Inferring Cetacean Population Densities from the Absolute Dynamic Topography of the Ocean in a Hierarchical Bayesian Framework by Mario A. Pardo (704553)

“…<div><p>We inferred the population densities of blue whales (<i>Balaenoptera musculus</i>) and short-beaked common dolphins (<i>Delphinus delphis</i>) in the Northeast Pacific Ocean as functions of the water-column’s physical structure by implementing hierarchical models in a Bayesian framework. This approach allowed us to propagate the uncertainty of the field observations into the inference of species-habitat relationships and to generate spatially explicit population density predictions with reduced effects of sampling heterogeneity. …”
