Thermal cue for shark emigration

Work done in Bayesian Ecological & Environmental Statistics (B.E.E.S.) lab at University of Toronto.

We analyzed acoustic telemetry tracking and high-resolution water temperature data to identify and quantify a thermal threshold for mass emigration of juvenile white sharks

Change point analysis of daily averaged sea floor temperature data and proportion of sharks present at Padaro from 15 May to 10 December
