We will also be looking for evidence of genetic variation underlying these patterns in southern resident killer whales. Morphology and heritability of morphology by ecotype, sex (if available), age (if available), and parentage (if available). underDevelopment Emmons, Candice 206-302-2432 2725 Montlake Boulevard East Seattle WA 98112 Candice.Emmons@noaa.gov pointOfContact Emmons, Candice 206-302-2432 2725 Montlake Boulevard East Seattle WA 98112 Candice.Emmons@noaa.gov custodian morphometrics quantitative genetics theme NWFSC Montlake place Instrument Not Applicable instrument DOC/NOAA/NMFS/NWFSC > Northwest Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA.
