We quantified error by building nine model scenarios that each incorporated different spatiotemporal diet data of four published studies. The model scenarios produced individual lifetime consumption estimates that were between 25% lower and 15% higher than the primary model (maximum difference was 53%, range 11.7–17.8 kg). When consumption (in mass) was held constant, differences in diet quality among models caused a several-fold range in growth rate (0.04–1.07 g day–1). Our findings showcase the large uncertainty in consumption rate estimates due to diet diversity, and illustrate that caution is required when considering bioenergetic results among locations, times, and ontogeny.]]> Tue 13 Sep 2022 12:33:26 AEST ]]> Reproductive capacity of a marine species (Octopus tetricus) within a recent range extension area https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26145 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:35:28 AEDT ]]>
