Morphological differences between coastal bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) populations identified using non-invasive stereo-laser photogrammetry
M van Aswegen, F Christiansen, J Symons, J Mann… - Scientific Reports, 2019 - nature.com
Obtaining morphometric data on free-ranging marine megafauna is difficult, as traditional
methods rely on post-mortem or live-capture techniques. We linked stereo-laser …
