Female bisexual kinship ties maintain social cohesion in a dolphin network (2010, background): “2000; Möller & Beheregaray 2004) and males also show some degree of philopatry (Krützen et al. 2004; Möller & Beheregaray 2004; Sellas et al. 2005).”
Social cohesion in a hierarchically structured embayment population of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (2009, background): “Although on much larger geographical scales, intraspecific affinity to specific habitat characteristics has been proposed as a mechanism promoting isolation of many bottlenose dolphin populations (Hoelzel et al. 1998; Natoli et al. 2005; Sellas et al. 2005; Möller et al. 2007).”
Remarkably low genetic diversity and strong population structure in common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) from coastal waters of the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (2014, background): “…elsewhere might have originated via independent founder events from offshore populations, followed by local adaptation and natal philopatry (Hoelzel et al. 1998a; Natoli et al. 2004; Sellas et al. 2005; Möller et al. 2007; Tezanos-Pinto et al. 2009), leading to a reduction in genetic diversity.”
US Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico marine mammal stock assessments - 2016 (2007, result): “Offshore (greater than 30 miles) surveys flown off the coast of northeastern Florida and southeastern Georgia from 1996 to 2001 had 3 sightings in 1996, 1 in 1997, 13 in 1998, 6 in 1999, 11 in 2000 and 6 in 2001 (within each year, some were repeat sightings of previously recorded individuals).”
Habitat type promotes rapid and extremely localised genetic differentiation in dolphins (2007, background): “In this regard our results are markedly different from those found in studies of T. truncatus, where genetic differentiation between populations at nuclear microsatellite DNA tend to correlate with differentiation at the mtDNA control region (e.g. Natoli et al. 2005; Sellas et al. 2005).”
US Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico marine mammal stock assessments - 2015 (2016, background): “The Sellas et al. (2005) findings support the separate identification of bay, sound and estuary stocks from those occurring in adjacent Figure 1.”
High gene flow in oceanic bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) of the North Atlantic (2007, unknown): “Seven populations were considered: United Kingdom (UK; N = 38: 29 sequences from Parsons et al. 2002, and 9 from Natoli et al. 2004), Mediterranean Sea (MS; N = 18; Natoli et al. 2004), North-West Atlantic Pelagic (NWAP; N = 25; Natoli et al. 2004), East Atlantic (EA; N = 17; Natoli et al. 2004), No”
