Bottlenose dolphins share fish farm areas while maintaining sexual segregation: Investigating group memberships through spatially and temporally explicit parameters

Abstract: Group membership is a key attribute of animal societies and central to the study of social structure in several taxa. However, social structure analyses are sensitive to the way data are collected and associations defined. In this study, a time–space method was used to investigate the social structure of common bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus observed and photographed across 7 years in the semi‐enclosed Gulf of Corinth, Greece. Instead of adopting traditional group definitions, individuals were consider… Show more

“…The Gulf of Corinth is inhabited by common bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus (hereafter "bottlenose dolphins"), striped dolphins, common dolphins, striped  common dolphin hybrids, and a single Risso's dolphin Grampus griseus (Antoniou et al, 2018;Bearzi et al, 2016;Frantzis & Herzing, 2002). Consistent research effort from 2009 through 2017 resulted in baseline information on the abundance, movements, habitat preferences and conservation status of these odontocete species within the Gulf (Bearzi et al, 2011(Bearzi et al, , 2016Bonizzoni et al, 2019Bonizzoni et al, , 2023Santostasi et al, 2016). parallel to their route, while avoiding sudden changes of speed and direction as recommended by Würsig and Jefferson (1990).…”

“…Following the method described by Bonizzoni et al (2023), associations relied on the time and position metadata of dorsal fin photographs. Individuals were considered associated if they were photographed at least once within a given time and space interval of one another, and not associated otherwise.…”
