- Mitochondrial and nuclear DNA analyses reveal fine scale geographic structure in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Gulf of Mexico (2005, background): “…studies, it appears many inshore areas of both the Gulf of Mexico and the Northwest Atlantic harbor resident bottlenose dolphins that generally remain in a discrete geographic area over time (Irvine and Wells 1972; Shane et al. 1986; Wells 1986; Würsig and Lynn 1996; Zolman 2002; Wells 2003).”
- Social relationships among adult female baboons (Papio cynocephalus) II. Variation in the quality and stability of social bonds (2006, background): “…townsendii), Lambin and Yoccoz, 1998; house mice (Mus domesticus), König 1994; Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus), LeFevre and McClintock 1992; gray seals (Halichoerus grypus), Pomeroy et al. 2001; bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), Wells 2003; howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata), Pope 2000a,b].”
- Early social development in wild bottlenose dolphins: sex differences, individual variation and maternal influence (2008, background): “Despite the attention that has been given to the complex nature of fissionefusion society in bottlenose dolphins (e.g. Connor et al. 1998, 2000, 2001; Lusseau 2003; Wells 2003; Lusseau & Newman 2004), the role of early experience in social development has not been explored.”
- Ecology and conservation of common bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus in the Mediterranean Sea (2009, background): “Though such live captures do not represent a threat at the basin scale, they can have a significant impact on local populations, both directly and indirectly (e.g. female bottlenose dolphins are more successful at rearing calves in large, stable groups; Wells, 2003).”
- Recreational fishing depredation and associated behaviors involving common bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus ) in Sarasota Bay, Florida (2011, methodology): “Prey in Gulf waters are not evenly dispersed, making fish potentially more difficult to locate, possibly forcing dolphins to spend more time searching for prey (Wells et al. 1980; Wells 1991, 2003).”
- The size, composition and function of wild bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops sp.) mother–calf groups in Shark Bay, Australia (2008, background): “Bottlenose dolphin groups containing females and calves are often referred to as ‘nursery’ groups (e.g.Wells et al. 1987; Wells 2003), implying that thesegroupscooperate toprovide protection and/or social opportunities for calves.”
- Whistles as Potential Indicators of Stress in Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) (2009, methodology): “Recordings from brief capture–release events in Sarasota Bay, Florida (Scott et al. 1990; Wells 1991, 2003; Wells et al. 2004), have been collected over a period of 34 years (1975–2008), and many dolphins have been recorded multiple times (maximum 5 15, X̄ 5 3.3).”
- Social relationships among adult female baboons (papio cynocephalus) I. Variation in the strength of social bonds (2006, background): “…suggests that mammalian females gain fitness advantages from remaining in their natal ranges and associating with their relatives (Gerlach and Bartmann 2002; Lambin and Yoccoz, 1998; König 1994; LeFevre and McClintock 1992; Moses and Millar 1994; Pomeroy et al. 2001; Pope 2000a,b; Wells 2003).”
