Another new paper out this week: A culturally transmitted foraging technique in Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins can be predicted by DNA-methylation levels royalsocietypublishing.org/rstb/article...

A culturally transmitted foraging technique in Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins can be predicted by DNA-methylation levelsAbstract. Cultural repertoires can influence access to resources and fitness across species, impacting individuals' environmental niches and social networkroyalsocietypublishing.org

Nice to see one of my photos of the #SharkBay sponging dolphins on the cover of this #PhilTransB special issue 📸

Do animals use names? Conceptual and empirical criteriaIn recent years, several claims have been put forth suggesting that animals of different species address each other using receiver-specific calls that function as individual names. If accurate, this w...www.cell.com

What a treat - this is the third time the Shark Bay dolphins have made the cover of @pnas.org! You can read more about our new paper - led by @alicebouchard.bsky.social in the current issue www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... @bristolbiosci.bsky.social @researchdolphin.bsky.social

Nice coverage of our new paper in National Geographic @alicebouchard.bsky.social www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...

How female dolphins know which males to avoidA new study suggests female bottlenose dolphins may have a strategy for steering clear of males with a history of pushy mating tactics.www.nationalgeographic.com

So happy to welcome @francae.bsky.social to the team! 🥳🐬

New paper in @pnas.org - using playback experiments we provide further evidence that bottlenose dolphins can use individual identity signals + social memory to guide decision-making. Female dolphins use individual vocal labels to track coercive males | PNAS www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Just finished an incredible two month field season in Shark Bay #Gathaagudu - big thank you to all my wonderful team members 🙏🏻 So much appreciation for the animals and the time I get to spend with them. You have my heart Shark Bay 🫶

One month of amazing fieldwork with some of my favourite people - 33 playbacks done for our next whistle study and some lovely observations of dolphin behaviour. Always such a privilege to be here and we are lucky enough to have another month of fieldwork ahead of us 🙏🏻 #sharkbay #gathaagudu

So happy to be back in Shark Bay #Gathaagudu for two months of fieldwork 🫶

New OA paper @royalsocietypublishing.org: What can we learn from bonobos and bottlenose dolphins about the evolution of between-group cooperation? royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article... Lovely collab with @lirsamuni.bsky.social Martin Surbeck and Richard Connor.

New paper on magpie vocal development led by @stephaniellaura.bsky.social ⬇️

Fantastic opportunity to work with us at Shark Bay Dolphin Research 👇🏻

I’m one of the lucky people to have been mentored by @andyradford.bsky.social and I can’t think of anyone that deserves this award more than he does 🙌🏻

Huge congratulations to @ebablab.bsky.social - can’t think of anyone more deserving! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Reposting now @samhill-cousins.bsky.social is on Bluesky - he is about to start an exciting PhD with @researchdolphin.bsky.social so follow him for more cool science!
