  16. Body Size Prey Temperature Bioenergetics of an Individual Process R (ug C d-1) = f(Weight, Prey, Temp)

  17. A Stage Progression Model E. pacifica Belehradek function for time to stage as function of temperature Basic Form is: Di = ai (T + b)c Di is the time (days) from egg to stage i ai is a stage specific constant b is a stage-independent shift in temperature c is assumed to be -2.05 (commonly observed from experiments; determines the curvature) Data from Ross (1982) and Feinberg et al. (2006) What if low food conditions delay development? Revised Form is: Di = [ai (T + b)c] / [1 – e-kP]

  18. Interindividual variation in lipid weight of C5 stage of Calanus pacificus Laboratory reared individuals (range of hi to low food) varied by a factor of ca. 2.5; lipid content in field collected individuals even more variable (ca. 2.8) 2.8 2.5 Hakanson (1984, Limnol.Oceanog.)

  19. i-state Distribution Models • fundamental tools of demographic theory • produce differential or difference equations • examples: • NPZ+ models • Lotka-Volterra predator-prey models • McKendrick-von Foerster equations • Suppose: • One population; two important dimensions control dynamics: individual age and individual size; given the assumption that all individuals experience the same environment (global mixing), then all individuals with the same i-state will have the same dynamics and can be treated collectively.

  20. Suppose: Only indiv body size and life-stage are important to dynamics… Then: Could model population using n life-stages, each having mn wt classes. Life Stage Within Stage Weight What if: There are many more dimensions important to dynamics?

  21. “It is impossible to predict the response of all but the very simplest natural systems from knowledge of current environmental stimuli alone. The problem is that the past of the system affects its response in the present.” Caswell and John (1992, p. 37) System State = f(History,Curr. Envir.) both are required to describe the systems behavior (deterministic) or probability distribution of systems behavior (stochastic)

  22. Individual Size • Impacts preferred prey type (abundance/size) • Impacts growth rate • Impacts mortality when size-dependent • Impacts behavior Some early classic examples…

  24. = f (history) • i-state configuration models • (aka Individual Based Models) • Each individual has a vector of characteristics associated with it • Examples are: • Body size (weight, length) • Age • Reproductive Condition • Nutritional (structural or physiological) Condition • Behavior • Location = Defines Present Environment

  25. ZP • Conditions in which i-state distribution models are insufficient and i-state configuration models (IBMs) are necessary: • Complicated i-states – • Many elements in i-state configuration vector; numerical solutions as ‘distribution’ difficult • Small populations • Demographic analysis of endangered species • Viability of small populations • Local spatial interactions important • Spatial heterogeneity of the environment • Local interaction of individuals • Size- or individual-specific behaviors

  26. Advantages of i-state configuration (IBMs) • Biology is often mechanistically explicit. (not hidden in differential equations). • Biological-Physical-Chemical Interactions are clearly detailed. • Individual is the fundamental biological unit, thus it is natural and intuitive to model at that level, rather than at the population level. • Allows explicit inclusion of an individual’s history and behavior. • History-Spatial Heterogeneity interactions ‘easily’ handled.

  27. Costs Involved in IBM Approach • Difficult to implement feedback from IBM (Lagrangian) to underlying Eulerian model, esp. across multiple trophic levels • Consumption (depletion) of prey (E) by predators (L) • Assume not important (Batchelder & co. 1989,1995) • Conversion to concentrations per grid cell (Carlotti & Wolf 1998) • 2) Requirement for Large Numbers of Particles • Difficult to simulate realistic abundances • Each particle may represent one (IBM) or a variable number of identical individuals (Lag. Ens. Method/Superindividuals) • 3) Difficult (Impossible?) to simulate density dependence • 4) Extensive Computation Penalty • Biological/biochemical processes for individuals are many and complex • 5) Increased knowledge about the system (this might be a good thing)

  28. Design of Marine Protected Areas The NW Atlantic Scallop Example

  29. Scallop Larval Drift from Proposed Closed Regions Issues: larval repopulation of source regions, as well as non-closed regions; Long-term effects of marine protected areas

  30. Transport patterns

  31. Retention effect of circulation over a single 40-day pelagic period within the fall climatology. • There is exchange between closed areas 1 and 2. • Area 1 is largely self-seeding; Area 2 seeds both areas. Source

  34. Transport patterns From C. Grant Law (unpubl.)

  35. How connected are different populations and does connectivity change with population structure or physical forcing? Are all populations equally valuable when protected? Do some regions act primarily as sources and others as sinks? How often is a given area dependent on recruits from elsewhere? Under which conditions is a given area self-seeding and how often are those conditions present? Are there regions of the coast that are particularly robust in terms of self seeding and which also act frequently as a source for remote areas? Questions Modified from C. Grant Law (unpubl.)
