Modelling Southern Ocean ecosystems: Krill, the food-web, and the impacts of harvesting
Article Abstract:
The development of conceptual and mathematical models of the krill-based system of the Southern Ocean is explored in order to identify findings and approaches that are likely to be useful in developing practical models for managing fisheries in general and the krill fishery in particular. The models of energy and nutrient flow in the food-web are used for assessing the krill yield or for modelling the dynamics of the krill fishery.

Intake rates and the functional response in shorebirds (Charadriiformes) eating macro-invertebrates
Article Abstract:
The functional responses of free-living shorebirds (Charadriiformes) eating macro-invertebrates in which intake rate is expressed as a function of numerical prey density, is described. The resulting equations have provided a convenient way of estimating intake rate for many kinds of studies for which the intake rate is a critical piece of information.
