Overview
This repository details the methods used to calculate indices of predation for Walleye Pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) in the Gulf of Alaska (MT per year; 1990 to 2015). Pollock predators included: Arrowtooth Flounder (Atheresthes stomias), Pacific Cod (Gadus macrocephalus), Pacific Halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis), Sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria), and Walleye Pollock conspecifics. We used predation indices to estimate synchrony in pollock consumption and make inferences about trophic stability among demersal fishes in the Gulf of Alaska.
File Structure
Input data (survey and food habits) and shapefiles can be found in Folder 1 ('1_Data' folder). Folders 2 through 5 contain species-specific analyses and resulting estimates for each component of the predation index. Results from distribution/density models (i.e., large .rda files) were not included. Folder 6 contains predation indices (all predators combined) for each of the spatial scales of interest: basin, the area encompassed by the stock assessment for Gulf of Alaska pollock, subregion, and statistical area. Script files in Folder 6 also include variance ratio calculations, which enabled estimates of synchrony and portfolio effects. Specific analyses that resulted in publication tables and figures are noted throughout.
All analyses were conducted using R v3.6 (R Core Team 2018).
Data Sources
Total Predator Biomass: Total biomass estimates were obtained from the most recent stock assessment for each groundfish predator (Barbeaux et al. 2017, Dorn et al. 2017, Hanselman et al. 2017, Spies et al. 2017, Stewart and Hicks 2017). Coast-wide estimates for Pacific Halibut were adjusted to reflect biomass in the Gulf of Alaska.
Relative Predator Densities: Bottom trawl survey data (all groundfish predators; 1990 to 2017) were collected by the Resource Assessment and Conservation Engineering (RACE) Division of the Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC, NOAA) and are publicly accessible at https://www.afsc.noaa.gov/RACE/groundfish/survey_data/data.htm. See von Szalay et al. (2016) for information about bottom trawl survey design and data collection methods. Setline survey data (Pacific Halibut; 1998 to 2017) were collected by the International Pacific Halibut Commission and are publicly available at: https://iphc.int/data/fiss-data-query. For setline survey methods, see Clark and Hare (2006). Longline survey data (Sablefish; 1990 to 2017) were collected by the AFSC's Auke Bay Laboratories and can be found at https://www.afsc.noaa.gov/maps/longline/Map.php. See Sigler and Zenger (1989) for methods descriptions of the longline survey.
Mean Annual Rations and Age-specific Proportions of Pollock Consumed: Food habits data (all groundfish predators; 1990 to 2015) were provided by the AFSC's Resource Ecology and Ecosystem Modeling (REEM) Program and are publicly accessible at: https://access.afsc.noaa.gov/REEM/WebDietData/DietDataIntro.php. For food habits data collection and processing methods, see Livingston et al. (2017).
Financial and Logistical Support

Macrophthalmus (Mareotis) Barnes 1967
Macrophthalmus (Mareotis) Barnes, 1967 (Figs. 3C, 4A) Large, up to 40 mm carapace breadth; ocular peduncles elongate but not projecting beyond lateral carapace margins, much longer than breadth of front; front narrow, usually constricted between bases of ocular peduncles, where its breadth is 8–15% distance between external orbital angles; ischium of external maxilliped> 1.5 times length of merus (usually 1.7–2.5 times); carapace with breadth 1.3–1.7 times length (and in one species> 1.8 times length), with large, broad-based, subrectangular anterolateral teeth, with lateral margins subparallel or arched (so that greatest carapace breadth not across external orbital angles or even second anterolateral teeth), with longitudinal and/or transverse rows of granules and/or hairs on branchial regions but without clumps of granules; central region of posterior border of epistome straight, with marked concavity or (in some populations of one species) with a central protuberance; males of one species with stridulatory apparatus as described below in Paramareotis; fingers of male chelae usually elongate with index downflexed and with differentiated teeth on both index and dactylus or on dactylus only. Intertidal, usually in relatively soft muds. Twelve species are included which have been divided between two subgroups on morphological grounds (the groups A and B of Komai et al., 1995):Published as part of Barnes, R. S.

Macrophthalmus (Tasmanoplax) Barnes 1967
Macrophthalmus (Tasmanoplax) Barnes, 1967 (Fig. 5A) Medium-sized, up to 30+ mm carapace breadth; ocular peduncles elongate but not projecting beyond lateral carapace margins, longer than breadth of front; front moderately narrow, not constricted between bases of ocular peduncles, where its breadth is ca. 20% distance between external orbital angles; ischium of external maxilliped ca.1.2 times length of merus; carapace with breadth 1.5–1.6 times length, with lateral margins subparallel, with large, broad-based, subrectangular anterolateral teeth, branchial regions with transverse and longitudinal rows of granules; central region of posterior border of epistome with large convexity; males without stridulatory apparatus; fingers of male chelae elongate with index downflexed and with clearly differentiated tooth on dactylus only. Intertidal in soft sediments. This is a monotypic subgenus for M. latifrons Haswell, 1882, restricted to south-eastern Australia, the only macrophthalmid in that region. It appears to differ behaviourly from other Macrophthalmus in that allocleaning (foraging on the carapace or walking legs of other conspecific individuals) is not displayed (Kitaura & Wada, 2004).Published as part of Barnes, R. S. K., 2010, A Review Of The Sentinel And Allied Crabs (Crustacea: Brachyura: Macrophthalmidae), With Particular Reference To The Genus Macrophthalmus, pp. 31-49 in Raffles Bulletin of Zoology 58 (1) on page 42, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.450830

Repositioning the graphic designer as researcher
In academic terms, the discipline of graphic design is relatively young. Consequently the position of the discipline within academic territory, and the role of the designer, continue to be debated. In part, these debates have been a product of attempts to define and defend the discipline’s borders from within, in order to establish a sense of the role of graphic design and the graphic designer as commensurate with other disciplines both within and beyond art and design. In recent years graphic designers have variously been defined as ‘authors’, ‘producers’ and ‘readers’, yet none of these definitions seem to have provided any kind of productive or lasting impact within the academy. This paper suggests that rather than continue to seek territorial definitions and positions from within, it could be more productive to look beyond the confines of the discipline. Gaining a broader, interdisciplinary perspective on, and understanding of, qualitative research methods from other disciplines may enable the graphic designer to more fully position his or her practice within the wider academy. Such a perspective could help facilitate the repositioning and redefinition of the graphic designer as ‘researcher’ - a move that would be productive in relation to the future development of postgraduate research within the discipline
