Modeling climate impacts and human predation on marine populations using prey age profiles: an agent based model
Author(s): Christopher Filimoehala; Melinda Allen; Alex Morrison

Summary
Archaeological assemblages provide data on marine prey age which can inform researchers about the influence of human predation and climate related habitat change. While, human predation may generally lead to a reduced mean prey age, climate related impacts may produce different age profile patterns. In this paper we model the impact of both human foraging and climate change on prey age using an agent based model. We assess our model results using zooarchaeological marine assemblages from Tokelau.
