Early social development in long-lived social mammals has important implications for adult behaviour, particularly in taxa that exhibit stable long-term bonds. In one such species, bottlenose dolphins, calves have precocious locomotion, enabling them to separate from their mothers soon after birth and associate with other dolphins in the absence of direct maternal influence. To investigate mother...
The fission–fusion society of bottlenose dolphins seems particularly well suited to balancing the costs and benefits of grouping. Here, we examined four nonmutually exclusive hypotheses regarding the causes and/or functions of calf grouping patterns when with and away from the mother: maternal influence, same-sex bond formation, protection and social skill development. We evaluated the role of calf...
