Long-term impacts of fish provisioning on the behavior and survival of wild bottlenose dolphins
V Foroughirad, J Mann - Biological Conservation, 2013 - Elsevier
To promote close encounters with wildlife, humans sometimes provision wild animals with
food. However such practices can be harmful, and the impacts of human provisioning on …

Sexual segregation in Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins is driven by female avoidance of males
Sexual segregation is widespread in mammals, although the proximate causes are poorly
understood in monomorphic species. Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) …

Spatial consequences for dolphins specialized in foraging with fishermen
According to theory, individuals forage in ways that maximize net energy intake. Distinct
foraging strategies may emerge within a population in response to heterogeneous …

The ecological costs to females in a system with allied sexual coercion
Sexual coercion results from extreme conflict over mating. As a male strategy to overcome
female resistance, coercion can impose fitness costs on females. Among mammals, most …

Age-specific foraging performance and reproduction in tool-using wild bottlenose dolphins
Effective foraging is necessary for nearly all animals, but most animals are not born with
adult-like foraging performance. Instead, foraging skills are developed during an individual's …

Maternal effects and fitness consequences of individual variation in bottlenose dolphins' ecological niche
The niche describes the ecological and social environment that an organism lives in, as well
as the behavioural tactics used to interact with its environment. A species niche is key to …

Alliance-specific habitat selection by male Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins in Shark Bay, Western Australia
Individuals and groups within the same population may differ in their use of resources. Also
referred to as niche specialization, such differences can be documented through direct or …
