| humpback dolphins: a brief introduction to the genus sousa. | the delphinid genus sousa has recently undergone a major revision, and currently contains four species, the atlantic humpback (sousa teuszii), indian ocean humpback (sousa plumbea), indo-pacific humpback (sousa chinensis), and australian humpback (sousa sahulensis) dolphins. recent molecular evidence suggests that humpback dolphins in the bay of bengal may comprise a fifth species. these moderate-sized dolphin species are found in shallow (<30m), coastal waters of the eastern atlantic, indian, a ... | 2015 | 26555620 |
| a review of the geographical distribution and habitat of the atlantic humpback dolphin (sousa teuszii). | understanding of the distributional ecology of the atlantic humpback dolphin (sousa teuszii) has been hampered by a lack of systematic and consistent sampling effort. the only comprehensive species distribution review was published in 2004; since then a considerable amount of novel information has emerged. we compiled 853 sighting, capture and specimen records of the species, and produced global and regional distribution maps. of the 830 records where year was available, 63.1% dated from ≥2005 a ... | 2015 | 26555623 |
| re-assessment of the conservation status of the atlantic humpback dolphin, sousa teuszii (), using the iucn red list criteria. | the atlantic humpback dolphin (sousa teuszii) is an obligate shallow water dolphin that is endemic to the western coasts of africa, ranging from western sahara to angola. the species occurs exclusively in a limited number of near-shore habitats, a tendency that routinely exposes it to a suite of lethal and deleterious anthropogenic threats. these include habitat degradation, accidental capture in artisanal fishing nets, and hunting for use as food and bait. the species also competes with rapidly ... | 2015 | 26555622 |
