SEASONAL ESTIMATION OF ABUNDANCE BY BOOTSTRAPPING INEXACT RESEARCH DATA (SEABIRD): A METHOD FOR ASSESSING ABUNDANCE AND UNCERTAINTY FROM HISTORICAL COUNT DATA USING ADELIE PENGUINS AS A CASE STUDY
Abstract: In addition to a review of published studies on Adelie penguin abundance at breeding ... sites in Antarctica, Southwell (2004) proposed a general abundance estimator appropriate for a species ... of that kind. The present study attempts to implement this estimator in the form of a parametric ... uncertainty at breeding sites in Antarctica. To achieve this task, a menu-driven suite of routines titled ...

A sensitivity analysis of a simple krill individual-based model designed to investigate length-based recruitment indices
LFDs: growth, mortality and recruitment. Understanding how these processes interact is a prerequisite ... to the interpretation of any observed trend. To illustrate these interactions a simple mechanistic ... individual-based model of krill population dynamics was subjected to a sensitivity analysis. Starting from a ... , since the population size structure at a given time is the result of a mixture of several annual cohorts ...
