plural posthatchlings
- A young animal that is no longer a hatchling
In the posthatchling group, there was almost three times as much data for the ‘south’ than for the ‘north’ subset, so data from the ‘south’ were censored (randomly selected 1300 triplets) to match the number of data triplets of the ‘north’ subset.
