US Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico marine mammal stock assessments - 2015 (2016, methodology): “However, reanalysis of stranding data (McLellan et al. 2003) and extensive analysis of genetic (Rosel et al. 2009), photo-ID (Zolman 2002) and satellite telemetry (Hansen and Hohn, NMFS unpublished data) data demonstrate a complex mosaic of coastal bottlenose dolphin stocks.”
US Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico marine mammal stock assessments - 2016 (2007, background): “For example, long-term photo-identification (photo-ID) studies in waters around Charleston, South Carolina, have identified communities of resident dolphins that are seen within relatively restricted home ranges year-round (Zolman 2002; Speakman et al. 2006).”
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).”
