strandCet: R package for estimating natural and non-natural mortality-at-age of cetaceans from age-structured strandings
Mortality is one of the most important parameters for the study of population dynamics. One of the main sources of information to calculate the mortality of cetaceans arises from the observed age-structure of stranded animals. A method based on an adaptation of a Heligman-Pollard model is proposed....
