Interaural Sequential Masking in the Dolphin Auditory System
Studies in a bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus measured the time of release of short-latency auditory evoked potentials (auditory brainstem...

The prefrontal cortex of the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus Montagu, 1821): a tractography study and comparison with the human
Cetaceans are well known for their remarkable cognitive abilities including self-recognition, sound imitation and decision making. In other mammals,...

Anatomical and volumetric description of the guiana dolphin (Sotalia guianensis) brain from an ultra-high-field magnetic resonance imaging
The Guiana dolphin ( Sotalia guianensis ) is a common species along Central and South American coastal waters. Although much effort has been made to...

Automatic Deep-Learning-Based Classification of Bottlenose Dolphin Signature Whistles
Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) produce individually distinctive signature whistles that develop early in life and are used to recognize and...

Regularity of Ganglion Cell Distributions in the Dolphin Retina Increases During Postnatal Ontogeny
We report here studies of the regularity of the distribution of ganglion cells in the high-resolution zones of the retina of a neonatal and an adult...

Population genomics of the white-beaked dolphin (Lagenorhynchus albirostris): Implications for conservation amid climate-driven range shifts
Climate change is rapidly affecting species distributions across the globe, particularly in the North Atlantic. For highly mobile and elusive...

The Acoustic Window in the Lower Jaw of the Dolphin: Assessment of Bone Thickness
The mandibular conduction hypothesis in dolphins suggests that the pinna has been functionally replaced by a mandibular “acoustic window.” Using...

Forward Masking of Auditory Evoked Potentials in Dolphins in Monaural and Dichotic Sound Stimulation: Implications for the Precedence Effect and Biosonar
Non-invasive recordings were made of short-latency auditory evoked potentials (SLAEP) in the bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus produced in...

Is the dolphin a fish? ERP evidence for the impact of typicality during early visual processing in ultra-rapid semantic categorization in autism spectrum disorder
BackgroundNeurotypical individuals categorize items even during ultra-rapid presentations (20 ms; see Thorpe et al. Nature 381: 520, 1996). In...

The Digital Dolphin: Are 3D Mobile Based and Interactive Models a Useful Aid to Volunteers on Stranding Schemes Learning the Basic Anatomy and Pathology of Cetaceans?
Cetacean research is crucially aided by stranding programmes, such as the Scottish Marine Animal Stranding Scheme (SMASS). As part of SMASS’s...

Seismic Survey Risk Assessment on Common Dolphins in the South-western Coast of Portugal
While ship traffic is the primary source of anthropogenic underwater noise worldwide, locally, other sources may have a higher impact on marine life,...

Determinants of lungworm specificity in five cetacean species in the western Mediterranean
BackgroundCurrent data about Pseudaliidae show contrasting patterns of host specificity between congeneric species. We investigated how both contact...
