Journal Article
Hoffman, J., Bauer, E., Paijmans, A., Humble, E., Beckmann, L., Kubetschek, C., Christaller, F., Kröcker, N., Fuchs, B., Moreras, A., Shihlomule, Y., Bester, M., Cleary, A., De Bruyn, P., Forcada, J., Goebel, M., Goldsworthy, S., Guinet, C., Hoelzel, A., Lydersen, C., …Lowther, A. (2018). A global cline in a colour polymorphism suggests a limited contribution of gene flow towards the recovery of a heavily exploited marine mammal. Royal Society Open Science, 5(10), Article 181227. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.181227

Evaluating how populations are connected by migration is important for understanding species resilience because gene flow can facilitate recovery from demographic declines. We therefore investigated the extent to which migration may have contributed...

Hybridization in bottlenose dolphins—A case study of Tursiops aduncus × T. truncatus hybrids and successful backcross hybridization events (2018)
Journal Article
Gridley, T., Elwen, S., Harris, G., Moore, D., Hoelzel, A., & Lampen, F. (2018). Hybridization in bottlenose dolphins—A case study of Tursiops aduncus × T. truncatus hybrids and successful backcross hybridization events. PLoS ONE, 13(9), Article e0201722. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0201722

The bottlenose dolphin, genus Tursiops is one of the best studied of all the Cetacea with a minimum of two species widely recognised. Common bottlenose dolphins (T. truncatus), are the cetacean species most frequently held in captivity and are known...

Genomics of habitat choice and adaptive evolution in a deep-sea fish (2018)
Journal Article
Gaither, M. R., Gkafas, G. A., de Jong, M., Sarigol, F., Neat, F., Regnier, T., Moore, D., Grӧcke, D. R., Hall, N., Liu, X., Kenny, J., Lucaci, A., Hughes, M., Haldenby, S., & Hoelzel, A. R. (2018).

Intraspecific diversity promotes evolutionary change, and when partitioned among geographic regions or habitats can form the basis for speciation. Marine species live in an environment that can provide as much scope for diversification in the vertica... Read More about Genomics of habitat choice and adaptive evolution in a deep-sea fish.

Eco-Evolutionary Processes Generating Diversity Among Bottlenose Dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, Populations off Baja California, Mexico (2018)
Journal Article
Segura-García, I., Rojo-Arreola, L., Rocha-Olivares, A., Heckel, G., Gallo-Reynoso, J. P., & Hoelzel, R. (2018). Eco-Evolutionary Processes Generating Diversity Among Bottlenose Dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, Populations off Baja California, Mexico. Evolutionary Biology, 45(2), 223-236. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11692-018-9445-z

For highly mobile species that nevertheless show fine-scale patterns of population genetic structure, the relevant evolutionary mechanisms determining structure remain poorly understood. The bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is one such species...
