Marginal Beta Probability Density Functions For Predator-Prey Diet Linkages For The Gulf Of Mexico Fitted Using Maximum Likelihood Method, April 2013-May 2015, Cameron Ainsworth
Marginal Beta Probability Density Functions For Predator-Prey Diet Linkages For The Gulf Of Mexico Fitted Using Maximum Likelihood Method, April 2013-May 2015, Cameron Ainsworth
C-IMAGE data
This is a dataset of the marginal beta probability density functions (PDFs) representing the percent contribution of prey to predator diet. Predator and prey are provided at the level of functional groups, where functional groups correspond to those used in an Atlantis biogeochemical ecosystem model of the Gulf of Mexico published by Ainsworth et al. 2015 (NOAA Tech. Memo. NMFS-SEFSC-676). The PDFs have been provided in a CSV file, and also graphically (Fig1.tif, Fig2.tif, Fig3.tif, Fig4.tif). This data set only deals with predator groups that are fish. Note that this data is also provided in a summarized form (mode and …
Predator-Prey Diet Linkages With Error Range For The Gulf Of Mexico Fitted Using Maximum Likelihood Method, April 2013- May 2015, Cameron Ainsworth
Predator-Prey Diet Linkages With Error Range For The Gulf Of Mexico Fitted Using Maximum Likelihood Method, April 2013- May 2015, Cameron Ainsworth
C-IMAGE data
Data is from Tarnecki, J.H., Wallace, A., Simons, J. and Ainsworth, C.H. 2016. Progression of a Gulf of Mexico Food Web Supporting Atlantis Ecosystem Model Development. Fisheries Research (doi:10.1016/j.fishres.2016.02.023). This is a dataset representing predator-prey linkages with associated error ranges for Gulf of Mexico fish functional groups. The data will be used in an Atlantis biogeochemical trophic ecosystem model of the Gulf of Mexico described by Ainsworth et al. 2015 (NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS-SEFSC-676). This diet dataset is based on data previously published in Masi, M.D., Ainsworth, C.H., Chagaris, D., 2014. (Ecol. Model. 284, 60-74) and expanded to include new …

Predator-Prey Diet Linkages With Error Range For The Gulf Of Mexico Fitted Using Maximum Likelihood Method, Cameron H. Ainsworth
C-IMAGE data
Data is from Masi, M and Ainsworth, C. (in press) A Probabilistic Representation of Fish Diet Compositions from Multiple Data Sources: A Gulf of Mexico Case Study. Ecological Modelling. April 2014. Trophic ecosystem models are interactive tools that allow decision makers to analyze how a management decision can impact an ecosystem on a multi-species level, and are increasingly being used as a supplement to the current single species approach to fisheries management. The functionality of such a model is dependent upon an accurate representation of the trophic interactions occurring within a study area. Typical methods for developing a diet matrix …
