• High mortality during settlement is a population bottleneck for a tropical surgeonfish (2004, methodology): “3 1025) falls within the confidence limits calculated by Osenberg et al. (2002) in their meta-analysis.”
• Density dependence and population regulation in marine fish: a large‐scale, long‐term field manipulation (2012, background): “While there are examples of inverse density dependence at small scales in reef fishes (reviews by Hixon and Webster 2002, Osenberg et al. 2002, White et al. 2010), Allee effects have seldom been detected in marine fishery species at the scale of entire stocks (Myers et al. 1995).”
• Larval retention and connectivity among populations of corals and reef fishes: history, advances and challenges (2009, background): “Extreme points of view have diminished as empirical examples demonstrating that population regulation falls along a continuum from little or no density dependence to strong density dependence have amassed (Caley et al. 1996; Hixon and Webster 2002; Hixon et al. 2002; Osenberg et al. 2002; Hixon and ”
• Role of habitat in mediating mortality during the post‐settlement transition phase of temperate marine fishes (2007, background): “A review of the relative importance of density dependence in reef fish populations concluded that 17 of 20 species analysed experienced the strongest densitydependent per capita mortality usually shortly after settlement (Osenberg et al., 2002).”
• Ecological Models and Data in R (2008, background): “In contrast, performing “unrealistic” manipulations like pushing population densities beyond their natural limits may help to identify density-dependent processes that are real and important but undetectable at ambient densities (Osenberg et al., 2002).”
• COMPETITION, PREDATION, AND DENSITY-DEPENDENT MORTALITY IN DEMERSAL MARINE FISHES (2005, background): “Regarding the focus of this paper— demersal marine fishes—there is increasing evidence that local density dependence manifests as mortality of new recruits (reviews by Myers and Cadigan 1993, Bailey 1994, Hixon and Webster 2002, Osenberg et al. 2002).”
• CRYPTIC DENSITY DEPENDENCE: EFFECTS OF COVARIATION BETWEEN DENSITY AND SITE QUALITY IN REEF FISH (2003, unknown): “If, in contrast, the intensity of density dependence is set by initial density and does not change as numbers in the cohort decline, the result is a Ricker recruitment function (Ricker 1954): 2bN t0N 5 N aet 0 (3) where a 5 e2at.”
• MARINE RESERVES EXPLOIT POPULATION STRUCTURE AND LIFE HISTORY IN POTENTIALLY IMPROVING FISHERIES YIELDS (2005, background): “…postdispersal density-dependent recruitment, often induced by competitive and predatory interactions or cannibalism, is pervasive and routinely strong in marine fishes as well as in some invertebrates (e.g., Caddy 1986, Caley et al. 1996, Myers 2001, Hixon and Webster 2002, Osenberg et al. 2002).”
