Bayesian modeling and simulation methods for fish movements
Bayesian methods have been popular in modelling complex ecological data collected using modern animal tracking technologies such as acoustic telemetry for multiple reasons, including their extreme flexibility, ability to incorporate prior knowledge and better precision. Acoustic telemetry systems te...

Bayesian methods have been popular in modelling complex ecological data collected using modern animal tracking technologies such as acoustic telemetry for multiple reasons, including their extreme flexibility, ability to incorporate prior knowledge and better precision. Acoustic telemetry systems technology has been increasingly used to study fish movement patterns and habitat use and estimate demographic parameters, including survival probabilities and population size.
