Abstract

1. Generalized additive models of sighting data for cetaceans collected during two surveys of waterways in the Sundarbans mangrove forest of Bangladesh indicated that Ganges River dolphin Platanista gangetica gangetica distribution was conditionally dependent (P2 emissions affecting global sea levels, they can be used to prioritize locations where protective measures could be employed to benefit the long-term conservation of both species.
