Age is an important parameter for the study of ecology and population dynamics. Current methodologies for age estimation in cetaceans generally involve invasive or postmortem techniques. They are not suitable for wild marine mammals with small populations. Our previous study shows that in Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins, both the number and size of body speckles increase with age. We observed speckles of 41 known-age individuals (28 females and 13 males) between the ages of 7 and 25 years using underwater video data. The ages of individuals were obtained from a long-term identification survey since 1994. Here, we created an age-estimation model using quantification theory type I analysis. The model estimated the age accurately from speckle observation (R-2 = 0.77, standard deviation of 2.58 years). We clarified the age of 89 individuals (64% of 139 unknown age individuals) near Mikura Island. This is the first study to use a noninvasive age estimation method to statistically verify its accuracy and revealed the age of the majority of the population. - Tadamichi Morisaka; Mai Sakai; Hiromitsu Hama; Kazunobu KogiMammalian Biology 2022/09 [Refereed]

Bottlenose dolphins perform flipper rubbing in which they rub their partners with their pectoral fins. Considered similar to social grooming in primates, which have social and hygienic functions, flipper rubbing has been suggested to possess certain social functions. However, there are no reports based on quantitative data to support a hygienic function of this behavior. In this study, flipper rubbing and self-rubbing were observed in a group of three captive mother-calf dolphin pairs. In 19.2% of the observed 806 flipper-to-body rubbings and 54% of the 276 self-rubbings, dead skin was shed from the rubbed body part. There was a significant negative correlation between the number of flipper-to-body rubbing episodes the subjects received and their performance of self-rubbing. These results suggest that a function of flipper rubbing is to maintain and care for the body surface. In all mother-calf pairs, the mother rubbed her calf significantly more often than the calf rubbed the mother. Furthermore, each mother became a rubber significantly more often when their own offspring was their rubbing partner than when the partner was any other individual. These findings suggest that flipper rubbing is a mother-to-calf caring behavior. - Genfu Yagi; Mai Sakai; Kazunobu KogiMARINE MAMMAL SCIENCE WILEY 38 (1) 73 - 86 0824-0469 2022/01 [Refereed]
Age estimating wild dolphins using noninvasive methods will improve our understanding of their ontogeny. Speckles appear on the ventral through to the lateral areas of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) as they age. Age-related changes in the speckle density and shape were examined using type classification. Speckles first appeared on the ventral area of the genital area at approximately 6.5 years. They increased in two specific directions, from the genital area to the jaw and from the ventral side to the lateral side. The speckle shape changed with aging from a dot-shape to oblong. Individuals aged over 35 years possessed more speckles than those aged 24-26 years. The oldest age category of dolphins in this study was over 35 years. The speckling area similarly increased with age for all individuals. Therefore, the results suggest that speckle condition can be used to estimate age. The relationship between speckling area and age showed no significant sexual dimorphism except near the genital slit area. There was no speckle area around the genital slit which differed in shape between the sexes. Therefore, speckle patch shape may be a useful sex confirmation tool. - Rikiya TAKAHASHI; Nozomi KOBAYASHI; Suguru HIGA; Mai SAKAIJapanese Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine Japanese Society of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine 26 (4) 143 - 146 1342-6133 2021/12 [Refereed]

In this study, we used a cooperative rope-pulling task to investigate how bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) coordinate their behavior with a partner. Dolphins successfully learned and were able to perform the task, even when one subject started after the other. In the no-delay condition (i.e., both subjects sent at the same time), one pair of dolphins showed coordinated behaviors. When pairs were successful in solving the task in the delay condition (i.e., one individual sent later than the other), the initiators (i.e., first individual sent) were likely to wait for the follower to arrive, and the follower was likely to swim faster when the initiator did not wait and started pulling the rope alone. These coordinated behaviors might help resolve the given cooperative task. Our results suggest that bottlenose dolphins learn to coordinate their behaviors via trial and error and recognize the necessity of performing simultaneous actions with a partner to successfully accomplish cooperative tasks. In addition, both partners showed behavioral changes over many trials of no-delay and delay conditions, suggesting that bidirectional coordination occurred in the cooperative task.

Fluid dynamic effects between adjacent streamline bodies have a conspicuous role in drag reduction. One typical example is a dolphin drafting. When two dolphins such as a mother and a calf swim side by side, the calf seldom flaps its tail fin, indicating the calf utilizes the fluid dynamic force between the two bodies as a thrust. This force is generated by the Venturi effect. In this study, wind tunnel tests were conducted with two streamline bodies of different sizes that mimicked the mother and the calf dolphins to clarify the fluid dynamic effects between two bodies at various relative positions. In consequence, the increase of friction drag by the acceleration of flow between two bodies and the thrust generation by the Venturi effect were confirmed as well as the optimum position to maximize the thrust, indicating the possibility of effective design of airplanes with external appendages. - Kimika Tsuji; Kazunobu Kogi; Mai Sakai; Tadamichi MorisakaAquatic Mammals 43 (6) 585 - 593 0167-5427 2017 [Refereed]
© Aquatic Mammals 2017. Emigration of individual animals is an important biological phenomenon that depends on both populations and ecosystem attributes. Off Mikura Island, a long-term identification survey of individual Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins has been conducted since 1994 using an underwater video system. Between 1994 and 2014, 277 individual dolphins were identified by this survey, with 41 individuals emigrating from Mikura Island during this period. Adults emigrated significantly more often than younger age classes. The sex and age classes of emigrants in 2008 and 2010 (the years with the greatest amount of emigration) differed, suggesting that social relationships within a population may affect emigration. Emigrants were observed among the Izu Island Chain and in Chiba, Shizuoka, Mie, and Wakayama Prefectures. The greatest distance dolphins emigrated from Mikura Island was 390 km to Tanabe in Wakayama Prefecture. Some individuals were observed to have emigrated to several areas during the period. The most frequent destination was Toshima Island, one of the Izu Islands Chain, where emigrants have been observed to reproduce. Emigrant groups were composed exclusively of individuals from Mikura Island; there were no immigrants to the Mikura Island area during the 20-y period of observation, although six emigrants eventually returned to their original range. Future studies of social relationships and habitat use by emigrants will reveal more about the reasons dolphins leave their habitats. - Mai Sakai; Yuki F.

Alloparental behaviour and adoption have been reported in many mammals and birds. Such behaviours are energetically costly, and their causes and functions remain unclear. We observed the adoption behaviour of a wild Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) near Mikura Island, Japan. A calf was seen with its mother on six observation days. Following the mother's death, the calf was observed with a sub-adult female on all 18 observation days from May to September 2012. On three days, the calf was observed swimming with this female in the suckling position and milk was seen leaking from the female's mammary slit. A five-year dataset revealed no significant social or kin relationships between the biological mother and allomother, indicating that kinship and social relationships did not play an important role in the observed adoption. - Tadamichi Morisaka; Mai Sakai; Kazunobu Kogi; Hiromitsu HamaGENETIC AND EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTING, VOL I SPRINGER-VERLAG BERLIN 387 105 - 111 2194-5357 2016 [Refereed]
This paper shows how simple, non-invasive measurement method is important for conserving large animals living underwater. We have studied free-ranging wild Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) around Mikura Island, Japan for about 15 years. We usually observe dolphin behavior and record acoustics underwater including photo-identification of every dolphins. Despite lots of video data, more basic information such as body size have lacked. In order to measure body size of the animals non-invasively, we used commercial measurement software which can measure the distance between two points on 3D photos by commercial 3D camera. Accuracy evaluation tests using a tape measure between 15 and 250 cm were conducted at the field site (Mikura Island) and the errors were within 5 % of the actual sizes. We successfully measured body size of 33 free-ranging wild dolphins. Mean absolute percentage error of the same individuals in different photos was within 4 % for dolphins. The average size of the adult dolphins was 249.6cm, which was the similar to the average actual size of 4 by-caught dolphins of the population (251.7 cm). We also opportunistically measured green turtles (Chelonia mydas) during our dolphin survey. Mean absolute percentage error of the same individuals in different photos was within 2 % for turtles. The average straight carapace length (SCL) of the 14 turtles was 48.3 cm (37.9 - 67.7 cm), which is much smaller than the adult green turtle length (80 - 111 cm). A simple measurement method is thus important to know the size of the large animals underwater, which indicates animal age and health condition, and are important for conserving these large animals. - MORISAKA Tadamichi; SAKAI Mai; SAKAI Mai; KOGI Kazunobu東海大学海洋研究所研究報告(Web) (36) 1‐7 (WEB ONLY) 2189-0617 2015/03

Commerson's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus commersonii), one of the smallest dolphin species, has been reported to produce only narrow-band high-frequency (NBHF) clicks and no whistles. To clarify their sound repertoire and examine the function of each type, we analysed the sounds and behaviour of captive Commerson's dolphins in Toba Aquarium, Japan. All recorded sounds were NBHF clicks with peak frequency >110kHz. The recorded click-trains were categorised into four types based on the changing pattern of their Inter-click intervals (ICI): Decreasing type, with continuously decreasing ICI during the last part of the train; Increasing type, with continuously increasing ICI during the last part; Fluctuating type, with fluctuating ICI; and Burst-pulse type, with very short and constant ICI. The frequency of the Decreasing type increased when approaching an object newly introduced to the tank, suggesting that the sound is used for echolocation on approach. The Burst-pulse type suddenly increased in front of the object and was often oriented towards it, suggesting that it was used for echolocation in close proximity to the object. In contrast, the Increasing type was rarely recorded during approach, but increased when a dolphin approached another dolphin. The Increasing and Burst-pulse types also increased when dolphins began social behaviours. These results suggest that some NBHF clicks have functions other than echolocation, such as communication. - Yayoi M.

Synchronous behavior, as a form of social interaction, has been widely reported for odontocete cetaceans observed at the sea surface. However, few studies have quantified synchronous behavior underwater. Using data from an animal-borne data recorder and camera, we described how a pair of deep-diving odontocetes, long-finned pilot whales, coordinated diving behavior. Diving data during overlapping periods of 3.7 h were obtained from two whales within a stable trio. The tagged whales made highly synchronous movements, and their dive durations differed only slightly (3 +/- 3 s). The pair of whales maintained a constant and narrow vertical separation (ca. 3 m) throughout synchronous dives. The overall fluking rate for the same travel speed during synchronous dives was virtually the same as that during asynchronous dives, suggesting that synchronous behavior did not affect locomotion effort. In addition, a possible affiliative behavior was recorded by the animal-borne camera: another individual appeared in 8% of the frames, both with and without body contact to the tagged whale. The primary type of body contact was flipper-to-body. Our study, the first on underwater synchronous behavior and body contact of pilot whales, highlights the utility of using animal-borne devices for enabling new insights into social interactions.

Mother-calf interactions and the behaviors of mothers during separation from their calves were examined in four Commerson's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus commersonii) mother-calf pairs. Four infants were observed: 56.8 h over 30 days from birth to 263 days of age, 36.9 h over 20 days from birth to 149 days of age, 10.4 h over 3 days from birth to 2 days of age, and 15.0 h over 3 days from birth to 2 days of age. All four pairs shared common characteristics in the rate and frequencies of mother-calf interactions and the behaviors of mothers during the first week of life. After the first week, individual differences in changes in the frequency of each behavior were observed. The three behaviors considered representative of maternal care (parallel swimming, synchronous breathing, and body-to-body contact) were frequently performed in the first week; thereafter, the frequencies declined. Separate behaviors of mothers were infrequent during the first week and increased with an increase in infants' age. Bumping by infants increased with time, suggesting an increase in soliciting by calves and conflict between mothers and calves. The frequency of flipper-to-body rubbing also changed but in a complex manner, probably because the calves needed to learn how to perform this behavior from their mothers and because initiator and recipient of this behavior can be changed quickly. © 2013 Japan Ethological Society and Springer Japan. - Tadamichi Morisaka; Mai Sakai; Kazunobu Kogi; Akane Nakasuji; Kasumi Sakakibara; Yuria Kasanuki; Motoi YoshiokaPLOS ONE PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE 8 (8) e72879 1932-6203 2013/08 [Refereed]
Spontaneous ejaculation, which is defined as the release of seminal fluids without apparent sexual stimulation, has been documented in boreoeutherian mammals. Here we report spontaneous ejaculation in a wild Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus), and present a video of this rare behavior. This is the first report of spontaneous ejaculation by an aquatic mammal, and the first video of this behavior in animals to be published in a scientific journal. - MORISAKA TADAMICHI; SAKAI MAI; KOGI KAZUNOBUヒトと動物の関係学会誌 ヒトと動物の関係学会 (35) 23 - 27 1341-8874 2013/07

Background: Observing and monitoring the underwater social interactions of cetaceans is challenging. Therefore, previous cetacean studies have monitored these interactions by surface observations. However, because cetaceans spend most of their time underwater, it is important that their underwater behavior is also continuously monitored to better understand their social relationships and social structure. The finless porpoise is small and has no dorsal fin. It is difficult to observe this species in the wild, and little is known of its sociality. Methodology/Principal Findings: The swim depths of 6 free-ranging finless porpoises were simultaneously recorded using a time-synchronized bio-logging system. Synchronous diving was used as an index of association. Two pairs, # 27 (an immature female estimated to be 3.5 years old) and # 32 (an adult male), # 28 (a juvenile male estimated to be 2 years old) and # 29 (an adult male), tended to participate in long periods of synchronized diving more frequently than 13 other possible pairs, indicating that the 4 porpoises chose their social partners. The adult males (# 32, # 29) tended to follow the immature female (# 27) and juvenile male (# 28), respectively. However, during synchronized diving, the role of an initiator often changed within the pair, and their body movements appeared to be non-agonistic, e. g., rubbing of bodies against one another instead of that on one-side, as observed with chasing and escaping behaviors. Conclusions/Significance: The present study employed a time-synchronized bio-logging method to observe the social relationships of free-ranging aquatic animals based on swimming depth. The results suggest that certain individuals form associations even if they are not a mother and calf pair. Long synchronized dives occurred when particular members were reunited, and this suggests that the synchronized dives were not a by-product of opportunistic aggregation. - Mai Sakai; Leszek Karczmarski; Tadamichi Morisaka; Meredith ThorntonSOUTH AFRICAN JOURNAL OF WILDLIFE RESEARCH SOUTHERN AFRICAN WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT ASSOC 41 (1) 134 - 138 0379-4369 2011/04 [Refereed]
Tagging attempts of Heaviside's dolphins (Cephalorhynchus heavisidii) using a remotely-deployed suction-cup tag were performed in Table Bay and St Helena Bay on the southwest coast of South Africa. The observed reactions of dolphins indicate that this tagging approach has negligible impacts on the dolphin behaviour and Heaviside's dolphins might be tagged with suction cup tags without adverse affects. - Mai Sakai; Kagari Aoki; Katsufumi Sato; Masao Amano; Robin W.

Field recordings of echolocation signals produced by Heaviside's dolphins (Cephalorhynchus heavisidii) were made off the coast of South Africa using a hydrophone array system. The system consisted of three hydrophones and an A-tag (miniature stereo acoustic data-logger). The mean centroid frequency was 125 kHz, with a -3 dB bandwidth of 15 kHz and -10 dB duration of 74 mu s. The mean back-calculated apparent source level was 173 dB re 1 mu Pa(p.-p.). These characteristics are very similar to those found in other Cephalorhynchus species, and such narrow-band high-frequency echolocation clicks appear to be a defining characteristic of the Cephalorhynchus genus. Click bursts with very short inter-click intervals (up to 2 ms) were also recorded, which produced the "cry" sound reported in other Cephalorhynchus species. Since inter-click intervals correlated positively to click duration and negatively to bandwidth, Heaviside's dolphins may adjust their click duration and bandwidth based on detection range. The bimodal distribution of the peak frequency and stable bimodal peaks in spectra of individual click suggest a slight asymmetry in the click production mechanism.

We quantitatively analysed synchronous breathing for dyads in Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins at Mikura Island. Tokyo, Japan. For most cases, we observed dyads swimming in the same direction (97%). in close proximity (i.e., less than 1.5 m) and with their body axes parallel as they breathed synchronously. Moreover, the pairs engaged in identical behaviour before and after the synchronous breathing episodes. These results suggest that the dolphins synchronize their movements, and that synchronous breathing is a component of "pair-swimming", an affiliative social behaviour. Same sex pairs of the same age class frequently engaged in synchronous breathing for adults and subadults, as well as mother-calf and escort-calf pairs. The distance between individuals during synchronous breathing for mother-calf pairs was less than for other pairs. The distance observed between individuals for female pairs was less than for male pairs. The time differences between each exhale for each of the two dolphins involved in synchronous breathing episodes for female pairs were smaller than for male pairs, and time differences for adult pairs were smaller than subadult pairs. These results suggest that age and sex class influenced the characteristics of this behaviour. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

"Flipper rubbing" behavior was quantitatively analyzed in wild Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) around Mikura Island, Tokyo, Japan. We observed two types of flipper rubbing: (1) F-B rubbing; one dolphin (Rubber) rubbed its flipper over various parts of a partner's (Rubbee) body, and (2) F-F rubbing; both dolphins rubbed each other's anterior flipper edge in alternating shifts. F-B rubbings tended to be initiated by the Rubbee and were terminated by the Rubber. The Rubbee often moved actively its body part that was in contact with the Rubber's flipper, and assumed side-up, upside-down, or other postures while the Rubber remained horizontal in most cases. These facts suggest that the Rubbee engaged in F-B rubbing more actively than the Rubber, and might receive some benefit from the frictional contact during F-B rubbing. Dolphins often switched their roles as Rubber and Rubbee between episodes of flipper rubbing bout. Adults and sub-adults exchanged F-B rubbing and F-F rubbing most often with individuals of the same sex in the same age class. F-B rubbing was frequent in mother-and-calf dyads. Our results suggest that flipper rubbing is an affiliative behavior which could be a quantitative measure of social relationships among individuals of this species in future studies. - M Sakai; T Hishii; S Takeda; S KohshimaBEHAVIOURAL BRAIN RESEARCH ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV 170 (2) 204 - 210 0166-4328 2006/06 [Refereed]
To determine whether wild Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) at Mikura Island, Japan, show asymmetry of eye or flipper use during a social behaviour, we investigated the laterality of flipper-to-body (F-B) rubbing, in which one dolphin ("rubber") rubs the body of another ("rubbee") with its flipper. We analysed 382 episodes of video-recorded F-B rubbings performed by identified individuals (N= 111 rubbers). F-B rubbing was conducted significantly more frequently with the left flipper than with the right flipper. The duration of F-B rubbings was also significantly longer with the left flipper than with the right flipper. Of 20 dolphins, nine individuals showed significant left-side bias as the rubber in this behaviour, whereas no dolphins showed significant right-side bias. The results indicate a population-level left-side bias of the rubber in F-B rubbing. An analysis of the swimming configurations during this behaviour suggests that the asymmetry in F-B rubbing was caused not only by the laterality of the rubber, but by a preference for use of the left eye in both dolphins during this behaviour. Dolphins used the left eye significantly more frequently than the right eye during the inquisitive behaviour, while they showed no significant bias in flipper use during the object-carrying behaviour. These facts also suggest that the asymmetry of F-B rubbing is caused by the preference for using the left eye. Significant left-side bias was observed only in F-B rubbings initiated by the rubbee, in which the rubbee determined its position during this behaviour. This suggests that this behavioural asymmetry was enhanced by the rubbees choosing the left side of the rubber to ensure better and longer rubs. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

The subjects have not gotten a heavy disease during the period. This suggests that these behavioral frequencies and the hormone levels were obtained when dolphins were healthy. In the period when a dolphin rubbed its face against the wall frequently, old skin and serum cortisol concentration were relatively higher. This suggests that this behavior is a sign of stress. The serum β-endorphin concentration tended to be lower when static behavior was longer. This suggests that serum β-endorphin concentration has a relationship with the momentum. Further, the serum cortisol concentration tended be higher when the static time at the middle layer was longer. It suggests that prolonged static behavior in middle layer is a manifestation of stress.

The results suggest that synchronous breathing is a component of an affiliative social behaviour in Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins. The results also show the differences in social contact with flipper of Delphinidae and that of Phocaenidae. Finless porpoises seemed to have undeveloped social structure in previous study, however, our results suggest that they form associations with particular individuals.

In Amami Is.area where the species was first reported in Japan, more than 50 dolphins were photo-identified by boat-based surveys. A population was found around Torishima Is., Tokyo for the first time and it is genetically related to Mikura and Ogasawara populations. Frequency of social behaviors of the wild dolphins around Mikura Is.varied with sex and developmental stage. Male reproductive activity was higher in spring to fall seasons.
- 日本学術振興会:科学研究費助成事業 特別研究員奨励費Date (from‐to) : 2005 -2007Author : 森阪 麻衣伊豆諸島御蔵島に生息するミナミハンドウイルカを撮影したビデオデータ(2000,01,02年撮影分)から、社会行動の分析を行った。胸ビレで相手をこする行動であるラビングを分析し、受け手がこの行動を求めることが多いことを明らかにした。これは、体表面のケアといった何らかの利益を得ていることを示唆した。同性・同成長段階の個体が最も多くラビングを行った。この結果は、イルカがラビングの相手を選択しており、ラビングには何らかの社会的機能があることを示唆した。得られた知見を4th Young psychologist workshop、日本哺乳類学会自由集会にて発表し、雑誌Marine Mammal Scienceに投稿し、受理された。さらに、ラビング行動は、個体群レベルで左ヒレで行われることが多いことを明らかにし、それは左目で相手を見る傾向が強いことに起因すると考察した。この知見を日本動物心理学会自由集会にて発表した。 1999,02,03年に御蔵島で撮影されたデータから、社会行動の量的分析を行った。また、10月に御蔵島にてフィールド調査を行い、本年度のイルカの接触行動の分析のためのビデオデータを収集した。 7月〜3月に飼育イロワケイルカ新生仔2頭とその母親を観察し、社会行動の発達を分析した。その結果、母子間の接触は、生後直後は体と体の接触の割合が多いが、時間的経過とともに胸ビレと体の接触の割合が多くなることを明らかにした。この知見を日本動物行動学会、2006年度勇魚会シンポジウムにて発表した。 揚子江スナメリ6個体に取り付けた速度・深度・加速度記録計のデータから、社会関係の指標にできると考えられる呼吸同調の分析を行った。その結果、3ペアにおいて有意に多く同調することを明らかにした。この結果は、スナメリが特定の個体と一緒に行動している可能性を示唆した。この知見を、日本水産学会にて発表した。
- 日本学術振興会:科学研究費助成事業Date (from‐to) : 2005 -2007Author : 森阪 麻衣伊豆諸島御蔵島にて、ミナミハンドウイルカのオトナメスが、死児を運搬されている様子を観察・撮影した。このメスは死児を運搬しつつも、1歳児を同伴していた。また、運搬している個体の周囲を十数頭のオスが取り巻いており、音声や泡が通常時に比べて多く記録された。運搬個体は死児を海底に置いて、取巻個体のうちの1個体に噛みつき、また死児を拾い上げて運搬していった。これらの観察から、死児を運搬したのは母親ではない可能性、取巻個体が通常とは異なる状態を認知していた可能性、運搬個体は取巻個体と敵対的な関係にあった可能性が考えられた。ミナミハンドウイルカにおいて、母親以外の個体によるサポートや、オスによる仔殺しが存在する可能性が示唆された。 飼育イロワケイルカの母子2組を観察し、接触行動の発達の分析をした。母子間の身体的接触は次第に減少すること、生後直後は体と体の接触の割合が多いが、時間的経過とともに胸ビレと体の接触の割合が多くなること、また、年長のコドモの方から年少のコドモや母親以外の個体に接近する頻度が増えることを明らかにした。 揚子江スナメリ6個体から得られた遊泳速度・深度・加速度の情報から、水底での採餌行動、呼吸行動、活発/非活発な時間帯、同調遊泳の抽出を試みた。その結果、スナメリば水深約5mで採餌すること、採餌や非活発な時間帯は日和見的であること、オトナオスとワカオスが有意に多く同調遊泳を行っている可能性を示した。 アフリカ大陸南東岸沿岸に生息するコシャチイルカを対象に、群れメンバーの流動性と社会行動の観察を行った。頻繁に群れサイズが変化すること、ラビング(胸ビレで相手をこする行動)、複数個体による同調ジャンプ、追いかけあいなど、様々な社会行動を行うことを明らかにした。また、動物搭載型記録計の取り付けを試みた際のイルカへの影響評価を行い、イルカは異常な反応を見せないことを示した。
