Neonatal growth patterns, sexual dimorphism and compensatory growth in harbour seal pups
Juvenile survival, a fundamental parameter in the population dynamics of long-lived species, is often tightly linked to early-life body growth. Here, based on repeated mass measurements on 555...

🚨 Paper alert 🚨

My first MSc chapter is finally published!

If you wonder how we accurately and precisely estimate age and birthdates of harbour seal pups, read this very cool paper we did! 🦭

Stay tuned for chapter 2!

We used an umbilicus-based method to estimate reliable birth dates in a wild population of harbour seals living in the St. Lawrence estuary between 1998 and 2023. We show that our method is accurate ...
