Here we report injuries potentially consistent with grey seal-inflicted lesions on 4 delphinids from northwest European coastlines: 1 bottlenose dolphin\n                    <jats:italic>Tursiops truncatus<\/jats:italic>\n                    , 1 common dolphin\n                    <jats:italic>Delphinus delphis<\/jats:italic>\n                    and 2 white-beaked dolphins\n                    <jats:italic>Lagenorhynchus albirostris<\/jats:italic>\n                    . These delphinids exhibited injuries such as puncture wounds and parallel scratches, with varying degrees of tissue remodelling. This indicates that the wounds were not recent but likely occurred days to weeks before death, suggesting opportunistic interactions rather than predation. Ultimately, all 4 delphinids were believed to have died from bacterial infections, including\n                    <jats:italic>Brucella ceti<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Morganella morganii,<\/jats:italic>\n                    and it is likely that these delphinids were already debilitated at the time of the seal encounters.

As grey seal populations increase, their interactions with cetaceans may influence individual health and broader ecosystem dynamics. Retrospective and prospective research into marine predator-prey relationships will enhance our understanding of these complex behaviours and their impact on marine ecosystems.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3354\/dao03898","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,11]],"date-time":"2025-11-11T08:32:15Z","timestamp":1762849935000},"page":"1-9","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3354\/policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Traumatic injuries by grey seals on delphinids from northwest European waters"],"prefix":"10.3354","volume":"165","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7288-9118","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Lonneke Liza","family":"IJsseldijk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1386-5148","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"James E.
