EwEugCompensatoryMechanisms
v3 v4 5 5 * direct - changes caused over short time scales (order one year) by changes in behaviour of organisms, whether or not there is an ecosystem-scale change due to fishing; and 6 6 7 * indirect - changes over longer time scales due to ecosystem-scale responses such as increased prey densities and/or reduced predator densities. Usually we find the direct effects to be most important in explaining historical response data. In the next three sections we describe how to generate alternative models or hypotheses about direct compensatory responses; these hypotheses fall in three obvious categories: [wiki:EwEugUsingEcosimToStudyCompensation recruitment], [wiki:EwEugCompensatoryGrowth growth] and [wiki:EwEugCompensatoryNaturalMortality natural mortality].7 * indirect - changes over longer time scales due to ecosystem-scale responses such as increased prey densities and/or reduced predator densities.
