Description

Linear mixed effect models to estimate individual body mass at key seasonal transition points, accounting for day-of-year effects and random variation among years, sites, and individuals. Provides standardized mass estimates for demographic modeling.

Typical Equipment

  • scales
  • linear mixed effect models for estimation

Output Measurements

  • seasonal body mass estimates
  • mass change rates
