Abstract
⺠We investigated population dynamics of a pelagic dolphin in the Society Islands. ⺠Photographic and genetic recaptures of Steno bredanensis suggest island site fidelity. ⺠Strong genetic structure was found between two neighbour islands. ⺠This species forms small insular communities pointing out conservation issues. ⺠Other pelagic species of dolphins may follow this pattern near oceanic islands.
