Is less more, or more better? Behavioral insights from Bottlenose Dolphins during dolphin interaction programs

This poster was created for the 5th annual Research Showcase. From the poster: Using video recordings collected during randomly selected human-dolphin interaction programs (2022-2023), 19 target dolphins were assessed for their behavioral repertoire, correct and incorrect responses to trainer/guest-given cues, and the total number of unique requested behaviors.https://commons.stmarytx.edu/rscpos25/1001/thumbnail.jp
