Environmental drivers of narwhal migratory behaviour for divergent strategies. Estimated locations of fitted move-persistence values (γt, scaled color; top row) generated from the best model predictions relative to scaled environmental covariates (bottom row) for narwhal undertaking either an offshore (n = 6; left column) and nearshore migration (n = 8; right column). Locations with lighter, yellow colors indicate locations with low move-persistence (area restricted search-type behaviours), while darker blue-gray locations indicate higher move-persistence or more directed movement. Bathymetry contours are defined in Fig. 1. For best model results (bottom row), each grey line represents an individual response to each environmental covariate, while the thick blue line represents the mean response across individuals
