This study investigates how boat traffic and environmental factors shape the spatial distribution and habitat selection of Guiana dolphins in a northeastern Brazilian estuary. Although dolphins and boats overlapped broadly—particularly in deeper waters—dolphins showed a preference for areas with lower boat traffic, greater depths, and proximity to ...

ABSTRACT Estimating population parameters is crucial for understanding species dynamics and assessing anthropogenic impacts, thereby supporting conservation efforts. We evaluate key population parameters—group structure, abundance and capture–recapture probabilities—of the Guiana dolphin in the Paranaguá Estuarine Complex and adjacent coastal waters ...
