Estimating narwhal ( Monodon monoceros ) age using tooth layers and aspartic acid racemization of eye lens nuclei
Abstract
Counting growth‐layer groups (GLGs) in teeth is one of the most precise and widely accepted methods for aging marine mammals. Male narwhals have a large erupted tusk that can be used for aging, but this tusk is often difficult or expensive to obtain from hunters and most females do not display the tusk; thus, alternative methods for narwhal aging are needed. In this study, we aged narwhals by counting annual GLGs in embedded tusks and by...
