  • Ecological and Life History Factors Influence Habitat and Tool Use in Wild Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops Sp.)
    ECOLOGICAL AND LIFE HISTORY FACTORS INFLUENCE HABITAT AND TOOL USE IN WILD BOTTLENOSE DOLPHINS (TURSIOPS SP.) A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biology By Eric Michael Patterson, B.S. Washington, DC December 7, 2012 Copyright 2011 by Eric Michael Patterson All Rights Reserved ii ECOLOGICAL AND LIFE HISTORY FACTORS INFLUENCE HABITAT AND TOOL USE IN WILD BOTTLENOSE DOLPHINS (TURSIOPS SP.) Eric Michael Patterson, B.S. Thesis Advisor: Janet Mann, Ph.D. ABSTRACT While it has long been known that individual animals behave quite distinctively from other conspecifics, only recently has this intraspecific behavioral variation itself been the subject of investigation rather than a nuisance in statistical analyses. As research amounts, it is becoming ever more apparent that the ecology of individuals can have real and measurable biological consequences. Previous studies have documented pronounced inter-individual variation in foraging behaviors in Shark Bay wild bottlenose dolphins, which often coincide with individual specialization. In this dissertation I examine how individuals’ phenotypic characteristics relate to their foraging behavior, habitat use, and ranging. In Chapter 1 I explore habitat and ranging for adult male and female bottlenose dolphins. Dolphins show marked intraspecific variation in both habitat use and ranging, which partially relates to foraging tactic, sex, and season. However, some variation cannot be explained by any obvious phenotypic or ecological factors, highlighting the importance of individual level analyses, especially for conservation and management. In Chapter 2 I examine the underlying basis of one foraging tactic involving tool use: sponge foraging.

    Draft version August 19, 2020 Typeset using LATEX twocolumn style in AASTeX63 Revised and new proper motions for confirmed and candidate Milky Way dwarf galaxies Alan W. McConnachie1 and Kim A. Venn2 1NRC Herzberg Astronomy and Astrophysics, 5071 West Saanich Road, Victoria, B.C., Canada, V9E 2E7 2Physics & Astronomy Department, University of Victoria, 3800 Finnerty Rd, Victoria, B.C., Canada, V8P 5C2 ABSTRACT A new derivation of systemic proper motions of Milky Way satellites is presented, and applied to 59 confirmed or candidate dwarf galaxy satellites using Gaia Data Release 2. This constitutes all known Milky Way dwarf galaxies (and likely candidates) as of May 2020 except the Magellanic Clouds, the Canis Major and Hydra 1 stellar overdensities, and the tidally disrupting Bootes III and Sagittarius dwarf galaxies. We derive systemic proper motions for the first time for Indus 1, DES J0225+0304, Cetus 2, Pictor 2 and Leo T, but note that the latter three rely on photometry that is of poorer quality than for the rest of the sample. We cannot resolve a signal for Bootes 4, Cetus 3, Indus 2, Pegasus 3, or Virgo 1. Our method is inspired by the maximum likelihood approach of Pace & Li(2019) and examines simultaneously the spatial, color-magnitude, and proper motion distribution of sources. Systemic proper motions are derived without the need to identify confirmed radial velocity members, although the proper motions of these stars, where available, are incorporated into the analysis through a prior on the model. The associated uncertainties on the systemic proper motions are on average a factor of ∼ 1:4 smaller than existing literature values.
