Ecological games in space and time: the distribution and abundance of Antarctic krill and penguins
Abstract: The distribution and abundance of organisms are affected by behaviors, such as habitat ... , environmental conditions, and the biology of the species involved. Although extensive theoretical work has ... explored predator–prey dynamics, these models have not considered the impact of behavioral plasticity and ... of a spatial, dynamic ecological game between predators and prey using a life-history perspective.

Can trace element signatures in the otoliths of Dissostichus eleginoides record capture size?
Abstract: The elemental structure of growth increments in the otoliths of fish reflects the ... composition of water passing across the gills: as a result, elemental signatures can potentially be used to ... reconstruct the environmental history experienced by fish. To test whether the otolith elemental signatures of ... from the outer edges (which are laid down during the interval leading to capture) of otoliths taken ...
