A harbour seal IBM - an attainable management tool?
A quantification and modelling of harbour seal movement is required to predict the consequence of environmental change on both population distribution and movement connectivity. One approach to this challenge is a mechanistic individual based model (IBM) of seal movement. IBMs predict emergent behav...
