Response to The University of Miami Independent System for Peer Review Review of Alaskan Harbor Seal Stock Assessment by Brent Stewart
نویسنده
چکیده
Dr. Brent Stewart’s review for the Center for Independent Expertise (CIE) contains helpful comments for SWFSC scientists to use in writing the results of our study on population structure of harbor seals in Alaska for journal publication. Here we respond not to positive points but rather to points that require clarification or, when we disagree, a rebuttal. Dr. Stewart also gives legal advice and comments to which we do not respond as scientists, but will consider as background for future analyses and publications. We separate our responses into major and minor points with numbering of issues corresponding to numbering in his review.
