Home range size of adult Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in a coastal and estuarine system is habitat and sex-specific (2016, background): “Prey availability and distribution contribute to shaping dolphin distributions (e.g., Allen et al. 2001, Hastie et al. 2004, Elwen et al. 2010, Degrati et al. 2012).”
Genetic differentiation in bottlenose dolphins from South Australia: association with local oceanography and coastal geography (2007, background): “Cetacean distribution is not uniform and is frequently associated with prey distribution (Hastie et al. 2004) and specific topographic features of an area (Cañadas et al. 2002).”
Submarine canyons as important habitat for cetaceans, with special reference to the Gully: A review (2014, background): “…following prey, the occurrence of cetaceans within an area tends to be indirectly related to environmental variables and oceanographic features that affect the distribution and abundance of their prey (e.g., Hastie et al., 2004; Jaquet, 1996; Jaquet and Whitehead, 1996; Smith and Whitehead, 1993).”
Summer distribution patterns of southern resident killer whales Orcinus orca: core areas and spatial segregation of social groups (2007, background): “Functional use of particular areas, such as foraging, could then be linked to core areas (Hastie et al. 2004).”
Evidence of a seamount effect on aggregating visitors (2008, background): “…have correlated cetacean occurrence with complex and steep topographies (e.g. Balcomb 1989, Schoenherr 1991, Cañadas et al. 2002, Hooker et al. 2002, Hastie et al. 2004, Yen et al. 2004), the literature addressing their association with seamounts is scarce (Gregr & Trites 2001, Waring et al. 2001).”
Dolphins in a bottle: abundance, residency patterns and conservation of bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus in the semi-closed eutrophic Amvrakikos Gulf, Greece (2008, background): “Under such circumstances, and particularly when philopatry is high, the dolphins tend to develop habitat-specific behaviour, social organization and diet patterns (Hoese, 1971; Pryor et al., 1990; Barros and Wells, 1998; Connor et al., 2000; Allen et al., 2001; Gannon and Waples, 2004; Hastie et al.”
Modelling sperm whale habitat preference: a novel approach combining transect and follow data (2011, background): “Food availability is probably the main determinant of space use by marine mammals (e.g. Benoit-Bird & Au 2003, Hastie et al. 2004, Frederiksen et al. 2006, Fried - laender et al. 2006).”
Parallel influence of climate on the behaviour of Pacific killer whales and Atlantic bottlenose dolphins (2004, background): “Relationship between the behavioural ecology of the two delphinid species in the study areas and salmonids lead to the assumption that salmon play an important role in the diet of the dolphins (Nichol & Shackleton 1996; Mendes et al. 2002; Hastie et al. 2004 ).”
Social cohesion in a hierarchically structured embayment population of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (2009, background): “Alternatively, potential differences in prey composition and availability in the two distinct environments of Port 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; Sar”
Modelling the biological significance of behavioural change in coastal bottlenose dolphins in response to disturbance (2013, background): “Suitable locations for feeding were identified based upon the bathymetry (Hastie et al. 2004), as well as the combination of rapid change in bottom relief with strong tidal currents (Wilson, Thompson & Hammond 1997) (Fig.”
Can environmental heterogeneity explain individual foraging variation in wild bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops sp.)? (2007, unknown): “For example, the highest densities of foraging Indian Ocean bottlenose dolphins are often found in shallow seagrass habitats that contain the highest densities of prey (Heithaus and Dill 2002), while the distribution of foraging bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Moray Firth, Scotland is co”
