Journal ArticleDOI
Functional morphology and homology in the odontocete nasal complex: implications for sound generation
TL;DR: Comparing and contrasting the morphologic patterns of nasal structures across species representing every extant odontocete superfamily reveals probable homologous relationships, which suggests that all toothed whales may be making their biosonar signals by a similar mechanism.
Book
The Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin
TL;DR: The authors begin with a description of the spinner dolphin species, its morphology and systematics, and then examines the ocean environment, the organization of dolphin populations, and the way this school-based society of mammals uses shorelines for rest and instruction of the young.

TL;DR: The Hawaiian spinner dolphin, Stenella longirostris, was recorded from Kure Atoll to the island of Hawaii, and natural scars and marks allowed study of movements and school structure.

Cooperative societies in three- dimensional space: On the origins of aggregations, flocks, and schools, with special reference to dolphins and fish
Kenneth S. Norris,Carl R. Schilt +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the gaze stabilization system of the visual system is involved in the most advanced version of the confusion effect, which is a key factor in the establishment of the evolutionarily stable strategy of schooling.
