Whistles as Potential Indicators of Stress in Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) (2009, methodology): “…dolphins, attempts have been made to correlate stress hormones (e.g., cortisol) with behavioral state, but no consistent relationship has emerged (Curry 1999; Frohoff 2004; Ortiz and Worthy 2000; St. Aubin and Dierauf 2001; St. Aubin et al. 1996; Thomson and Geraci 1986; Waples and Gales 2002).”
Sources of stress in captivity (2007, background): “Stress resulting from social instability is hypothesized to explain mortality in several cases of captive dolphins (Waples and Gales, 2002).”
