Ecosystem models are often employed to evaluate the effects of fishing and to distinguish natural variability from human impacts. These models typically operate at large spatial and temporal scales, which are appropriate for their goals and objectives. However, these models would benefit from better information on local-scale processes as there are likely to be bottlenecks at short time scales and small spatial scales that are critical to understanding recruitment variability. Similarly, there may be critical foraging interactions that happen at local scales, particularly for central place foragers such as marine mammals and seabirds. Small-scale effects of fishing such as "localized depletion" may have ecosystem-level consequences. More information on local-scale survival, foraging, movement, reproduction and pelagic habitat selection would allow food-web and population dynamics modelers to make better scenarios of the effects of natural variability and/or fishing on ecosystems. Papers are solicited on the following topics: (1) current ecosystem models and the assumptions that require further research; (2) techniques for assessing climate impacts on predator-prey interactions at top trophic levels; (3) techniques for assessing local-scale dynamics of survival, foraging, movement, reproduction and pelagic habitat selection; and (4) techniques for assessing prey field response to fishing.
