文摘
Understanding trophic interactions is critical for elucidating ecological roles of marine predators. We used behavioural observations and stable isotope mixing models to investigate the feeding ecology of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in the lagoon of Mayotte (East Africa). We identified prey during 77?% of 54 observed feeding events, observed in both rainy (61?% of events) and dry (39?%) seasons. Caranx melampygus and Gnathanodon speciosus were involved in 67?% of these events, with Tylosurus crocodilus (20?%) and Mugil cephalus (13?%) also consumed. Mixing models, based on δ13C and δ15N values of skin and blubber (n?=?30 samples for both tissues), suggest that behavioural observations are representative of general feeding patterns. Indeed, C. melampygus and T. crocodilus (G. speciosus could not be included in models) were estimated to contribute most to dolphin diets, with mean estimated contributions of 44.6?% (±18.9) and 48.1?% (±19.1) for skin and 73.7?% (±14.9) and 16.9?% (±12.4) for blubber, respectively. Our results highlight the value of two independent methods (stable isotopes and behavioural observations) to assess prey preferences of free-ranging dolphins.
