	Tursio_trunca
		Tursiops truncatus, the bottlenose dolphin, is a toothed whale of the Family Delphinidae, which includes approximately 30 species of dolphins, pilot whales, killer whales and false killer whales.
		Tursiops truncatus is a cosmopolitan species found in both tropical and temperate waters of the world's oceans (Wells and Scott 1999).
		Tursiops truncatus is found throughout the Indian River Lagoon, with a resident population estimated to be between 200 and 800 individuals.

	Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)
		The genus Tursiops is polymorphic and at least 20 species have been described (Mead and Potter 1990).
		Because systematic works have been conducted on relatively small sample sizes and restricted geographic areas, however, there is not a general consensus on the validity of these species (Mead and Potter 1990, Ross and Cockcroft 1990).
		The bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is a cosmopolitan species and found in almost all oceans except for the very high latitude.

		The Tursiops is born with 42.5% of its final brain weight and takes 9 to 10 years to reach adult levels.
		The nasal opening is shifted to the left of the cranial midline and in Tursiops the echolocation beam is projected slightly to the left, which may help explain the RH advantage in cortical surface area.
		Tursiops have five different kinds of vocalizations, echolocation and four which is involved in communication.

	Tursiope (Tursiops Trucantus) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		the Tursiope has a powerful swim and it is capable to catch up speeds that exceed 30 Km/h; it possesses remarkable acrobatic abilities and often goes nearby boats pushing itself in the bow wave.
		Beacons of its presence are the appearance on water surface of the dorsal fin and the back, when the animal emerges to breathe, or sprays caused by its movement in the water (jumps and fast swim).
		The Tursiope it is a not frequently seen cetaceum in Liguria Sea, especially in the western portion; in fact, it turns out to be one of the species less sighted during the whale excursions watching.

	DeQuincy Faulcon :: Research
		The Tursiops truncatus or bottlenose dolphins can be migratory or resident with some animals passing through and others remaining for the duration of the summer.
		In 1987 and 1988 there was an estimated decrease of 50% in the population because the Tursiops were subjected to biomagnifications of toxin.
		Sightings of the Tursiops can be compared with the remotely sensed data to determine a correlation between the sea surface temperature, chlorophyll alpha and the movement of the species.

	Bottlenose Dolphin, Tursiops truncatus @ MarineBio.org
		The Bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, is the largest of the beaked dolphins weighing in at 150-200 kg.
		The genus Tursiops is distinguished by the short, well-defnined snout or beak which is about 8 cm long and apparently resembles the top of an old-fashioned gin bottle.
		Tursiops also has a larger brain than those of humans, and shows a high degree of what humans consider intelligence.

		Tursiops truncatus (the bottlenose dolphin) has a worldwide distribution, ranging from the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
		Cetacea includes all the living and fossil whales, and odontocetes are the toothed whales, which in addition to ocean dolphins such as Tursiops, also includes river dolphins, porpoises, orcas, sperm whales, beaked whales, belugas, and narwhals.

	CMS: Tursiops aduncus, Indian Ocean bottlenose dolphin
		This congruence is strong evidence that the sympatric morphotypes in Chinese waters are reproductively isolated and comprise two distinct species, with important implications for the conservation of bottlenose dolphins in Chinese waters.
		Investigations by Curry (1997) indicate the separation of Tursiops aduncus and Tursiops truncatus into two clades: Tursiops aduncus ranges along the coast of eastern Africa from Cape Province north to the Red Sea, thence eastward through the Persian Gulf, Arabian Sea, and Bay of Bengal, as far as Taiwan, thence south-east to northern Australia.
		Stock delineations are necessary to assess the impacts of die-off and fishery mortalities on bottlenose stocks, and to conserve population units (Curry, 1997).

		Abstract: Bottlenose dolphins (tursiops truncatus) collected during the 1987/88 mass mortality event along the Atlantic coast of the United States have been analyzed for coplanar pcbs #77, 105, 126 and 169 in blubber, and for the metals hg, pb, cd, mn, and cr, and the non-metallic element Se in liver.
		Autopsied bottlenose dolphins, tursiops truncatus, which were collected from the large-scale mortality along the Atlantic coast in 1987 to 1988, exhibited opportunistic infections indicative of immune dysfunction.
		Stranding records of neonatal dolphins and observed births from a long-term field study were used to estimate peak periods of birth for wild populations, and information from captive-breeding colonies was used to assess the effects of latitude and origin of breeding females on timing of birth for dolphins in captivity.

		The aim of this review is a critical evaluation of existent knowledge on Black Sea bottlenose dolphins with special respect to their taxonomic position, distribution, abundance, important threats and survival potentialities.
		2 Taxonomy The bottlenose dolphin is a single representative of the genus Tursiops and one of two Delphinidae species in the Black Sea (Table 1).
		Later, Kleinenberg (1956) has examined 21 skulls and 50 carcasses which were 155-310 cm long with the mean length of 275 and 233 cm in mature males and females, respectively.

		It may surprise some people that, scientists have actually classified over 35 different species of marine and freshwater dolphins.
		These different dolphin species display a wide variety of body shapes, sizes and color patterns, however, the "classic" gray bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is certainly the one most widely recognized.
		Not only is this the species most often found in zoological parks and aquariums, but it is also the one usually featured in the popular press, television shows and movies, such as "Flipper".
