Spatio-Temporal Variability of Harbor Porpoise Life History Parameters in the North-East Atlantic

Spatio-Temporal Variability of Harbor Porpoise Life History Parameters in the North-East Atlantic

Harbor porpoises exhibit early maturation, relatively short gestation/lactation periods and a faster rate of reproduction as compared to other cetacean species. Intrinsic and extrinsic factors can influence both population vital rates and population structure, which ultimately cause changes in dynam...
