• Linking predators to seasonality of upwelling: Using food web indicators and path analysis to infer trophic connections (2012, background): “Upwelling timing has also become more variable (Schwing et al., 2006), with substantial ecosystem consequences (Brodeur et al., 2006; Sydeman et al., 2006).”
• Coherence of long-term variations of zooplankton in two sectors of the California Current System (2007, background): “In contrast, in Southern California waters, the biomass of these same two species of euphausiids was at or above their long-term mean and the abundance of auklets was anomalously high, suggesting that the starved auklets flew south to utilize a better prey resource (Sydeman et al., 2006).”
• Changes in Canadian seabird populations and ecology since 1970 in relation to changes in oceanography and food webs (2009, background): “…Auklets in 1999–2004 (MJFL and JMH unpublished data), but 2005 was the worst year on record for the breeding of this species at Triangle Island (Sydeman et al. 2006) and the population certainly has declined further, although the magnitude of the change is not known (JMH, unpublished data).”
• Climate change impacts on marine ecosystems. (2012, background): “For example, seabird reproductive failures have been attributed to spatial and temporal mismatches in the availability of and demand for prey (Sydeman et al. 2006).”
• Extreme climatic events in relation to global change and their impact on life histories (2011, background): “…reduction that have incorporated geometric mean fitness have shown that selection will favour the overproduction of offspring provided that the costs in bad years are more than balanced by the gains in good years (Temme and Charnov, 1987; Forbes, 1991; Ford and Ydenberg, 1992; Konarzewski, 1993).”
• Marine top predators as climate and ecosystem sentinels (2019, background): “The collapse of breeding success for Cassin’s auklets was a rapid and timely response to a lack of prey in 2005, which was one of the first indicators that delayed upwelling resulted in a broader ecosystem response (Sydeman et al. 2006).”
