Odontocete Stranding Patterns in the Main Hawaiian Islands (1937-2002): How Do They Compare with Live Animal Surveys?
TL;DR: Comparison with four previously published live animal survey studies suggests that stranding records are a good indicator of species composition and yield reasonable data on the frequency of occurrence of species in the region they cover.
Patterns of Use of Maku'a Beach, O'ahu, Hawai'i, by Spinner Dolphins (Stenella longirostris) and Potential Effects of Swimmers on Their Behavior
TL;DR: The results suggest a potential adverse impact of swimmers on the dolphins’ resting patterns, with earlier departure times and shorter periods of dive behavior indicative of rest in this population of dolphins.

“Porpicide” in California: Killing of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) by coastal bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)
TL;DR: It is needed to know more information about bottlenose dolphin social structure at the time of aggression, as attacks occurred at the height of the breeding season, and/or a skewed operational sex ratio.

Assessing killer whale predation on steller sea lions from field observations in kenai fjords, alaska
TL;DR: The behavioral and predatory patterns of Gulf of Alaska (GOA) transient killer whales (Orcinus orca) were studied between 2000 and 2005 using remote video and vessel-based observations near the Chiswell Island Steller sea lion rookery and in the broader Kenai Fjords (KF) region of the northern GOA as mentioned in this paper.

Prevalence of Epidermal Conditions in California Coastal Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Monterey Bay
TL;DR: Pox-Like Lesions were the most prevalent, affecting 80% of the population, including adults and calves, and this condition warrants the most urgent investigation being possibly indicative of the widespread presence of poxvirus or a similar pathogen in the population.
