Journal ArticleDOI
Bottlenose Dolphins as Marine Ecosystem Sentinels: Developing a Health Monitoring System
Randall S. Wells,Howard L. Rhinehart,Larry J. Hansen,Jay C. Sweeney,Forrest I. Townsend,Rae Stone,David R. Casper,Michael D. Scott,Aleta A. Hohn,Teri Rowles +9 more
TL;DR: A team of marine mammal veterinarians and biologists worked together to develop an objective, quantitative, replicable means of scoring the health of dolphins, based on comparison of 19 clinically diagnostic blood parameters to normal baseline values, which appears to roughly reflect dolphin health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth layers in teeth from known-age, free-ranging bottlenose dolphins
TL;DR: It is concluded that the structures the authors define as dentinal growth layer groups (GLGs) are annual, sources of error in age estimates are described, and a description of the GLG pattern that can be used by others to estimate age for dolphins is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrating life-history and reproductive success data to examine potential relationships with organochlorine compounds for bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Sarasota Bay, Florida
Randall S. Wells,Victoria Tornero,Asunción Borrell,Alex Aguilar,Teri Rowles,Howard L. Rhinehart,Suzanne Hofmann,Walter M. Jarman,Aleta A. Hohn,Jay C. Sweeney +9 more
TL;DR: Long-term observational monitoring and periodic biological sampling provide a powerful, non-lethal approach to understanding relationships between organochlorine residue concentrations in tissues and reproductive parameters for coastal dolphins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of growth in wild bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus
TL;DR: There was considerable variation in size-at-age for both sexes in all year classes, but females grew at a faster initial rate than males, but reached asymptotic size at an earlier age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life in the fast lane: the life history of harbor porpoises from the gulf of maine
Andrew J. Read,Aleta A. Hohn +1 more
TL;DR: The life history of harbor porpoises in the Gulf of Maine is described by examining 239 animals killed in gill net fisheries and comparing these findings with the results of previous studies from the Bay of Fundy to support the hypothesis that these animals form a single population.
