虎鲸（Orcinus orca）的福利最近受到全世界的关注。这项研究的目的是对虎鲸的同行评审科学研究进行抽样，并与大西洋短吻海豚（Tursiops truncatus）进行互补比较，以确定对这两种鲸类动物进行研究的主要主题。这项研究的第二个目的是评估研究主题与进行研究的环境之间的关系。通过对同行评审的学术期刊文章进行数据库驱动搜索，保留了759篇涉及虎鲸的独特文章，2，022篇涉及大西洋海豚的独特文章，以及38篇包括这两个物种的额外文章进行分析。编码员按主题（人为反应，认知，分布，回声定位，觅食/捕食，健康/生理学，与人类的相互作用，社会性和发声）和研究环境（自然栖息地，圈养，或两者兼而有之）对每篇文章进行分类。大多数关于虎鲸的研究涉及自然栖息地的动物（90%），大多数虎鲸研究，无论环境如何，都集中在健康和生理学方面，如污染物和遗传变异（31%），觅食和捕食行为（26%）以及地理分布（20%）。大多数涉及白海豚的研究（68%）也是在它们的自然栖息地进行的，但与圈养动物相比，有更多的研究，并且具有更大的多样性。研究结果表明，虎鲸的研究主要集中在有限的主题范围内，对直接涉及福利问题的主题进行的研究相对较少。与虎鲸类似，对大西洋海豚的研究主要是健康和生理学（48.5%）和分布（17.6%）。与虎鲸相比，社会性（9.5%）和认知（5%）等主题在包含大西洋海豚的研究中更为突出。这两个物种仍然需要对行为模式相关问题进行更多的研究。
The welfare of killer whales (Orcinus orca) has received worldwide attention recently. The purpose of this study was to sample the peer-reviewed scientific research on killer whales with a complementary comparison to Atlantic bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) to ascertain the primary topics of research conducted with these two cetaceans. A second objective of the study was to assess the relationship between the research topic and the setting in which the research was conducted. From a database-driven search of peer-reviewed academic journal articles, 759 unique articles involving killer whales, 2,022 unique articles involving Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, and 38 additional articles that included both species were retained for analysis. Coders categorized each article by topic (Anthropogenic Response, Cognition, Distribution, Echolocation, Foraging/Predation, Health/Physiology, Interactions with Humans, Sociality, and Vocalization) and research setting (Natural Habitat, Captivity, or Both). Most studies of killer whales involved animals in their natural habitat (90%) and the majority of killer whale studies, regardless of setting, concentrated on health and physiology, such as contaminants and genetic variability (31%), foraging and predation behaviors (26%), and geographic distribution (20%). The majority of the studies (68%) involving bottlenose dolphins were also conducted in their natural habitat, but there was significantly more research comparatively with captive animals and with greater diversity. The results suggested that research with killer whales has been dominated by a limited range of topics with relatively little research conducted on topics that directly address issues of welfare. Similar to killer whales, research with Atlantic bottlenose dolphins has been dominated by health and physiology (48.5%) and distribution (17.6%). In contrast to killer whales, topics such as sociality (9.5%) and cognition (5%) were more prominent in research incorporating Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. Both species are still in need of additional research on questions related to behavioral patterns.
