The feeds are updated as data is updated in AquaBrowser. We are currently running a full bib export from our database on a weekly basis, and incremental updates each night. If the number of items retrieved via the feed exceeds 100, the feed will default to 100 items. If the number of items is less than 100, all items will be included.
