Just like the other two species of bottlenose dolphins, Burrunan dolphins are regularly seen riding bow waves and performing impressive aerial displays to those on board boats.The Burrunan dolphin gets its name from a word in the Bonwurrung, Woiwurrung and Taungurung aboriginal languages. We aim to further assess the migration levels, what potential barriers to gene flow exist and identify regions of significance for these dolphins.For a species that has existed right under our noses, living so close to a major capital city such as Melbourne, we still know very little about the Burrunan dolphin.Our ongoing research will aim to address the data deficiencies of the species and will use the results to further protect and conserve these unique and iconic dolphins.Kate Charlton-Robb receives funding from the Gippsland Regional Growth Fund. In 2011, news related to the animal kingdom caught the attention in the world. The Burrunan dolphins were originally thought to be one of two recognised species of bottlenose dolphins, the common bottlenose dolphin (.The Burrunan dolphins is 2 to 2.5 metres long, slightly larger than the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins but smaller than the common bottlenose dolphins which can grow up to 4 metres in length. Et tempor, facilisis cursus turpis tempor odio. This is under review and the possibility of the species being de-listed concerns some who see it could undermine the protection of these bottlenose dolphins.The Institute views that the best available science should always inform decision making otherwise the system is at risk of breaking down by providing legal loop-holes or by omitting vulnerable species or communities.Consequently, the Institute would support the listing of the communities of the resident bottlenose and common dolphins in Port Phillip and the resident bottlenose dolphins in the Gippsland Lakes, on the basis of their small and isolated populations.In Victoria, dolphins are afforded high levels of protection by the Marine Mammals Section of the Wildlife Act, so have effective legislated protection.The Dolphin Research Institute is a Charity Registered with the Australian Charities and Not for Profit Commission.

The common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), which is the most widely recognized dolphin species, is found worldwide in warm and temperate seas. It is therefore very difficult to track the population structure and levels of mixing between populations, especially from those that are hundreds of kilometres away.By using the dolphins’ DNA we can investigate their population size and structure, identify who is who, and who is contributing genes to the next generation. Bottlenose dolphin, (genus Tursiops), also called bottle-nosed dolphin, any of three species of oceanic dolphins classified within the marine mammal family Delphinidae and characterized by a bottle-shaped snout.

Taxonomy- Scientific Classification Bottlenose Dolphin scientific name is Tursiops Truncates.… Kate Charlton-Robb is a dolphin expert who has spent more than 10 years researching the Burrunan dolphins. Conservation geneticist and dolphin researcher, Monash University,Our team of researchers from the Australian Marine Mammal Conservation Foundation (.Dolphins are quite cryptic species, only spending a short amount of time at the surface. The Burrunan dolphin lives in the Gippsland Lakes and Port Phillip Bay in Victoria.

It is the third time since the late 1800s that a new dolphin species has been recognised.Some dolphin species are in danger of becoming extinct, with the greatest threats coming from human activities.
