E28: Insight into dolphin society
 This week whales-online speaks with Dr David Lusseau, Lecturer in Marine Populations at the University of Aberdeen, about his long-term research into the ecology of populations of bottlenose dolphins.
His research specifically looks at how the environment in which they live shapes their individual societies. This is important to understand because it speaks to what the animals need to maintain their societies and from this research we can then understand what aspects of their environment – their habitat or their home – that we need to protect on their behalf.
David’s research also reveals that certain individuals play key roles in their societies, revealing an incredible depth and complexity to bottlenose dolphins as a species.
