MSc = done ✅️

So grateful for these couple past years of learning, meeting people, catching seals and making fond memories! 🦭

I am immensely thankful for my supervisor Pre. Fanie Pelletier, and co-supervisor Dr. Xavier Bordeleau!

Now, what's next ?

Neonatal growth patterns, sexual dimorphism and compensatory growth in harbour seal pups
Juvenile survival, a fundamental parameter in the population dynamics of long-lived species, is often tightly linked to early-life body growth. Here, based on repeated mass measurements on 555...

If you wonder how we accurately and precisely estimate age and birthdates of harbour seal pups, read this very cool paper we did! 🦭

Stay tuned for chapter 2!

We used an umbilicus-based method to estimate reliable birth dates in a wild population of harbour seals living in the St. Lawrence estuary between 1998 and 2023. We show that our method is accurate ...
