Optimal foraging in marine ecosystem models: selectivity, profitability and switching
One of the most troubling aspects of ecosystem models is the use of rather arbitrary feeding and preference functions. The predictions of plankton functional type models have been shown to be highly sensitive to the choice of foraging model, particularly in multiple prey situations. Here we propose ecological mechanics and evolutionary logic as a solution to diet selection in ecosystem models. ...
متن کاملNon-consumptive predator effects indirectly influence marine plant biomass and palatability
1. Predators can reduce herbivory and increase plant biomass by consuming herbivores, lowering individual herbivore feeding rates, or both. We tested whether the presence of predators increases plant quality by non-consumptively reducing grazing pressure and thereby weakening the strength of the induced response in plant chemical defences. 2. We performed a 42-day outdoor mesocosm experiment in...
متن کاملMatching marine reserve design to reserve objectives.
Recent interest in using marine reserves for marine resource management and conservation has largely been driven by the hope that reserves might counteract declines in fish populations and protect the biodiversity of the seas. However, the creation of reserves has led to dissension from some interested groups, such as fishermen, who fear that reserves will do more harm than good. These perceive...
متن کاملMarine reserve benefits unfold
and ill. But it was an " absenteeism that would see him through the next stormy decade, " wrote Desmond and Moore as the publication of the Origin of Species caused a storm. While the meeting went on, Darwin and his wife, Emma, were burying their son, Charles, in the parish churchyard. And Darwin was relieved at the silence following the Linnean Society paper and sped ahead with his work. He fe...
متن کاملTransmission switching cost modeling and determination candidate Lines for participation in joint energy and reserve markets
There is a great resolution calling for smart grids in recent years. Introduction of new technologies, that make the network flexible and controllable, is a main part of smart grid concept and a key factor to its success. Transmission network as a part of system network has drawn less attention. Transmission switching as a transmission service can release us from load shedding and remove the co...
