Title: Social behavior and activity of New Zealandâs Dusky Dolphin
When: 30 June 2004
Who: Tim Markowitz

Tim recently graduated from Texas A&M Galveston with his Phd. Most of his work on Dusky Dolphins took place in New Zealand.
This talk was a summary of Timâs Phd work in New Zealand. Tim talked about how Dusky dolphins are the cousins to the Alaskan Pacific White-sided dolphin. Of all of the Delphinidae, the Dusky dolphins are the most acrobatic, exhibiting some of the most interesting group behaviors in the ocean. Tim talked about how these dolphins would do ãnoisyä leaps, ãre-entryä leaps, or ãacrobaticä flips to convey signals to other dolphins.
