Dear MARMAM community,

My coauthors and I are happy to share with you two papers recently published on the home range dynamics and trophic interactions of bottlenose dolphins exposed to long-term habitat degradation in the coastal waters of southern Florida (Biscayne Bay, in the Miami area):

Cardé, J., Litz, J., Brossard, A., Wicker, J., Contillo, J. & Kiszka, J., 2025. Long-term dynamics of the home range and community structure of bottlenose dolphins in an estuarine ecosystem in southern Florida. Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 35: e70253. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/aqc.70253

Cardé, J., Caputo, M., Litz, J., Brossard, A., Wicker, J., Contillo, J. & Kiszka, J., 2026. Community-level variation in the trophic interactions of common bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, experiencing a reduction of their foraging habitat. Marine Mammal Science, 42: e70090. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/mms.70090 

Please don't hesitate to contact me (jecarde@fiu.edu) for a pdf copy or to ask any questions. 

Sincerely,

Jessica Cardé
