New paper🎉🎉
We introduce FInCH, a new continuous-time method for inference on individual animal movement.
FInCH is scale-invariant, models behavioural changes between observation times, and allows for inference in either a Bayesian or frequentist setting. 🐾

Head over to the Methods Blog to read the story behind our new research article 'Avoiding confusion: Modelling image identification surveys with classification errors' 👇

When AI classifies an object, is it correct? It depends on the accuracy of your algorithm and the prevelance of the object. Interestingly (well to me), we demonstrate there is some information about the accuracy of an algorithm without a confusion matrix besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…
As changing stock sizes will cause changes to predator prey dynamics we ask:
Can we simultaneously adopt the precautionary approach for multiple stocks in the North Sea?
I'll be presenting this next Monday at @ICES_ASC

Excited to see this paper finally out! with fantastic coauthors Nyil Khwaja @MASpence86 @MalikaIhle and @itchyshin
The paper considers how we typically analyse behavioural count data, what problems that might cause, and suggest some potential solutions

Each plot has two distributions, one grey and one red, in different places for each species. The x-axis is labelled "SSB (1000 tonnes)" and the y axis is labelled "Density".

Working on the placards- suggestions for more marine based puns welcome! #ProspectStrike @ProspectUnion @Scenodesmus
Been to @zsllondonzoo today. Some great enclosures! Be terrific when they put animals in them!!
