Behavioural analysis of multi-year satellite telemetry data provides insight into narwhal (Monodon monoceros) winter prey selection in Baffin Bay Open
Narwhals ( Monodon monoceros ) are deep-diving Arctic cetaceans that migrate seasonally between summering and wintering grounds. The Baffin Bay population overwinters in southern Baffin Bay and Davis Strait, where they are known to forage …

An integrated data model to estimate abundance from counts with temporal dependence and imperfect detection Open
In the spirit of so‐called “sightability models” for estimating population abundance, we developed a Bayesian hierarchical model that combines survey counts for animals (or plants) and a separate data set for detection to account for indiv…

Abundance and distribution of ringed and bearded seals in the Chukchi Sea: a reference for future trends Open
Ringed ( Pusa hispida) and bearded ( Erignathus barbatus) seals are vulnerable to decreasing sea ice habitat in the rapidly warming Arctic. In April and May 2016, we conducted an aerial survey over the ice-covered areas of the Chukchi Sea …

A multistate<span>L</span>angevin diffusion for inferring behavior‐specific habitat selection and utilization distributions Open
The identification of important habitat and the behavior(s) associated with it is critical to conservation and place‐based management decisions. Behavior also links life‐history requirements and habitat use, which are key to understanding …

A <span>GLMM</span> approach for combining multiple relative abundance surfaces Open
Spatio‐temporal maps of organismal density or relative abundance are fundamental to many applications in conservation and ecology. There are often a number of data sources to inform species maps, including citizen science monitoring progra…

Integrated animal movement and spatial capture–recapture models: Simulation, implementation, and inference Open
Over the last decade, spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models have become widespread for estimating demographic parameters in ecological studies. However, the underlying assumptions about animal movement and space use are often not realisti…

Special Feature: Linking capture–recapture and movement Open
Many ecological systems are organized hierarchically, and a full understanding of ecological systems is contingent on our understanding of linkages across levels in these hierarchies. Consider the hierarchy whereby individual organisms are…

Hidden Markov models: Pitfalls and opportunities in ecology Open
Hidden Markov models (HMMs) and their extensions are attractive methods for analysing ecological data where noisy, multivariate measurements are made of a hidden, ecological process, and where this hidden process is represented by a sequen…

An integrated path for spatial capture–recapture and animal movement modeling Open
Ecologists and conservation biologists increasingly rely on spatial capture–recapture (SCR) and movement modeling to study animal populations. Historically, SCR has focused on population‐level processes (e.g., vital rates, abundance, densi…

Evaluation of camera trap‐based abundance estimators for unmarked populations Open
Estimates of species abundance are critical to understand population processes and to assess and select management actions. However, capturing and marking individuals for abundance estimation, while providing robust information, can be eco…

Worth the effort? A practical examination of random effects in hidden Markov models for animal telemetry data Open
Hidden Markov models (HMMs) that include individual‐level random effects have recently been promoted for inferring animal movement behaviour from biotelemetry data. These ‘mixed HMMs’ come at significant cost in terms of implementation and…

Spatial capture–recapture with multiple noninvasive marks: An application to camera‐trapping data of the European wildcat (<i>Felis silvestris</i>) using R package multimark Open
In Switzerland, the European wildcat ( Felis silvestris ), a native felid, is protected by national law. In recent decades, the wildcat has slowly returned to much of its original range and may have even expanded into new areas that were n…

Body condition of phocid seals during a period of rapid environmental change in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands, Alaska Open
A warming climate has driven rapid physical changes in the Arctic environment, particularly in the Bering Sea. Biological changes are also increasingly evident in the Bering Sea and adjacent waters. The ecological results have been profoun…

From pup to predator: generalized hidden Markov models reveal rapid development of movement strategies in a naïve long‐lived vertebrate Open
Rapid development of a successful foraging strategy is critical for juvenile survival, especially for naïve animals that receive no parental guidance. However, this process is poorly understood for many species. Although observation of ear…
