ROBUST STATE-SPACE MODELING OF ANIMAL MOVEMENT DATA (2005, methodology): “…than estimate the parameters of each t distribution directly within the state–space model, we obtain independent estimates a priori by making use of published data derived from Argos-tagged gray seals, Halichoerus grypus (Fabricius 1791), that were caged at a known location (Vincent et al. 2002).”
Movement and diving behavior of male California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) during anomalous oceanographic conditions of 2005 compared to those of 2004 (2006, methodology): “Positions were screened by an iterative forward/backward averaging filter that excluded locations requiring transit rates greater than 4 ms 1 [Vincent et al., 2002].”
Technology on the Move: Recent and Forthcoming Innovations for Tracking Migratory Birds (2011, background): “Accuracy has been reported to vary from about 100 meters (m) to about 50 km (Keating et al. 1991, Vincent et al. 2002, White and Sjoberg 2002, Dubinin et al. 2010).”
Validation of geolocation estimates based on light level and sea surface temperature from electronic tags (2004, background): “However, the precision of these locations may be better than stated by Argos (Vincent et al. 2002).”
Satellite tracking of a killer whale (Orcinus orca) in the eastern Canadian Arctic documents ice avoidance and rapid, long-distance movement into the North Atlantic (2011, background): “Argos assigns each location to one of the following seven quality classes, in decreasing order: 3, 2, 1, 0, A, B, and Z, for which errors in both dimensions of the plane have been determined, except for class Z (Vincent et al. 2002).”
Moderating Argos location errors in animal tracking data (2012, result): “2), as has been found in previous studies (Keating, Brewster &Key 1991; Hays et al. 2001; Vincent et al. 2002; Costa et al. 2010; Witt et al. 2010) and reported by CLS (2011).”
A comparison of indirect measures of feeding behaviour based on ARGOS tracking data (2007, background): “Given the considerable loss of data and debate surrounding the use of location quality as a filter criterion (Boyd et al., 1998; Bonadonna et al., 2001; Vincent et al., 2002; White and Sjoberg, 2002), we chose to accept all speed-filtered positions to maximize the temporal resolution of the track.”
Assessing accuracy and utility of satellite-tracking data using Argos-linked Fastloc-GPS (2010, background): “Other authors have attempted to assess Argos location accuracy through analysis of data from static platforms (e.g. Hays et al. 2001; Vincent et al. 2002; Dubinin et al. 2010) or transmitters on rookery-based animals (e.”
Migratory and reproductive movements of male leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) (2005, background): “Locations classified as ‘‘A’’ and ‘‘B’’ are not categorized for positional accuracy by Argos; however, LC A locations have recently been shown to be as accurate as LC 1 locations and more accurate than LC 0 locations (Hays et al. 2001; Vincent et al. 2002 ).”
Satellite tracking reveals a dichotomy in migration strategies among juvenile loggerhead turtles in the Northwest Atlantic (2009, methodology): “Each hexagonal area bin was larger in scale than the associated error of LC or LI (669–2,686 km2 vs. approximately >4– 10 km; Brothers et al. 1998; Britten et al. 1999; Millspaugh and MarzluV 2001; Hays et al. 2001; Vincent et al. 2002; Tougaard et al. 2008).”
Identifying and comparing phases of movement by leatherback turtles using state-space models (2008, methodology): “However, positions are recorded sporadically and have associated errors (Vincent et al., 2002).”
Continuous-time correlated random walk model for animal telemetry data. (2008, methodology): “This is consistent with Vincent et al. (2002) who also found larger Argos error in the longitude coordinate.”
A novel method for identifying behavioural changes in animal movement data. (2009, methodology): “ARGOSdataisreportedwithlocationclasses(3,2,1,0,Aand B)associatedwithspatialerrorsvaryingfrom100 mtoseveral kilometres (Hays et al. 2001; Vincent et al. 2002; CLS Argos 2008).”
Distribution and diving behaviour of harp seals (Pagophilus groenlandicus) from the Greenland Sea stock (2004, background): “However, a recent study on grey seals (Vincent et al. 2002) suggests that the quality of LC=A may be quite acceptable, and even the quite poor accuracy of LC=B may be of interest in a study like ours, dealing with the distribution of seals that make large-scale movements (several tens of degrees wit”
