TL;DR: The question of whether dolphins cooperate and communicate to solve a cooperative task remains as yet unanswered, and the suggestion that the occurrence of burst-pulsed signals in this task was indicative of cooperation is disputable.

TL;DR: Estimates of the abundance and fidelity of bottlenose dolphins interacting with the Pilbara Trawl Fishery indicate that only a considerable reduction in trawling effort is likely to reduce dolphin bycatch; the impacted population does not recruit from the adjacent coastal populations; and the number of dolphins interact with trawlers is fewer than expected.

TL;DR: This review of the last decade of sightings highlights northerly movements into temperate and sub-tropical waters, indicates that fatal entanglement has occurred and points toward an increasing likelihood of interactions between migrating whales and inshore marine development.

TL;DR: The authors investigated the genetic structure of these four communities using highly polymorphic microsatellite markers and part of the hypervariable segment of the mitochondrial control region, and found significant, yet very small genetic differentiation between some communities, most likely due to the presence of highly related individuals within these communities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a synthesis of the climate and cryosphere in the Indian Himalayan Region (IHR), and related impacts on downstream communities and systems, and analyze the associated risks from a conceptual and adaptation perspective.
