If you're a marine mammal photo ID fan, (and lets be honest, who isnt...) you're gonna want to check out @ptpatton.bsky.social new paper! Go get it! 🐬🐬
I’m thrilled to see my dissertation’s second chapter published in Conservation Biology. In the paper, we found that researchers can use high-performance identification algorithms to reduce the cost of population assessments without biasing abundance estimates. tinyurl.com/ne8tbpw3
