Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Modeling a species' ecology and abundance provides important insights into its habitat preferences, population trends, and distribution. Here, we studied how environmental factors relate to common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) density in waters off mainland Portugal.
