Abstract Frequency modulation (FM) is believed to play a major role in encoding information tonal vocal communication. However, most studies aimed at investigating acoustic variability rely on the manual measurement of parameters, and implementation multivariate techniques, which represent only partially sound FM. Thus, innovative modelling approaches able capture local FM dynamics are needed for sounds modelling. These kinds methodological developments bioacoustics might be key further...
ABSTRACT The analysis of skin marks and lesions is used for many cetacean species to assess the general health status populations with purpose developing effective conservation strategies. This study applies mark characterise common bottlenose dolphin ( Tursiops truncatus ) lesions, their variation at individual level across years, in Tiber River Estuary area (Mediterranean Sea, Italy), test efficacy as proxies or population health. Using high‐quality photographic data collected between 2016...
ABSTRACT The acoustic ecology of a previously unexamined dolphin population in the Mediterranean was assessed by investigating how sound emissions and features are influenced concurrent conditions. Whistles click‐trains emission rates were compared among different environmental, social behavioural Structural variability 3928 good/high‐quality vocalizations analysed relation to contexts through two‐stage approach. First, two multivariate MANOVA‐models fitted considering entire set parameters...

Stranding records regarding the striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) were collected from Italian Network database (CIBRA), online open sources databases and scientific literature in a period ranging 1983 to 2021. Recordings classified into Mediterranean geographic areas according International Hydrographic Organization. A total of 1500 stranded individuals considered analysis. The showed highest median length 188 cm (IR=38.5, n=95) Adriatic Sea. value weight was recorded Western Sea, with...
