Long-lasting social bonds of a habitat-structured delphinid social system
S Chen, W Lin, B Liu, A Serres, M Lin, M Liu, S Li - Animal Behaviour, 2025 - Elsevier
Owing to the large, three-dimensional, fluid nature of their aquatic environment, the impact of
habitat configuration has rarely been investigated in cetacean societies. However, in some …
