Weight watching: Morphometric indices of ontogenetic and reproductive stages in Weddell seals

Creator:

Monnin, Mee-ya A.

Abstract:

We investigated ontogenetic changes in body morphology of Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) using three three-dimensional (3D) photogrammetry, to estimate surface areas and body volumes for 42 Weddell seals. We sampled ten weaned pups, twelve juveniles (age one or two years), 11 non-breeding adult females, and 9 adult females who had...
