The paper develops statistical methods to characterize Indigenous Knowledge (IK) as a sole data source for species-habitat models, applying them to ringed seals in Alaska to identify habitat use and important areas.

This study finds that higher haemoglobin levels in gentoo penguins are linked to greater diving efficiency at depth and increased pre-breeding foraging effort, with implications for breeding behavior and conservation.

The paper examines how top-down and bottom-up processes affect mesopredator movement and foraging behavior, finding that polar bears restrict seal foraging and that seals adjust behavior based on prey diversity and predation risk.

This study links movement and dive data of ringed seals to prey distribution models, finding that movement is not related to foraging effort and seals forage more in areas with lower prey diversity and biomass.

The paper introduces a statistical censoring method to correct for hook competition bias in longline survey abundance indices, showing significant improvements over existing methods.

The paper develops a dynamic-parameter model to analyze how flight subsidies influence migratory behavior in golden eagles, revealing circadian rhythms and a fly-and-forage strategy.

The paper uses a mixed effects model to rapidly infer individual variation in southern elephant seal movement responses to environmental factors.
