• REPRODUCTION OF THE ESTUARINE DOLPHIN (SOTALIA GUIANENSIS) ON THE COAST OF PARANÁ, SOUTHERN BRAZIL (2002, background): “Key words: Brazil, estuarine dolphin, reproduction, Sotalia guianensis The estuarine dolphin (Sotalia guianensis) was recently separated as a distinct species from the freshwater tucuxi (Sotalia fluviatilis) based on tridimensional morphometric analysis (Monteiro-Filho et al. 2002).”
• Riverine and marine ecotypes of Sotalia dolphins are different species (2005, background): “Recently, Monteiro-Filho et al. (2002) suggested that marine and riverine forms should be treated as separate species, based on a geometric morphometrics study.”
• TAXONOMIC STATUS OF THE GENUS SOTALIA: SPECIES LEVEL RANKING FOR “TUCUXI” (SOTALIA FLUVIATILIS) AND “COSTERO” (SOTALIA GUIANENSIS) DOLPHINS (2007, background): “Tridimensional morphometric analysis of skull shape showed significant differences between riverine and coastal specimens suggesting the designation of each subspecies as separate species again (Monteiro-Filho et al. 2002).”
