| the influence of topographic and dynamic cyclic variables on the distribution of small cetaceans in a shallow coastal system. | the influence of topographic and temporal variables on cetacean distribution at a fine-scale is still poorly understood. to study the spatial and temporal distribution of harbour porpoise phocoena phocoena and the poorly known risso's dolphin grampus griseus we carried out land-based observations from bardsey island (wales, uk) in summer (2001-2007). using kernel analysis and generalized additive models it was shown that porpoises and risso's appeared to be linked to topographic and dynamic cycl ... | 2014 | 24466031 |
