Scaling laws of marine predator search behaviour
David W. Sims,Emily J. Southall,Nicolas E. Humphries,Graeme C. Hays,Corey J. A. Bradshaw,Corey J. A. Bradshaw,Jonathan W. Pitchford,Alex James,Alex James,Mohammed Zaki Ahmed,Andrew S. Brierley,Mark A. Hindell,David Morritt,Michael K. Musyl,David Righton,Emily L. C. Shepard,Victoria J. Wearmouth,Rory P. Wilson,Matthew J. Witt,Julian D. Metcalfe +19 more
TL;DR: Simulations show that predators have higher encounter rates when adopting Lévy-type foraging in natural-like prey fields compared with purely random landscapes, consistent with the hypothesis that observed search patterns are adapted to observed statistical patterns of the landscape.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of climate change on marine organisms and ecosystems.
TL;DR: Present-day climate change is described, setting it in context with historical change, consequences of climate change for marine biological processes now and in to the future are considered, and contributions that marine systems could play in mitigating the impacts of global climate change are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Jellyfish overtake fish in a heavily fished ecosystem.
Christopher P. Lynam,Mark J. Gibbons,Bjørn Erik Axelsen,Conrad Sparks,Janet Coetzee,Benjamin G. Heywood,Andrew S. Brierley +6 more
TL;DR: The main thrust or conclusion of this paper is that jellyfish biomass in the Benguela now exceeds that of once prolific finfish, because the recent estimates of fish and jelly fish biomass are from the own observations and not the interpretation of FAO data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antarctic Krill Under Sea Ice: Elevated Abundance in a Narrow Band Just South of Ice Edge
Andrew S. Brierley,Paul G. Fernandes,Mark A. Brandon,Frederick Armstrong,N.W. Millard,Stephen D. McPhail,P. Stevenson,Miles Pebody,James Perrett,M. Squires,Douglas G. Bone,Gwyn Griffiths +11 more
TL;DR: Autosub-2 enabled us to make continuous high-resolution measurements of krill density under ice reaching 27 kilometers beyond the ice edge, and krill densities were fivefold greater than that of open water.

Marine Ecology: Processes, Systems, and Impacts
Michel J. Kaiser,Martin A. Attrill,Simon Jennings,David N. Thomas,David K. A. Barnes,Andrew S. Brierley,Jan G. Hiddink,Hermanni Kaartokallio,Nicholas Polunin,David G. Raffaelli +9 more
TL;DR: Marine Ecology: Processes, Systems, and Impacts as discussed by the authors offers a carefully balanced and stimulating survey of marine ecology, introducing the key processes and systems from which the marine environment is formed, and the issues and challenges which surround its future conservation.
