    Ecological Factors Influencing Group Sizes of River Dolphins (Inia Geoffrensis and Sotalia Fluviatilis)

    MARINE MAMMAL SCIENCE, **(*): ***–*** (*** 2011) C 2011 by the Society for Marine Mammalogy DOI: 10.1111/j.1748-7692.2011.00496.x Ecological factors influencing group sizes of river dolphins (Inia geoffrensis and Sotalia fluviatilis) CATALINA GOMEZ-SALAZAR Biology Department, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia B3H4J1, Canada and Foundation Omacha, Calle 86A No. 23–38, Bogota, Colombia E-mail: [email protected] FERNANDO TRUJILLO Foundation Omacha, Calle 86A No. 23–38, Bogota, Colombia HAL WHITEHEAD Biology Department, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia B3H4J1, Canada ABSTRACT Living in groups is usually driven by predation and competition for resources. River dolphins do not have natural predators but inhabit dynamic systems with predictable seasonal shifts. These ecological features may provide some insight into the forces driving group formation and help us to answer questions such as why river dolphins have some of the smallest group sizes of cetaceans, and why group sizes vary with time and place. We analyzed observations of group size for Inia and Sotalia over a 9 yr period. In the Amazon, largest group sizes occurred in main rivers and lakes, particularly during the low water season when resources are concentrated; smaller group sizes occurred in constricted waters (channels, tributaries, and confluences) that receive an influx of blackwaters that are poor in nutrients and sediments. In the Orinoco, the largest group sizes occurred during the transitional water season when the aquatic productivity increases. The largest group size of Inia occurred in the Orinoco location that contains the influx of two highly productive whitewater rivers. Flood pulses govern productivity and major biological factors of these river basins.

    Global Patterns in Marine Mammal Distributions

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION I. TAXONOMIC DECISIONS In this work we followed Wilson and Reeder (2005) and Reeves, Stewart, and Clapham’s (2002) taxonomy. In the last 20 years several new species have been described such as Mesoplodon perrini (Dalebout 2002), Orcaella heinsohni (Beasley 2005), and the recognition of several species have been proposed for orcas (Perrin 1982, Pitman et al. 2007), Bryde's whales (Kanda et al. 2007), Blue whales (Garrigue et al. 2003, Ichihara 1996), Tucuxi dolphin (Cunha et al. 2005, Caballero et al. 2008), and other marine mammals. Since we used the conservation status of all species following IUCN (2011), this work is based on species recognized by this IUCN to keep a standardized baseline. II.

Whales are complex, often highly social and intelligent creatures. They are mammals like us. They breath air, have hair on their bodies (though only very little), give birth to live young and suckle their calves through mammary glands. But unlike us, whales are perfectly adapted to the marine environment with strong, muscular and streamlined bodies insulated by thick layers of blubber to keep them warm. Whales are gentle animals that have graced the planet for over 50 million years and are present in all oceans of the world. They capture our imagination like few other animals. The largest species of whales were hunted almost to extinction in the last few hundred years and have survived only thanks to conservation and protection efforts.

These collections are here summarized with a view to making them more accessible to re- searchers throughout the world. Fifty-eight species of marine mammal are known from Australian waters. These and many more from elsewhere are represented in the collections. Australian museums are an important source of material for wide-ranging studies on marine mammals, including refining the taxonomy of difficult and cosmopolitan genera such as Tursiops and Delphinus, and species such as beaked whales that are rare in world collections.
  • Snubfin Dolphin ©

    Snubfin Dolphin ©

    Species Fact Sheet: Snubfin dolphin © G u i d o J . P a r r a Snubfin Dolphin Orcaella heinsohni In 2005 a new species of dolphin was found in Australian waters, the Australian snubfin dolphin. The discovery of a new mammal is extremely rare. Until recently the snubfin dolphin was thought to be an Irrawaddy dolphin, which is found in coastal areas and major rivers of south-east Asia, and is in serious decline. The snubfin dolphin is Australia’s only endemic dolphin, meaning it is unique to northern Australia. Coastal and river dolphins are among the most threatened species of mammal in the world. Snubfin dolphins, like all dolphin species, are toothed cetaceans and therefore have one blow hole and are generally smaller in size compared with the baleen cetaceans like the humpback whale. © G u i d o J .

    Orcaella Brevirostris Orcinus Orca Globicephala Melas

    click for previous page 118 Marine Mammals of the World Orcaella brevirostris (Gray, 1866) DELPH Orcae 1 IRD FAO Names: En - lrrawaddy dolphin; Fr - Orcelle; Sp - Delfín del Irawaddy. Fig. 270 Orcaella brevirostris Distinctive Characteristics: The lrrawaddy dol- phin resembles the finless porpoise, but unlike that species, it has dorsal fin. The fin is small and triangular, with a bluntly rounded tip, and is set just behind midback. The large flippers have curved leading edges and rounded tips. The head is blunt, with no beak; the mouthline is straight, and there may be a visible neck crease. The U-shaped blowhole is open toward the front, the reverse of the situation in most dolphin species. DORSAL VIEW The back and sides of lrrawaddy dolphins are grey to bluish grey; the belly is somewhat lighter. Tooth counts are 17 to 20 (upper) and 15 to 18 (lower) in each row. The teeth have slightly ex- panded crowns. VENTRAL VIEW DORSAL VIEW OF MANDIBLE LATERAL VIEW Fig. 271 Skull Cetacea - Odontoceti-Delpinae 119 Can be confused with: lrrawaddy dolphins can be confused with finless porpoises (p. 192) or dugongs (p. 212) in the parts of their range where these species overlap. When a clear view is obtained, lrrawaddy dolphins are distinguishable because neither of the other species has a dorsal fin. Size: This is a relatively small dolphin: adults range from 2 to 2.75 m. Scant evidence indicates that the length at birth is about 1 m. Geographical Distribution: lrrawaddy dolphins inhabit coastal, brackish, and fresh waters of the tropical and subtropical Indo-Pacific.
