Whole-Genome-Sequencing Reveals Demographic History and Patterns of Parallel Adaptive Evolution in Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) Across Coastal Australian Seascapes
How do dolphins adapt to vastly different environments? A genomic study of bottlenose dolphins around Australia reveals parallel adaptation to tropical waters and uncovers how evolution, environment, and demographic history shape marine populations.

Identifying social learning through peering: predictions and recommendations
A new perspective article explores how “peering”, the sustained observation of conspecifics, can reveal social learning in animals. The proposed framework aims to strengthen research on culture, knowledge transmission, and cognitive evolution.

Model-based Metric 3D Shape and Motion Reconstruction of Wild Bottlenose Dolphins in Drone-Shot Videos
A new computer vision approach enables accurate 3D reconstruction of wild bottlenose dolphins from drone videos. The method captures both body shape and movement in natural settings, opening new possibilities for non-invasive wildlife research.
