• Ecology and conservation of common bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus in the Mediterranean Sea (2009, background): “, 2008), and the waters surrounding islands and archipelagos (Bearzi, Notarbartolo di Sciara & Politi, 1997; Mussi & Miragliuolo, 2003; Forcada et al., 2004; Fortuna et al., 2007).”
• Non-recovery of two spotted and spinner dolphin populations in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (2005, methodology): “While they are widely used and generally robust, these methods have limitations (Ramsey & Harrison 2004), and modeling the effects is an improved approach (Marques & Buckland 2003, Forcada et al. 2004, Royle et al. 2004).”
• Abundance of small cetaceans in waters of the central Spanish Mediterranean (2006, background): “This area is considered one of the most populated zones for striped dolphins in the western Mediterranean ( Forcada et al. 1995 ) and it is currently protected as an International Marine Sanctuary for cetaceans due to the high density of several species (Hoyt 2005).”
• Developing a simple, rapid method for identifying and monitoring jellyfish aggregations from the air (2006, background): “Within the marine environment, aerial surveys have historically centred on apex predators, such as pinnipeds (Bengtson et al. 1990, Thompson et al. 2001) cetaceans (Sonntag et al. 1999, Forcada et al. 2004) and sea birds (Scheel & Hough 1997, Gilchrist & Mallory 2005).”
