[eng] This thesis fills important gaps of knowledge that will help to develop a proper conservation strategy for cetaceans in southern Iberian waters. We were able to define different ecological management units for bottlenose dolphins (Chapter 3) that may assist in the implementation of specific conservation strategies for each of the units. Dietary information of bottlenose dolphins in the Gulf of Cádiz (Chapter 4) as for common dolphins in the Strait of Gibraltar and Alboran Sea (Chapter 6) is now firstly available. With this information, we assessed the prey consumption by common dolphins in the Alboran Sea (Chapter 6), highlighting the potential competition with local fisheries. Hence, new marine protected areas were proposed in conju...
