Using epigenetic clocks to investigate changes in the age structure of critically endangered Māui dolphins

Using epigenetic clocks to investigate changes in the age structure of critically endangered Māui dolphins

Abstract The age of an individual is an essential demographic parameter but is difficult to estimate without long‐term monitoring or invasive sampling. Epigenetic approaches are increasingly used to age organisms, including nonmodel organisms such as cetaceans. Māui dolphins (Cephalorhynchus hectori...
