Summary: | The files in this folder demonstrate how spatial capture–recapture (SCR) methods can be adapted to model movement and space use in aquatic systems. Appenidx_1A_MvmtAssistedLocalization.R simulates and analyzes acoustic telemetry data in an SCR framework. sim_SCR_mvmt.R simulates and models an integrated SCR–movement model that jointly quantifies abundance, distribution, and movement of individuals using capture-recapture and telemetry data motivated by polar bear studies in the eastern Chukchi Sea. Finally, three files are used to simulate and model an age-structured capture-recapture model that incorporates age and capture-recapture data to provide comprehensive information on population dynamics including abundance, age-dependent survival, recruitment, age structure, and population growth rates. The motivating polar bear data from the western Hudson Bay are included in SupplementS3_CaseStudyData.txt.
