Acoustic and ecological investigations into predator-prey interactions between Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and seal and bird predators
(University of St Andrews, 2008-11-27) - Thesis1. Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) form aggregations known as swarms that vary greatly in size and density. Six acoustic surveys were conducted as part of multidisciplinary studies at two study sites, the western and ... -
Incorporating measurement error and density gradients in distance sampling surveys
(University of St Andrews, 2007-11) - ThesisDistance sampling is one of the most commonly used methods for estimating density and abundance. Conventional methods are based on the distances of detected animals from the center of point transects or the center line ... -
A Bayesian approach to modelling field data on multi-species predator prey-interactions
(University of St Andrews, 2006) - ThesisMulti-species functional response models are required to model the predation of generalist preda- tors, which consume more than one prey species. In chapter 2, a new model for the multi-species functional response is ...
