The following article has just become available online: Mid-distance movements of common bottlenose dolphins in the coastal waters of Greece Giovanni Bearzi, Silvia Bonizzoni, Joan Gonzalvo. 2010. Journal of Ethology. DOI 10.1007/s10164-010-0245-x ABSTRACT -- While bottlenose dolphins in Mediterranean waters often display a high degree of site fidelity, movements across distant areas can occur. Such movements have important implications in terms of population viability, particularly in basins with low bottlenose dolphin densities. We report movements of nine individuals photoidentified up to 265 km apart in western Greece. Four showed a certain degree of site fidelity to one area across several years, but were also found elsewhere, with two individuals moving between two areas. This study provides further evidence that animals appearing to be 'resident' within a given area can temporarily leave and range widely. --- A pdf copy can be obtained from the journal's web site: http://tinyurl.com/33k9wxq or from me: giovanni.bearzi@gmail.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Giovanni Bearzi http://www.coastaldolphins.org/giovanni_bearzi.htm
