Temporal and spatial variation in group size of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Shannon Estuary, Ireland
(2016-09)
Bottlenose dolphin group size is known to be determined by food availability, social interactions and predator defence. This paper analyses data gathered over seven years from dolphin tour boats operating in the Shannon ...
An Ethogram for Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Shannon Estuary, Ireland
(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 ...
Managing a Dynamic North Sea in the light of its ecological dynamics: Increasing occurrence of large baleen whales in the southern North Sea
(Elsevier Ltd, 2022-03-01)
A recent increase in sightings and strandings of humpback and to a lesser extent, fin whales in the southern North Sea has been well documented. This positive trend in the marine mammal community is to be welcome. A similar ...
Biogeography in the deep: Hierarchical population genomic structure of two beaked whale species
(Elsevier B.V., 2022-10-14)
The deep sea is the largest ecosystem on Earth, yet little is known about the processes driving patterns of genetic diversity in its inhabitants. Here, we investigated the macro- and microevolutionary processes shaping ...
An investigation into the effects of climate change on baleen whale distribution in the British Isles
(Elsevier B.V., 30-12-20)
Climate change is predicted to impact the distribution of many marine species. In the North-East Atlantic and
elsewhere in the world, studies indicate that climate change is leading to poleward shifts in cetacean distribution. ...
