Information needs for assessing critical habitat of freshwater fish (2006, background): “sponse (release from density dependence; Rose et al. 2001) that quickly attenuates because of insufficient recruitment to saturate adult habitat (e.”
Temporal and geographic variability of sardine maturity at length in the northeastern Atlantic and the western Mediterranean (2006, background): “However, it has often proved difficult to disentangle the direct influence of population density from that of long-term environmental trends, and this is further confounded by the effects of environmental conditions on population abundance, which in turn can trigger density-dependent maturation (Ros”
Documented and Potential Biological Impacts of Recreational Fishing: Insights for Management and Conservation (2006, background): “The compensatory potential of fish populations, however, is a matter of debate (Rose et al., 2001).”
Response of non-native lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) to 15 years of harvest in Yellowstone Lake, Yellowstone National Park (2011, background): “Although compensatory responses indicate a decrease in abundance, they can increase the resilience of populations to overharvest (Rose et al. 2001).”
Fish life history, angler behaviour and optimal management of recreational fisheries (2013, neutral): “Fish that exhibit different life-history strategies will differ in their production and in the degree to which densitydependent processes regulate the population, thus altering their ability to compensate for fishing mortality (Rose et al. 2001; Winemiller 2005; Goodwin et al. 2006).”
Impacts of hydroelectric dams on fishes and fisheries in tropical rivers through the lens of functional traits (2019, background): “In natural rivers, the most valuable stocks tend to be species with periodic life histories having high compensatory potential in reproductive output that facilitates fitness and population persistence in the face of large-scale variation in recruitment [52].”
Stock assessment in inland fisheries: a foundation for sustainable use and conservation (2016, background): “…mortality rates (Pauly 1980; Hoenig 1983), the level of recruitment compensation or ‘‘steepness’’ of the stock recruitment relationship (Myers 2001) and life history strategies that affect population variability (Winemiller 1989; Winemiller and Rose 1992; Rose et al. 2001; Olden et al. 2006).”

Trends and management implications of human-influenced life-history changes in marine ectotherms (2016, background): “…dynamics and density-dependent processes of 185 fished stocks are at the core of basic fisheries models and stock-recruitment relationships, yet a lack of 186 life-history data and poor understanding of interconnected processes remain limitation of such models 187 (Rose et al. 2001; Lorenzen 2016).”
Coping with the Lionfish Invasion: Can Targeted Removals Yield Beneficial Effects? (2012, background): “…determined, and it is likely to be affected by medium to long-term movement or recruitment of lionfish, as well as the potential onset of compensatory growth and reproductive effort in response to altered densities and size frequency distributions (Ricker, 1954; Rose et al., 2001; Lorenzen, 2008).”
Hypoxic areas, density-dependence and food limitation drive the body condition of a heavily exploited marine fish predator (2016, background): “Variations of condition in wild fish populations have been attributed to several factors, such as food availability [1], densitydependence [2], hydrological circumstances such as temperature [3], parasitic infection [4] or selective fishing [5].”
Life history correlates of density-dependent recruitment in marine fishes (2006, background): “At high population sizes, density-dependent processes that reduce the number of recruits produced per spawner are thought to result from competition for habitats and food, leading to limits on population sizes ( Rose et al. 2001; Myers 2002).”
An overview of recent global experience with recovery plans for depleted marine resources and suggested guidelines for recovery planning (2004, background): “Density-dependent processes in growth, larval and juvenile survival and reproduction, are compensatory if they result in slower population growth at high densities and increases in numbers and growth rates at low densities (Rose et al., 2001).”
