Long-term changes in adult size of green turtles at Aldabra Atoll and implications for clutch size, sexual dimorphism and growth rates
Around the world, declines in the mean size of nesting sea turtles have been reported with concerns of a concomitant decrease in the reproductive...
-
Age-independent diameter increment models for mixed mountain forests
Mixed mountain forests with an uneven-aged structure are characterized by a high tree-growth variability making traditional age-dependent growth...
