Using Hierarchical Bayes to Understand Movement, Health, and Survival in the Endangered North Atlantic Right Whale
Figure 3
Photo plate depicting whale #1621, an adult male last seen in 2000. Photo in panel a) was taken in 1997, and panel b) was taken in 1999. Photos show examples from four of the visual health parameters: 1) entanglement severity, 2) presence of orange cyamids around the blowholes, 3) poor skin condition, and 4) rake marks forward of the blowholes. There are multiple ordinal classes within each health parameter. For example, in a) skin condition received a score of 2– good skin condition, while in b) skin condition would receive a score of 1– poor skin condition.
