Scientists have discovered that Australasian killer whales revolve around matrilineal ties after using DNA to determine their populations across the region. Killer whales are the ocean’s […]
Flinders University researchers have sequenced the genomes of dolphins, revealing variations that may influence their deadly immune response to a measles related virus. Climate change and […]
Extensive satellite tracking has revealed important new knowledge about the little known pygmy blue whale population of Southern Australia. Marine scientists from Flinders University, Australian Marine […]
Social clusters including mothers’ groups play an important role in the life of southern Australian bottlenose dolphins, a new study shows. Similar in giraffes, lions, hyenas […]
Ocean warming, noise pollution and fishing are major concerns for dolphins in southern Australia, not just Adelaide and Melbourne metropolitan coastal areas but in particular for […]
When it comes to wooing the ‘ladies’, it turns out male bottlenose dolphins seem to employ similar tactics to some human groups. Flinders field work on the […]
One of the first large-scale aerial surveys of the eastern Great Australian Bight found significant populations of dolphins and whales, underlining the importance of the region […]
New research at Flinders University has found genetic variations in South Australia’s bottlenose dolphins makes them susceptible to a deadly measles-related virus, particularly in heatwave conditions. […]
