✨️Happy to share our latest publication on incorporating common health metrics into hidden Markov modeling 🐋 with Marie Auger-Méthé, Nigel Hussey, and my other amazing co-authors✨️ doi.org/10.1093/conphy…

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.

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.

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.

Thanks as well to WWF-Canada and the Arctic Species Conservation Fund.
