What does 'prepared the skin' mean in this article?

I'm reading a science article and it's about the first case of the homosexual necrophilia in mallard.

I don't get what does 'prepared the skin' mean in the follow sentences.

--------
I am greatly indebted to dr Erwin J. O Kompanje who executed the autopsy, PREPARED THE SKIN and critically commented on the manuscript. He also urged me to write this note (for almost six years) and discovered Bagemihl (1999), which proved to be indispensable. Mr Willem Beekhuizen shared his knowledge about ducks, and dr Jelle W. F. Reumer added useful comments to the manuscript.
--------

According to the rest of the article, the mallard specimen was stuffed after the autopsy. Does 'prepared the skin' related to stuffing an animal? or does it something else?

Thank you for your time.
