Proximate composition and energy content of forage species from the Bay of Biscay: high- or low-quality food? (2010, background): “As far as possible, the size range was selected to match published prey sizes for top predators in the Bay of Biscay (Spitz et al., 2006; Pusineri et al., 2007; Meynier et al., 2008).”
Prey selection by the common dolphin: Fulfilling high energy requirements with high quality food (2010, background): “Between seasons or years, the specific composition of its diets can change 73 significantly (Meynier et al., 2008), but, if the proximate composition of forage species was 74 considered (Spitz et al., 2010), dolphins seemed always to switch from a fat and high-quality 75 prey species to another…”
Common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) habitat preferences using data from two platforms of opportunity (2012, background): “, 2006), and previous studies describe the common dolphin as feeding on such prey (Silva, 1999; de Pierrepont et al., 2005; Pusineri et al., 2007; Meynier et al., 2008).”
