Data Quality
| Analytical Accuracy: |
Ages at maturation estimated from (1) the rapprochement skeletal growth mark; (2) back-calculated SCL-at-age data; and (3) bootstrapping and fitting Fabens modified von Bertalanffy growth curve to back-calculated growth data were very similar between approaches, but demonstrated a wide possible range. |
|---|---|
| Quality Control Procedures Employed: |
Multiple researchers worked to assign consensus age for each sample |
