TAXONOMIC STATUS OF THE GENUS SOTALIA: SPECIES LEVEL RANKING FOR “TUCUXI” (SOTALIA FLUVIATILIS) AND “COSTERO” (SOTALIA GUIANENSIS) DOLPHINS (2007, methodology): “Skin from free-ranging dolphins was collected using a small biopsy dart deployed from a modified veterinary capture rifle (Krützen et al. 2002).”
Dolphins restructure social system after reduction of commercial fisheries (2012, background): “It has been shown to cause only mild short-term reactions by the animals and biopsy wounds heal quickly and without complications (Krützen et al. 2002).”
Genetic differentiation in bottlenose dolphins from South Australia: association with local oceanography and coastal geography (2007, methodology): “Bottlenose dolphins were biopsy sampled using either a hand-held biopsy pole for bow-riding dolphins (Bilgmann et al. 2007), or a rifle modified to deliver biopsy darts (Krützen et al. 2002).”
Female bisexual kinship ties maintain social cohesion in a dolphin network (2010, background): “Ltd, Timaru, New Zealand), which was specifically designed for sampling small cetaceans and has been shown to cause minimal short-term impacts to the dolphins (Krützen et al. 2002).”
Apparent Resource Partitioning and Trophic Structure of Large-Bodied Marine Predators in a Relatively Pristine Seagrass Ecosystem (2013, methodology): “Dolphin tissue samples were obtained during cold and warm seasons (Table 1) from 1997 to 2004 using a remote biopsy system constructed for small ceta - ceans (Krützen et al. 2002).”
Environmental DNA (eDNA) From the Wake of the Whales: Droplet Digital PCR for Detection and Species Identification (2018, background): “Most samples have been collected with some form of a biopsy dart projected with a crossbow (Lambertsen, 1987) or a modified veterinary capture rifle (Krützen et al., 2002).”
Home range overlap, matrilineal and biparental kinship drive female associations in bottlenose dolphins (2010, methodology): “As described in detail in Krützen et al. (2002), dolphins were only darted when they were travelling at slow to moderate speed For each category the mean biparental relatedness estimates were calculated and significant departures from random expectations were assessed using random Monte Carlo…”
Association patterns and kinship in female Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) of southeastern Australia (2006, unknown): “Small skin samples were collected from 87 free-ranging dolphins using a remote biopsy system (Krützen et al. 2002) during 26 additional boat surveys between March 1999 and April 2000.”
