Ecological systems can often be characterised by changes among a finite set of underlying
states pertaining to individuals, populations, communities or entire ecosystems through time …

Abstract Hidden Markov models (HMMs) and their extensions are attractive methods for
analysing ecological data where noisy, multivariate measurements are made of a hidden …

Partial migration, where populations are composed of both migratory and resident
individuals, is extremely widespread across the animal kingdom. Researchers studying fish …

With the influx of complex and detailed tracking data gathered from electronic tracking
devices, the analysis of animal movement data has recently emerged as a cottage industry …

Linking the movement and behaviour of animals to their environment is a central problem in
ecology. Through the use of electronic tagging and tracking (ETT), collection of in situ data …

Ecologists have an unprecedented array of bio-logging technologies available to conduct in
situ studies of horizontal and vertical movement patterns of marine animals. These tracking …

Large-scale electronic tagging is a very powerful tool to study how fish movements and
migrations shape the internal dynamics of populations. This knowledge, crucial for …

Background Fish geolocation methods are most effective when they are customized to
account for species behavior and study area characteristics. Here, we provide an example of …

We present a process‐based approach to estimate residency and behavior from uncertain
and temporally correlated movement data collected with electronic tags. The estimation …

Technological advances are key to maximizing the information potential in electronic
tagging studies. Acoustic tags inform on the location of tagged animals when they are in the …
