Minding the Data-Gap Trap: Exploring Dynamics of Abundant Dolphin Populations Under Uncertainty

Minding the Data-Gap Trap: Exploring Dynamics of Abundant Dolphin Populations Under Uncertainty

Preventing declines in common species is key to sustaining the structure and function of marine ecosystems. Yet for many common marine mammals, including oceanic dolphins, statistical power to detect declines remains low due to patchy distribution and large variability in group sizes. In this study,...
