Social cohesion in a hierarchically structured embayment population of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (2009, background): “…Stephens could lead to withincommunity differences in foraging strategies (as in other bottlenose dolphin populations, e.g. Würsig 1986; Rossbach & Herzing 1999; Hastie et al. 2004; Sargeant et al. 2007) and, in consequence, affect patterns of association (e.g. Dı́az López & Bernal Shirai 2008).”
Female bisexual kinship ties maintain social cohesion in a dolphin network (2010, background): “For instance, differences in sociability between female bottlenose dolphins in Shark Bay, Western Australia, have been attributed to differences in foraging strategies and the time devoted to these activities (Mann & Sargeant 2003; Sargeant et al. 2007; Gibson & Mann 2008).”
Dispersal, philopatry, and the role of fission‐fusion dynamics in bottlenose dolphins (2013, background): “Additionally, while both sexes exhibit habitat-specific foraging tactics (Sargeant et al. 2007), females are more likely to specialize in the same foraging tactics as their mothers and thus might compete more directly with members of their matriline (Mann and Sargeant 2003, Sargeant et al. 2005,…”
Early social development in wild bottlenose dolphins: sex differences, individual variation and maternal influence (2008, background): “…range of mammalian studies show relationships among relative brain size, social complexity and life history traits (Harvey & Clutton-Brock 1985; Sawaguchi 1990; Sawaguchi & Kudo 1990; Dunbar 1992; Gittleman 1994; Barton 1996; Marino 1996, 1998; Joffe 1997; Kudo & Dunbar 2001; Deaner et al.…”
Developmental evidence for foraging traditions in wild bottlenose dolphins (2009, methodology): “Because a previous cross-sectional transect-based study found that sponge carrying was strongly correlated with the presence of marine sponges and particular channel habitats (Sargeant et al. 2007), we also calculated for each calf the percentage of their sightings (each GPS position recorded during”
A comparison of shark and wolf research reveals similar behavioral responses by prey (2011, background): “For example, bottlenose dolphins in Shark Bay not only facilitate their probability of escape by foraging along the perimeter of seagrass meadows, as mentioned above, but also avoid encountering tiger sharks by using deep water (Heithaus and Dill 2002) and reduce their use of a foraging tactic than ”
Behavioural drivers of the ecological roles and importance of marine mammals (2015, background): “IndoPacific bottlenose dolphins in Shark Bay show marked and apparently life-long individual variation in the use of certain foraging tactics (Sargeant et al. 2007), with some tactics (e.g. ‘sponging’, where dolphins carry sponges as a tool to protect their beak from abrasion when foraging on the…”
