Putting prey into the picture: improvements to species distribution models for bottlenose dolphins in Doubtful Sound, New Zealand
Species distribution models (SDMs) often rely on abiotic variables as proxies for biotic
relationships. This means that important biotic relationships may be missed, creating …
