Dear all,
My co-authors and I are pleased to announce the recent publication of our short note in Aquatic Mammals
Nicola J. Quick, Barbara Cheney, Paul M. Thompson, and Philip S. Hammond. (2017). Can the Camera Lie? A Nonpermanent Nick in a Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). Aquatic Mammals 43(2), 156-161.
This note documents a dorsal fin nick on a bottlenose dolphin that seemingly appears and then disappears within a day. We discuss the possible causes and implications for those carrying out photo-id.
The note is available at https://doi.org/10.1578/AM.43.2.2017.156
