Adding an "OSMOSE" field to FishBase glossary

[agruss2]

@Dengaloo @FIN-JBarile @QQ-Sortiz During our last Skype meeting, Deng asked me to write down a few lines about OSMOSE so that this text could be integrated into FishBase glossary.

Here is the text:

OSMOSE: Two-dimensional, multi-species, individual-based modeling platform, which focuses on fish and invertebrate species and their trophic interactions. The main characteristic of OSMOSE is that it assumes opportunistic predation based on spatial co-occurrence and size adequacy between a predator and its prey (i.e., size-based opportunistic predation). OSMOSE simulates the life cycle of (typically 10 to 20) “focal functional groups”, and implicitly considers “background functional groups”, which only serve as potential food source.

Could you please integrate this text into FishBase glossary? Many thanks!

@agruss2 Term OSMOSE has been added to the FishBase and SeaLifeBase glossary tables. It will be reflected in the February 2018 updates once online.

@FIN-JBarile Many thanks; I can now close the present issue.

@Dengaloo @FIN-JBarile @QQ-Sortiz Since OSMOSE terminology was recently updated, we also need to update the text that was integrated into FishBase glossary.

Here is the text that should now appear in FishBase glossary:

OSMOSE: Two-dimensional, multi-species, individual-based modeling platform, which focuses on fish and invertebrate species and their trophic interactions. The main characteristic of OSMOSE is that it assumes opportunistic predation based on spatial co-occurrence and size adequacy between a predator and its prey (i.e., size-based opportunistic predation). OSMOSE simulates the life cycle of (typically 10 to 20) “focal functional groups”, and implicitly considers “biotic resources”, which only serve as potential food source.

Could you please use the text above to update the definition of OSMOSE that is provided in FishBase glossary, and let me know when this is done so that I can close the present issue? Many thanks!

The text for OSMOSE in the glossary of Fishbase and SeaLifeBase are now updated in our encoding databases. These changes will be available online latest on the next FishBase update which is in April.

@FIN-JBarile @Dengaloo Perfect, many thanks! I can now close the present issue.

@agruss2 Sorry for this post-closing comment as I forgot to ask earlier. Can you kindly provide translation of the OSMOSE text in French? We do have a provision for that in the glossary table. Would be nice to have if you can provide it, at your convenience. Thanks.

@FIN-JBarile Here is the text in French:

OSMOSE: Plate-forme de modélisation individu-centrée, multi-espèces et en deux dimensions, qui se concentre sur les espèces de poissons et d'invertébrés et leurs interactions trophiques. La caractéristique principale d'OSMOSE est qu'il part du principe que le processus de prédation est opportuniste et qu'il dépend de la co-occurrence spatiale des individus et de la taille des proies relativement à celle de leurs prédateurs (i.e., OSMOSE part du principe que la prédation est un processus opportuniste basé sur les tailles des individus). OSMOSE simule le cycle de vie de (typiquement 10 à 20) "groupes fonctionnels focaux", et considère de manière implicite des "ressources biotiques", qui servent simplement de nourriture potentielle aux groupes fonctionnels focaux.

Please let me know when we can (re-)close the present issue. Merci beaucoup!

@agruss2 Done incorporating text in French. Merci!

@FIN-JBarile Parfait, merci Skit! I can now close the present issue.
