My review of cetacean size distributions.

[callmejoe3]

Hey, so for the past year or so, I've been submitting my manuscript that reviews the size distributions and weight relationships for different species of large whales. It was eventually split into two sections for odontocetes and mysticetes, respectively. The three journals I've submitted to were rejected by the editors, though three out of the five reviewers had a pretty positive reception, with two recommending for publishing. I have just revised the review for odontocetes and it's been screened and uploaded on Biorxriv.

I also have two blog posts where I discuss in more detail about the inner workings of the morphometry

And length frequencies
