Risso's dolphin Grampus griseus in the Mediterranean Sea (2011, background): “Large sharks (e.g. the white shark Carharodon carcharias; Heithaus, 2001) and killer whales are both ikely predators based, for example, on observations of wounded nimals (especially calves; Hartman et al., 2008).”
Odontocete Stranding Patterns in the Main Hawaiian Islands (1937–2002): How Do They Compare with Live Animal Surveys?1 (2005, background): “Furthermore, sharks, which are abundant in Hawaiian waters, are known to scavenge on marine mammal carcasses and may consume many of them before they reach land (Long and Jones 1996, Heithaus 2001).”
Does tiger shark predation risk influence foraging habitat use by bottlenose dolphins at multiple spatial scales (2006, background): “E; Heithaus 2001d).”
Predator interactions, mesopredator release and biodiversity conservation. (2009, background): “Dolphins not only come under direct threat of predation from apex predators (sharks), but they are also in competition for resources with many of these predators (Heithaus 2001).”
Movements of the white shark Carcharodon carcharias in the North Atlantic Ocean (2017, background): “There is ample evidence that white sharks prey upon small odontocetes, including dolphins and porpoises (reviewed by Heithaus 2001), and the re - mains of a dolphin have been documented in the stomach of a white shark sampled off Florida (Adams et al. 1994).”
Environmental variables affecting the sexual segregation of great white sharks Carcharodon carcharias at the Neptune Islands South Australia (2007, background): “…Fawcett, 1986), the salmon shark Lamna ditropis Hubbs & Follett (Blagoderov, 1994; Goldman, 2000), the blue shark Prionace glauca (L.) (Pratt, 1979), the tiger shark Galeocerdo cuvier (P eron & Lesueur) (Hiethaus, 2001) and the nurse shark Ginglyostoma cirratum (Bonnaterre) (Carrier et al., 1994).”
FOOD AVAILABILITY AND TIGER SHARK PREDATION RISK INFLUENCE BOTTLENOSE DOLPHIN HABITAT USE (2002, methodology): “…were defined based on both changes in water temperature and in the abundance of many species that, along with dolphins, are prey of tiger sharks; these include dugongs (Dugung dugon), turtles (Caretta caretta and Chelonia mydas), and sea snakes (primarily Hydrophis elegans) (Heithaus 2001c).”
Behavioural drivers of the ecological roles and importance of marine mammals (2015, background): “…factors influencing marine mammal behaviour, often underappreciated is the possibility that marine mammal behaviour may be shaped by predation risk (e.g. Norris & Dohl 1980, Corkeron & Connor 1999, Heithaus 2001, Heithaus & Dill 2002, Ford & Reeves 2008, and see Wirsing et al. 2008 for a review).”
Fight or flight: antipredator strategies of baleen whales (2008, background): “Certain populations of bottlenose dolphins Tursiops spp. experience high rates of predatory interactions with sharks, as indicated by evidence of wounding and scarring (see reviews by Connor et al., 2000 and Heithaus, 2001).”
Fine-scale habitat selection by coastal bottlenose dolphins: application of a new land-based video-montage technique (2003, unknown): “Although the bottlenose dolphin is subject to predation across much of its range (Heithaus 2001), this population shows very few signs of predation pressure (Wilson et al. 1997) and can be considered the top predator in this system.”
Habitat selection in a coastal dolphin species (Cephalorhynchus hectori) (2003, background): “It is unknown to what degree inshore waters provide shelter for dolphins from predators such as seven-gill sharks (Notorhynchus cepidianus), a species known to prey on Hector’s dolphins (Cawthorn 1988) and other coastal dolphin species ( Heithaus 2001a ).”
Unravelling the ecological role and trophic relationships of uncommon and threatened elasmobranchs in the western Mediterranean Sea (2015, background): “Usually, when resources are shared in a restricted environment, species will adapt and modify their feeding behaviour to coexist in the same area (Lowe 236 Barría et al.: Ecological role of Mediterranean elasmobranchs et al. 1996, Heithaus 2001, Motta & Wilga 2001, Dean et al. 2007).”
