Dear MARMAM community,

My co-authors and I are pleased to share this chapter on the Common Dolphin (Delphinus delphis Linnaeus, 1758) recently published online as part of the Handbook of the Mammals of Europe book series:

Saavedra, C., Petitguyot, M., Bearzi, G., Pierce, G.J. (2021). Common Dolphin Delphinus delphis Linnaeus, 1758. In: Hackländer, K., Zachos, F.E. (eds) Handbook of the Mammals of Europe. Handbook of the Mammals of Europe. Springer, Cham. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-65038-8_108-1

This comprehensive species-specific chapter covers all aspects of the mammalian biology, including paleontology, physiology, genetics, reproduction and development, ecology, habitat, diet, mortality, and behavior. The economic significance and management of mammals and future challenges for research and conservation are addressed as well. The chapter includes a distribution map, a photograph of the animal, and a list of key literature.
