A northern Gulf of Mexico (GoM) cetacean unusual mortality event (UME) involving primarily bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama began February 2010 continued into 2014. Overlapping time space with this UME was the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill, which proposed as a contributing cause adrenal disease, lung poor health live examined during 2011 Barataria Bay, Louisiana. To assess potential factors causes deaths for stranded from June through...

Climate change and climate variability are affecting marine mammal species these impacts projected to continue in the coming decades. Vulnerability assessments provide a framework for evaluating over broad range of using currently available information. We conducted trait-based vulnerability assessment expert elicitation 108 stocks stock groups western North Atlantic, Gulf Mexico, Caribbean Sea. Our approach combined exposure (projected environmental conditions) sensitivity (ability tolerate...
ABSTRACT Assessing the genetic diversity of a population is critical to evaluate its resilience in face anthropogenic impacts. This study aimed assess and structure spinner dolphins ( Stenella longirostris ) that inhabit Santos Basin (SB), south southeast Brazil. Analyses were conducted using seven microsatellite loci 686 bp fragment mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region. The relationship between SB with island‐associated Fernando de Noronha distributed western North Atlantic, including...
Efforts to identify the specific causal mechanisms responsible for beaked whale strandings coincident with naval exercises have been hampered by lack of data concerning hearing abilities whales and their physiological behavioral responses sound. In this study, auditory capabilities a stranded Gervais’ (Mesoplodon europaeus) were investigated measuring evoked potentials. Click-evoked potentials, thresholds as function frequency, modulation rate transfer determined. The potentials similar...
We conducted a retrospective study of serum biochemistry and hematologic findings from displaced, out-of-habitat bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) exposed to various low salinity environments in waters along the southern United States including southeastern Atlantic northern Gulf Mexico. Serum sodium, chloride, calculated osmolality were significantly lower below reference ranges displaced animals compared free-ranging case control animals. This suggests clinical hyponatremia,...
Common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) exposed to freshwater or low salinity (<10 practical units; PSU) for prolonged periods of time have been documented develop skin lesions, corneal edema and electrolyte abnormalities, in some instances they died. Here we review a case an out-of-habitat subadult, female common dolphin that remained lake Seminole, Alabama at least 32 days. Due concerns the dolphin's health rescue was initiated. At bloodwork results indicated minor abnormalities...
This study describes lingual papillomas and squa- mous cell carcinomas (n = 11) genital pap- illomas 4) in Atlantic bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) evaluated from January 2000 to 2005. Tumors were found primarily adult of both sexes living free-ranging captive conditions. Three had mul- tiple tumors mixed histological type, consisting squamous car- cinomas, suggesting malignant transformation the benign papillomatous lesions. To our knowl- edge, this is first report oral concurrent...

ABSTRACT Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) is an exfoliative dermatitis that results from infection with toxin-producing Staphylococcus aureus . SSSS seen primarily in infants and children. Here we ask if there a specific maturation process protects healthy adults this syndrome. For these studies, active recombinant toxin A (rETA) was used neonatal mouse model. time course generated on the susceptibility to as function of age indicated BALB/c mice developed characteristic symptoms...
On March 2, 2005 approximately 70 rough-toothed dolphins (Steno bredanensis) mass stranded along mud flats and associated canals on the Atlantic Ocean side of Marathon Key, Florida. Forty-six were necropsied placed into two groups for analysis: Group-1 animals (N = 34; 65%)) that died prior to medical intervention rehabilitative efforts Group-2 =12; 35%) in rehabilitation. Thirty-four females (18 adults, 5 juvenile/subadult, 7 calves, 4 undetermined age) 12 males (6 juvenile/subadults, 1...
Rough-toothed dolphins (Steno bredanensis) are a common mass stranding species in Florida. These large events typically include small number of sick or injured individuals and much larger healthy individuals, making rapid triage essential. Little data exist on rehabilitation outcomes, historically, successful outcomes limited. Furthermore, very little the feeding habits dietary needs this species. This study compared morphology body index (BMI) two rough-toothed dolphin Florida: August 2004...

A free-ranging, adult, female offshore bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) was found freshly dead in 1999 on Ocean Park Beach San Juan, Puerto Rico. The left-lung and right-lung pleura had multiple white, firm-to-hard nodules with coagulative necrosis. Histologically, the neoplasms were characterized by well-circumscribed, nonencapsulated expansile masses consisting mostly of polygonal cells fewer circumferential flattened basaloid that compressed alveoli, bronchioles, bronchi....
