Sex determination of scopoli's shearwater (calonectris diomedea) juveniles: A combined molecular and morphometric approach
(2013)The absence of juvenile sexual dimorphism in birds often impedes sex determination using external morphology. We examined sex ratio variation in Scopoli's Shearwater (Calonectris diomedea) fledglings (n = 135) on a Strofades ...
