• Foraging dynamics of seabirds in the Eastern tropical pacific ocean (2007, background): “However, regarding the importance of tuna to the ETP avifauna, it is important to note that the tuna catch volume has seen a large increase by commercial fi sheries in recent decades (Cox et al. 2002, Myers and Worm 2003, Hinke et al. 2004, Hampton et al. 2005, Maury and Lehodey 2005).”
• Best practice in Ecopath with Ecosim food-web models for ecosystem-based management (2016, background): “Alternatively, a model can be constructed for the year where most data is available, and then adapted to an earlier timeframe where time series data started, as was done in several examples such as for Central North Pacific (Cox et al., 2002), the Aleutian Islands (Heymans, 2005), Newfoundland (Pitc”
• Understanding impacts of fisheries bycatch on marine megafauna (2004, background): “As apex species, large marine vertebrates play an important role in food-web structure and ecosystem function [ 37 ,38] and the incidental removal of such megafauna could lead to cascading ecological changes [40].”
• Increases in the relative abundance of mid-trophic level fishes concurrent with declines in apex predators in the subtropical North Pacific, 1996–2006 (2009, methodology): “However another modeling effort with an EwE model that incorporated some sizeclass structure revealed that although fishing decreased predator abundance, there was limited evidence (based on the decline in predators) of trophic cascades or other ecosystem impacts (Cox et al., 2002).”
• Jellyfish in ecosystems, online databases, and ecosystem models (2008, background): “The ecosystems represented are also subject to different degrees of human impacts, ranging from heavily fished, e.g., the Hong Kong area (Cheung et al., 2002), to exploitation targeting mainly top predators, e.g., the Central North Pacific ( Cox et al., 2002 ).”
• Decadal diet shift in yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares suggests broad-scale food web changes in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (2014, methodology): “This analysis is an essential component for developing improved food web models (e.g. Cox et al. 2002, Olson & Watters 2003) for examining hypotheses of ecosystem effects of fishing over a backdrop of climate variation (Watters et al. 2003).”
• Assessing the trophic position and ecological role of squids in marine ecosystems by means of food-web models (2013, background): “…species (e.g., Bundy, 2005; Coll et al., 2008; Gasalla et al., 2010; Heymans and Baird, 2000; Rosas-Luis et al., 2008) and have been used to investigate squids’ ecological role in marine ecosystems under plausible scenarios of fishing and climate change (Cox et al., 2002; Watters et al., 2003).”
• Foraging arena theory (2012, background): “Indeed, when Ecosim models have been fit to time-series data by estimating vulnerable exchange rates, many predator-prey linkages are predicted to involve a vulnerability exchange structure (estimated low v’s, e.g. Cox et al. 2002; Heymans 2003; Heymans et al. 2009).”
• 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).”
• The contribution of cephalopods to global marine fisheries: can we have our squid and eat them too? (2010, methodology): “The boundaries of the central north Pacific (CNP) and eastern tropical Pacific (ETP) ecosystems were based on those designated in published ecosystem models for these systems (Cox et al. 2002; Olson and Watters 2003).”
• 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., ”
• Ecological effects of longline fishing and climate change on the pelagic ecosystem off eastern Australia (2010, background): “For example, several models (Kitchell et al. 1999; Cox et al. 2002; Olson and Watters 2003) show that micronekton fishes, cephalopods and small scombrids (e.”
