The present study provides a noninvasive method to estimate the body volume of sharks (Elasmobranchii, Selachii) using a computational geometric model. This method allows the volume of sharks to be estimated from lateral and ventral photogr...
Biochemical and morphological features of the uropygial gland of the Chilean Flamingo and their functional implications [0.03%]
智利火烈鸟尾脂腺的生化和形态特征及其功能意义
