• Visualizing the Food-Web Effects of Fishing for Tunas in the Pacific Ocean (2004, methodology): “Purse-seine effort increased substantially in the 1970s and elevated fishing mortality on tunas with shallow depth distributions, such as skipjack and yellowfin (Cox et al. 2002a).”
• Jellyfish in ecosystems, online databases, and ecosystem models (2008, background): “The habitat types they cover range from semienclosed waters in the case of Chesapeake Bay (Baird & Ulanowicz, 1989) and Prince William Sound (Okey & Pauly, 1998) to large areas of the open ocean such as the Central North Pacific (Cox et al., 2002).”
• Physical forcing and the dynamics of the pelagic ecosystem in the eastern tropical Pacific: simulations with ENSO-scale and global-warming climate drivers (2003, background): “First, models like ours that aggregate over large spatial scales, many species, and multiple age structures are likely to be less responsive to the effects of fishing than models with less aggregation (Cox et al. 2002).”
• A spatial ecosystem and populations dynamics model (SEAPODYM) – Modeling of tuna and tuna-like populations (2008, methodology): “For tuna and pelagic ecosystem in the Pacific Ocean, such comparative analyses can include the statistical stock assessment models MULTIFAN-CL (Hampton and Fournier, 2001) and A-SCALA (Maunder and Watters, 2003), the ecotrophic model ECOPATH (Cox et al., 2002; Kitchell et al., 2002; Watters et al., ”
• Insight into the Trophic Ecology of Yellowfin Tuna, Thunnus albacares, from Compound‐Specific Nitrogen Isotope Analysis of Proteinaceous Amino Acids (2007, methodology): “Fisheries-induced restructuring of food webs has not been demonstrated empirically for high-seas pelagic ecosystems of the Pacific Ocean, although modeling studies of the central north Pacific (Cox et al. 2002) and the ETP (Olson and Watters 2003) have shown strong evidence for top-down effects of h”
• Novel index for quantification of ecosystem effects of fishing as removal of secondary production (2008, background): “Exploitation of the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean seems to be limited by physical and technological factors although sustainability of this open sea decreases over time due to excessive pressure on high trophic levels (Cox et al. 2002).”
• Food-web inferences of stable isotope spatial patterns in copepods and yellowfin tuna in the pelagic eastern Pacific Ocean (2010, background): “These data provide the taxonomic information required to define trophic links in ecosystem models (e.g. Cox et al., 2002; Olson and Watters, 2003), while isotope data may provide better estimates of biomass flow.”
• Reconstructing ecosystem dynamics in the central Pacific Ocean, 1952-1998. II. A preliminary assessment of the trophic impacts of fishing and effects on tuna dynamics (2002, methodology): “The low value produced higher simulated biomasses during the 1952–1982 period; however, these were well within the range of uncertainty associated with skipjack biomass from the single-species model ( Cox et al. 2002 ).”
