• Social network correlates of food availability in an endangered population of killer whales, Orcinus orca (2012, unknown): “…et al. 2008), and to maximize the comparability with other cetacean association studies (Bräger et al. 1994; Lusseau 2003; Lusseau et al. 2006; Möller et al. 2006; Williams & Lusseau 2006; Gero et al. 2008; Beck et al. 2011), we used the half-weight index (HWI) as a measure of strength of…”
• Early social development in wild bottlenose dolphins: sex differences, individual variation and maternal influence (2008, background): “In contrast, adult females form loose social networks with other females of varying age (Wells et al. 1987; Smolker et al. 1992), often including matrilineal kin (Möller et al. 2006).”
• The size, composition and function of wild bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops sp.) mother–calf groups in Shark Bay, Australia (2008, background): “Females form loose social networks with other females of varying age and kinship (Wells et al. 1987; Smolker et al. 1992; Möller et al. 2006); their relationships can be characterized as socially tolerant (Scott et al.”
• Home range overlap, matrilineal and biparental kinship drive female associations in bottlenose dolphins (2010, methodology): “Female bottlenose dolphins reportedly form loose social bonds with other females of various ages and degrees of kinship (Wells et al. 1987; Smolker et al. 1992; Möller et al. 2006).”
• Habitat type promotes rapid and extremely localised genetic differentiation in dolphins (2007, background): “…by only one or a few extended family groups, as studies on the genetic relatedness of embayment dolphins showed that the social groups of males and females are formed, respectively, by randomly related individuals and individuals from different maternal lineages (Möller et al. 2001, 2006).”
• Social cohesion in a hierarchically structured embayment population of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (2009, background): “1981), and, if travelling, the animals were heading in the same direction (Shane 1990; Möller et al. 2006).”
• Female bisexual kinship ties maintain social cohesion in a dolphin network (2010, methodology): “Females were alternatively identified by the repeated presence of a dependent calf (Möller et al. 2006).”
• Dispersal, philopatry, and the role of fission‐fusion dynamics in bottlenose dolphins (2013, background): “…sex-specific adult association patterns have been found at other Tursiops research sites (e.g., Sarasota Bay, Florida: Wells et al. 1987, Wells 1991, and Port Stephens, Australia: Möller et al. 2001, 2006), although there are exceptions (e.g., Doubtful Sound, New Zealand: Lusseau et al. 2003).”
