Factors influencing the acquisition of an attraction response to human provisioning by bottlenose dolphins in Cockburn Sound

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

The contribution of four factors to the acquisition of attraction responses to human provisioning by dolphins in Cockburn Sound: 1) individual patterns in the use of high boat density areas; 2) age-class; 3) sex; and 4) close associations with 'experienced' individuals (i.e. individuals that had previously become conditioned to human provisioning) were considered using unpublished data from Rebecca Donaldson (1993-1997) and original data collected for the thesis (2000-2003) from Cockburn Sound. The overall objectives were: (a) to identify and characterise predictor variables for the acquisition of an attraction response; (b) to examine interactions between these variables; and (c) to address the potential influence of social learning.
