| The mathematics required for a detailed analysis of the behavior of a model can be formidable. In this paper, I demonstrate how various computer packages can aid qualitative analyses by implementing techniques from dynamical systems theory. Because computer software is used to obtain the results, the techniques can be used by nonmathematicians as well as mathematicians. In-depth analyses of complicated models that were previously very difficult to study can now be done. Because the paper is intended as an introduction to applying the techniques to ecological models, I have included an appendix describing some of the ideas and terminology. A second appendix shows how the techniques can be applied to a fairly simple predator-prey model and establishes the... |

| Following lakes and rivers, a lot of estuaries (during the last twenty years) and shallow coastal zones (during the last decade) have been severely eutrophicated because of the too much increasing loads of nitrogen and phsophorus. In situ stutdy and numerical modelling of two french case studies bring some explanation to the facts that, in some sites, enrichment turns into green macroalgal proliferation whereas, in others, mass blooms of phytoplankton are induced. Whatever the case may be, the prominent role of the residence time of water in the enriched zone has been proven. In open coastal ecosystems, the difficulty in determining this residence time as well as the limiting factor (nitrogen, or phosphorus, or light) lowers considerably the reliability of... |

| The state of the art of research on the environmental physiology of marine fishes is reviewed from the perspective of how it can contribute to conservation of biodiversity and fishery resources. A major constraint to application of physiological knowledge for conservation of marine fishes is the limited knowledge base; international collaboration is needed to study the environmental physiology of a wider range of species. Multifactorial field and laboratory studies on biomarkers hold promise to relate ecophysiology directly to habitat quality and population status. The 'Fry paradigm' could have broad applications for conservation physiology research if it provides a universal mechanism to link physiological function with ecological performance and... |
