Understanding the life history of organisms helps us learn how they grow and develop traits that help them survive in their environment. It also reveals how vulnerable a population can be if certain behaviors and traits put them at risk of extinction. In our rapidly changing world, studying a species’ life history is important to protect and ensure its future survival. Reproduction is a key part of life history, and knowing how a species reproduces helps answer important questions, like how often they have babies and how many offspring they have. In this post, we’ll discuss the results and implications of a new study <\/a>on the life history of common dolphins in New Zealand, based on observations of stranded individuals over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
