Stay close, but not too close: aerial image analysis reveals patterns of social distancing in seal colonies

Stay close, but not too close: aerial image analysis reveals patterns of social distancing in seal colonies

Many species aggregate in dense colonies. Species-specific spatial patterns provide clues about how colonies are shaped by various (a)biotic factors, including predation, temperature regulation or disease transmission. Using aerial imagery, we examined these patterns in colonies on land of two sympa...
