Wright (1994) has criticized both a paper of ours and the Monthly Notices which published it (Hoyle, et al. 1994) on the original grounds that neither we nor the journal took adequate notice of his views! He is concerned with Sections 3 and 4 of our second paper in the series in which we have developed the quasi-steady state cosmological model and have shown that it ...

Migratory shorebirds need to replenish their energy reserves by foraging at stop-over sites en route. Adjusting their foraging behaviour to accommodate variation in local prey availability would therefore be advantageous. We test whether western sandpipers (Calidris mauri), a sexually dimorphic shorebird, adjust their foraging behaviour in response to local changes in prey availability, as infe...

General comments The authors describe a new, explicit, first-order accurate numerical integration scheme that is designed to ensure that (elemental) masses are conserved and remain non-negative regardless of the magnitude of the projection timestep. They present a brief summary of prior schemes that have aimed to achieve nonnegativity (but, in some cases, sacrificed conservation). They highligh...
