Dolphins restructure social system after reduction of commercial fisheries (2012, background): “Despite their flexible and dynamic group structure, bottlenose dolphin societies contain certain stable elements such as long-term associations between individuals (e.g. Lusseau et al. 2003; Wiszniewski et al. 2009).”
Disentangling social networks from spatiotemporal dynamics: the temporal structure of a dolphin society (2012, background): “For instance, the combination of resource availability and pronounced habitat preferences can separate dolphins into discrete social modules (e.g. Lusseau et al. 2006; Wiszniewski et al. 2009).”
Evidence of social communities in a spatially structured network of a free-ranging shark species (2012, background): “…for spatial use has been widely investigated among terrestrial predators (Sandell 1989; Atwood & Weeks 2003; Wagner et al. 2008) and marine mammals (Lusseau et al. 2006; Wiszniewski et al. 2009; Frère et al. 2010), such information is still missing in most large, free-ranging, marine fish.”
Female bisexual kinship ties maintain social cohesion in a dolphin network (2010, methodology): “The three eastern groups are hereafter referred to ‘Heads’, ‘Central’ and ‘River’ based on their tendencies to occupy different areas of the embayment (Wiszniewski et al. 2009).”
