RESEARCH: Incorporating sparse labels into hidden Markov models using weighted likelihoods improves accuracy and interpretability in biologging studies. Co-authored by @tessmcrae, @BiologistVolpov, Andrew Trites (@ubcmarinemammal) and Marie @AugerMethe journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…

This idiom means to fail or succeed. In a literal sense, ringed #seals don't sink, but they do dive and swim, which researchers monitored to understand how they hunt and feed on their prey - basically their foraging behaviour. #OceanIdioms

Thanks especially to the town of #Mittimatalik for supporting the tagging efforts. We are grateful to have the privilege of learning from these culturally important narwhal in Inuit Nunangat.

We found that the composite stress index was able to capture subtle but important influences on behaviors and their expression. In all, this case study presents a useful tool for incorporating information collected from single handling events for movement modelling.

In this paper, we explore the use of a modified composite stress index, building on the foundations of allostatic load indices, to inform movement modeling for narwhal.
