DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/gbgstats/8/"
 >Population dynamics and ecology of seal populations\, empirical data and 
 the search for theory to help our understanding. Stochastic growth models\
 , image analysis\, spatial distribution and telemetry data on migrations</
 a>\nby Karin Hårding and Daire Carroll (University of Gothenburg) as part
  of Gothenburg statistics seminar\n\nLecture held in MVL14.\n\nAbstract\nT
 his talk is about how statistical and mathematical methods are helpful whe
 n we try to understand processes in wildlife populations. The European har
 bour seal (Sw: knubbsälen) has been studied carefully for 40 years and th
 e long time series allows analysis of how population growth is regulated. 
  Recently the population growth has declined and we visited the colonies t
 o try to document in detail what is going on in order to give better advis
 e to managers. We develop new methods for estimating body size from drones
  and for counting seals from photos with machine learning algorithms. We a
 pply stochastic population growth models\, dynamic energy budget models\, 
 and we discuss what is density dependence in age structured populations in
  a variable environment. We are also interested in new collaborations and 
 feed back and look forward to interesting discussions on ways forward. Wel
 come! Karin and Daire\n\nKarin Harding is professor in animal ecology with
  a focus on marine mammals at GU and Daire Carroll is postdoctoral researc
 her and develops new digital tools for wildlife ecology.\n
