📣 New paper alert ! 📣
Image-based bio-logging offers unique insights into marine predator behaviour 🦭 🦈 🐧 🐢 and ecosystem functioning, but demands advanced analytical tools. #MarineConservation #AI #ComputerVision #BioLogging

Grateful to the global inter-disciplinary collaborative effort! 🙏 😊

Excited to share our new paper on how empirical research can better support mechanistic models—through realistic, interdisciplinary data and by embracing complex, individual-level mechanisms. Born from a @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social symposium!

@methodsinecoevol.bsky.social
Graphical abstract illustrating four recommendations for ecological modeling with aquatic animals. Be interdisciplinary and across levels: Includes icons for population biology (a bar chart of age structure) and behavioral ecology (a pie chart showing habitat use), plus a zoomed-in illustration of individual porpoises within a group. Use mechanistic modeling instead of statistics as a conceptual framework: A curved line plot shows respiration increasing with temperature, with data points color-coded by temperature and a shaded area indicating stressful conditions. Emphasize realism over precision: Shows a fish in a naturalistic habitat with plants and conspecifics, contrasted with a lone fish in a bare tank. Include stressful conditions: Reiterated through both the curved plot and a separate graph with three treatments, where respiration increases across treatments and with temperature, with the highest temperature range shaded in red.
