DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0189865
Abstract: Body mass dynamics of animals can indicate critical associations between extrinsic factors and population vital rates. Photogrammetry can be used to estimate mass of individuals in species whose life histories make it logistically difficult to… read more here.
