Figure 4. Comparisons of regression curves of TL growth during the first (●) and second half (○) of gestation (top graph) and the early (●), mid (○) and late (▲) pregnancy (bottom graph). The slopes of the regression lines for first half of gestation (F = 63.31, P <0.0001, df1 = 1, df2 = 33) and for early (F = 50.05, P <0.0001, df1 = 1, df2 = 37) and mid pregnancy (F = 135.04, P <0.0001, df1 = 1, df2 = 32) were different than those for the second half of gestation and late pregnancy, respectively. Note that the animals double in length during late pregnancy (315–473 d). ... : Published as part of Robeck, Todd R., Schmitt, Todd L. & Osborn, Steve, 2015, Development of predictive models for determining fetal age-at-length in belugas (Delphinapterus leucas) and their application toward in situ and ex situ population management, pp. 591-611 in Marine Mammal Science 31 (2) on page 601, DOI: 10.1111/mms.12180, http://zenodo.org/record/12761460 ...
