• From common to rare: The case of the Mediterranean common dolphin (2011, background): “As discussed by Bearzi et al. (2005), common dolphins in the Inner Ionian Sea Archipelago have been observed to progressively distribute themselves in smaller and more dispersed groups.”
• Feeding aquaculture in an era of finite resources (2009, background): “Overexploitation of forage fisheries can lead to local stress on these higher trophic species, particularly during El Niño events (8, 9).”
• Dolphin sympatric ecology (2005, background): “In spite of such sympatry, the two species rarely mixed and showed no direct interac- tions (Bearzi et al. 2005).”
• Computer-assisted recognition of dolphin individuals using dorsal fin pigmentations (2016, background): “Photo-identification (photo-id) makes use of unique, naturally occurring marks, eliminating the need to physically capture or tag the organism [1].”
• Ecology and conservation of common bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus in the Mediterranean Sea (2009, background): “In Greek waters they are found in coastal areas, straits, gulfs, semi-closed eutrophic waters, and steep coasts with no continental shelf (Frantzis et al., 2003; Bearzi et al., 2005, 2008a).”
• Overfishing and the disappearance of short-beaked common dolphins from western Greece (2008, background): “…(reviewed in Bearzi et al. 2003, Cañadas 2006), (2) observations of common dolphin feeding behaviour and diving patterns in the study area (Bearzi et al. 2005), (3) direct observations of feeding in neritic Mediterranean waters (Mussi & Miragliuolo 2003, Cañadas 2006), and (4) analysis of…”
• Prey depletion caused by overfishing and the decline of marine megafauna in eastern Ionian Sea coastal waters (central Mediterranean) (2006, background): “This fact, together with literature information (e.g., Blanco et al., 2001) and observations of diving behaviour (Bearzi et al., 1999; Ferretti et al., 1999), suggests that epipelagic schooling fish are not important prey for bottlenose dolphins around the island of Kalamos.”
• Dolphins in a bottle: abundance, residency patterns and conservation of bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus in the semi-closed eutrophic Amvrakikos Gulf, Greece (2008, methodology): “…in the Amvrakikos Gulf and a total of 83 individuals identified in 1993–2006 in the waters surrounding the island of Kalamos and south of the island of Lefkada, approximately 40–60 km away from the Preveza channel (Bearzi et al., 2005; Tethys Research Institute, unpublished data; Figure 1).”
