- Ecology and conservation of common bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus in the Mediterranean Sea (2009, background): “Consistent with their varied diet (Blanco et al., 2001) and adaptable behaviour (Shane et al., 1986; Leatherwood & Reeves, 1990; Reynolds et al., 2000), bottlenose dolphins in the Mediterranean have become involved in depredation of fish in various fishing gear, most notably gill and trammel nets…”
- Diet overlap between harbour porpoise and bottlenose dolphin: An argument in favour of interference competition for food? (2006, unknown): “…be locally predominant in the diet (e.g. Cockcroft and Ross, 1990; Barros et al., 2000; Santos et al, 2001a); however, the bottlenose dolphin is also often described as a strictly demersal feeder (Gunter, 1942; Tomilin, 1957; Evans, 1980; Barros and Odell, 1990; Blanco et al., 2001; present work).”
- Occurrence and present status of coastal dolphins (Delphinus delphis and Tursiops truncatus) in the eastern Ionian Sea (2005, unknown): “strategies involving a high degree of flexibility of diet, social organization and behaviour (Shane et al., 1986; Shane, 1990; Bearzi et al., 1999; Blanco et al., 2001), including opportunistic foraging behind trawlers”
- Prey depletion caused by overfishing and the decline of marine megafauna in eastern Ionian Sea coastal waters (central Mediterranean) (2006, background): “…is an acute lack of historical data (Briand, 2000, 2003), it is acknowledged that unsustainable harvesting led to the decline of many fish stocks (Caddy and Griffiths, 1990; De Walle et al., 1993; Stanners and Bourdeau, 1995; Caddy, 1997; Briand, 2000; FAO, 1997, 2000; Pauly and Palomares, 2000).”
- Dolphins in a bottle: abundance, residency patterns and conservation of bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus in the semi-closed eutrophic Amvrakikos Gulf, Greece (2008, background): “…that environment degradation having resulted in the decline of demersal species that represent typical prey for Mediterranean bottlenose dolphins (Blanco et al., 2001) has forced these opportunistic and behaviourally flexible animals to switch diet and target epipelagic prey, with consequences…”
- Variability in the diet of bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, in Galician waters, north-western Spain, 1990–2005 (2007, background): “Blanco et al. (2001) found that adult bottlenose dolphins had eaten bigger hake (and a wider size range) than juveniles, in a sample of 16 animals stranded on the Spanish Mediterranean coast.”
- Potential impacts of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions on Mediterranean marine ecosystems and cetaceans (2008, background): “In the Adriatic Sea, climatic shifts are suggested to have altered the distribution of the key prey species of common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) and bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) (Blanco et al., 2001; Bearzi et al., 2003).”
