This book was released on 2011 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boat-based photo-identification surveys of Pacific coast bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) were conducted from 1981 to 2001 in six study areas along the California and Northern Baja coastline: (1) Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico; (2) San Diego, California; (3) Orange County, California; (4) Santa Monica Bay, California; (5) Santa Barbara, California; and (6) Monterey Bay, California. Sighting histories and photographs from all six areas were integrated into one comprehensive catalog, consisting of 697 individuals, to analyze bottlenose dolphin movement patterns along the Pacific coast. Two hundred forty-five individuals identified in Santa Monica Bay from 1997 to 2001 were compared to the existing Cetacean Behavior Laboratory (CBL) catalog, containing 626 individuals identified in the other five study areas from 1981 to 2000. The majority of Santa Monica Bay dolphins (71%, n = 175) were matched to the CBL catalog, and were seen in all study areas, indicating that they belonged to the same population. Some analyses were carried out using both the entire CBL catalog and a subset of 397 CBL dolphins only sighted from 1996 to 2000, as some CBL dolphins seen only from 1981 to 1989 were possibly no longer in the population. The percentage of CBL dolphins seen in Santa Monica Bay greatly increased from 28.0% to 43.3% when using only the 1996-2000 data subset. Three hundred sixty-three of all identified individuals (52.1%) were seen in two or more study areas, of which 263 individuals (72.5%) displayed longshore movement reversals, with a maximum documented number of ten movement reversals. Minimum travel distances ranged from 59 to 965 km, with three individuals ranging over the entire study area from Ensenada to Monterey. The most rapid documented travel speed was 94.5 km/day for one dolphin observed traveling 189 km from San Diego to Santa Monica Bay in two days. Sighting frequencies ranged from one to 40 (mean = 6.98, SD = 7.16), with individuals sighted over a range of one to 20 years (mean = 11.65, SD = 5.22) in up to five study areas, indicating little site fidelity to any one region. These results reinforce the hypothesis that bottlenose dolphins are highly mobile and travel rapidly and extensively along the California and Northern Baja coastline in search of optimal feeding opportunities. The open, unprotected, and highly dynamic habitat structure characteristic of the Pacific coastline may account for differences between movement and residency patterns observed between Pacific coast bottlenose dolphins and populations in more sheltered habitats (e.g. Sarasota Bay, Florida). However, other factors such as food resource availability, water temperature, and intraspecies variability also likely play important roles in influencing ranging behavior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the editors present a view of the socioecology of primates and cetaceans in a comparative perspective to elucidate the social evolution of highly intellectual mammals in terrestrial and aquatic environments. Despite obvious differences in morphology and eco-physiology, there are many cases of comparable, sometimes strikingly similar patterns of sociobehavioral complexity. A number of long-term field studies have accumulated a substantial amount of data on the life history of various taxa, foraging ecology, social and sexual relationships, demography, and various patterns of behavior: from dynamic fission–fusion to long-term stable societies; from male-bonded to bisexually bonded to matrilineal groups. Primatologists and cetologists have come together to provide four evolutionary themes: (1) social complexity and behavioral plasticity, (2) life history strategies and social evolution, (3) the interface between behavior, demography, and conservation, and (4) selected topics in comparative behavior. These comparisons of taxa that are evolutionarily distant but live in comparable complex sociocognitive environments boost our appreciation of their sophisticated mammalian societies and can advance our understanding of the ecological factors that have shaped their social evolution. This knowledge also facilitates a better understanding of the day-to-day challenges these animals face in the human-dominated world and may improve the capacity and effectiveness of our conservation efforts.
Book Synopsis The Bottlenose Dolphin by : Stephen Leatherwood
Download or read book The Bottlenose Dolphin written by Stephen Leatherwood and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of their exposure in marine parks, movies, and television as well as their presence in tropical and warm-temperature waters around the world, bottlenose dolphins are among the most familiar of marine mammals. Since they are relatively easy to obtain and they thrive in captivity, these dolphins have been used in a great variety of studies. Work with the bottlenose has provided insight into the sensory mechanisms, communication systems, energetics, reproduction, anatomy, and other aspects of cetacean biology. This volume presents the most recent biological and behavioral discoveries of bottlenose dolphins from different regions and compares bottlenose dolphins as a group with other species of animals.
Book Synopsis Spatial Assessment of Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops Truncatus) in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina by : Hannah Bouchillon

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Charleston Estuarine System Stock (CESS) of bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus) has been the focus of long-term population monitoring for the past twenty years with an added emphasis on health assessment research for the past ten. Through a series of photo-identification studies, abundance and survivability estimates have been determined for this population, which is known to exhibit high site fidelity within this area. However, fine-scale distribution, movement patterns, and the driving forces behind these patterns have been left largely uninvestigated. Furthermore, high levels of both legacy persistent organohalogen contaminants (POCs) and emerging POCs have been reported in dolphins in this population and less than 50% of dolphins examined were considered healthy. Using historical photo-id data and GIS analysis, the present study identified areas of high residency within the harbor, as well as movement patterns across sexes and seasons. Multiple hot spots were identified for this population, with the most significant being an area of great overlap near the mouth of the harbor. Fine-scale distribution varied across sexes as well as seasons. Significant correlations between distribution and salinity, temperature, and depth were identified, with the direction of these correlations varying by season. Additionally, the fine-scale distribution of dolphins with known health statuses and contaminant levels was identified and correlated to sediment contaminant levels throughout the estuary. While distinct high residency areas were identified between groups with varying health statuses, no significant distinctions in distribution or correlations with environmental contaminants were found. Understanding the distribution patterns and contaminant exposures of these highly mobile marine predators requires complex analyses, but may provide insight into the health of the estuary as a whole.

Book Synopsis Foraging Theory by : David W. Stephens
Download or read book Foraging Theory written by David W. Stephens and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This account of the current state of foraging theory is also a valuable description of the use of optimality theory in behavioral ecology in general. Organizing and introducing the main research themes in economic analyses of animal feeding behavior, the authors analyze the empirical evidence bearing on foraging models and answer criticisms of optimality modeling. They explain the rationale for applying optimality models to the strategies and mechanics of foraging and present the basic "average-rate maximizing" models and their extensions. The work discusses new directions in foraging research: incorporating incomplete information and risk-sensitive behavior in foraging models; analyzing trade-offs, such as nutrient requirements and the threat of being eaten while foraging; formulating dynamic models; and building constrained optimization models that assume that foragers can use only simple "rules of thumb." As an analysis of these and earlier research developments and as a contribution to debates about the role of theory in evolutionary biology. Foraging Theory will appeal to a wide range of readers, from students to research professionals, in behavioral ecology, population and community ecology, animal behavior, and animal psychology, and especially to those planning empirical tests of foraging models.
