Accuracy and precision of an umbilical‐based method for estimating birthdates of pre‐weaned harbour seal pups
Abstract Fine‐scale age estimation of animals can provide insight into important biological processes but can be logistically difficult to measure in wild populations. We evaluated the accuracy and precision of an umbilical‐based method for fine‐scale age and birthdate estimation in a wild populatio...
