Fine-scale residency and temperature-driven habitat selection in a migratory shark species (2024)
Journal Article
Thorburn, J., Gagnon, É., Martin, J., Henry, L.-A., Wright, P., Dodd, J., James, M., & Neat, F. (2025). Fine-scale residency and temperature-driven habitat selection in a migratory shark species. Environmental Biology of Fishes, 108(4), 483-500. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10641-024-01640-0

Many marine species exhibit complex and diverse movements that vary across spatial and temporal scales. These movements must be accounted for when designing effective management and conservation efforts. While environmental cues such as temperature a...

Physiological responses to capture, handling and tagging in the critically endangered flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) (2024)
Journal Article
Cole, G., Lavender, E., Naylor, A., Girling, S., Aleynik, D., Oppel, S., Dodd, J., & Thorburn, J. (2024). Physiological responses to capture, handling and tagging in the critically endangered flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius). Conservation Physiology, 12(1), Article coae077. https://doi.org/10.1093/conphys/coae077

Catch-and-release angling is a popular recreational pastime and an essential component of many fish research programmes. Marked physiological disturbances have been documented in elasmobranchs in response to angling and handling, but skates and rays...

Particle algorithms for animal movement modelling in autonomous receiver networks (2024)
Preprint / Working Paper
Lavender, E., Scheidegger, A., Albert, C., Biber, S., Illian, J., Thorburn, J., Smout, S., & Moor, H. Particle algorithms for animal movement modelling in autonomous receiver networks

1. Particle filters and smoothers are powerful sequential Monte Carlo algorithms used to fit non-linear, non-Gaussian state-space models. These algorithms are well placed to fit process-orientated models to animal-tracking data, especially in autonom...

Patter: particle algorithms for animal tracking in R and Julia (2024)
Preprint / Working Paper
Lavender, E., Scheidegger, A., Albert, C., Biber, S. W., Illian, J., Thorburn, J., Smout, S., & Moor, H. Patter: particle algorithms for animal tracking in R and Julia

In the field of movement ecology, state-space models have emerged as a powerful modelling framework that represents individual movements and the processes that connect movements to observations. However, fitting state-space models to animal tracking... Read More about Patter: particle algorithms for animal tracking in R and Julia.

R., Berrow, S., Hall, G., Hall, J., Delvillar, D., McGill, R., Whoriskey, F., Fangue, N. A., McInturf, A. G., Rypel, A. L., …Houghton, J. D. R. (2024). Assessing the potential of acoustic telemetry to underpin the regional management of basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus). Animal Biotelemetry, 12, Article 20. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40317-024-00370-5

Acoustic telemetry can provide valuable space-use data for a range of marine species. Yet the deployment of species-specific arrays over vast areas to gather data on highly migratory vertebrates poses formidable challenges, often rendering it impract...

The migratory behavior of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) post-smolts in coastal waters is poorly understood. In this collaborative study, 1914 smolts, from 25 rivers, in four countries were tagged with acoustic transmitters during a single seasonal mi...
