, is distinguished by age- and area-related associations
(Society for Marine Mammalogy, 2018)
Social and network analyses that incorporate information on individuals within a population enhance our knowledge of complex species. In this study, the social structure of wild bottlenose dolphins in the Shannon Estuary, ...
Spatial separation of catches in highly mixed fisheries
(Springer Nature, 2018-09)
Mixed fisheries are the dominant type of fishery worldwide. Overexploitation in mixed fisheries occurs when catches continue for available quota species while low quota species are discarded. As EU fisheries management ...
Fine-scale sociality reveals female–male affiliations and absence of male alliances in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Shannon Estuary, Ireland
(Society for Marine Mammalogy, 2019-04-29)
Knowledge of social behavior at an individual level is central to our understanding of complex mammalian societies. In this study, we analyzed the fine-scale sociality of wild bottlenose dolphins in the Shannon Estuary, ...
