Tackling aquatic invasions: risks and opportunities for the aquarium fish industry (2009, background): “Invasive species are a growing source of ecological and economic harm worldwide (Chapin et al. 2000; Sala et al. 2000; Worm et al. 2006; Lotze et al. 2006).”
Thermal niche of Atlantic cod Gadus morhua: limits, tolerance and optima (2010, background): “Similar to most commercial species, most cod stocks are now heavily over-exploited (Worm et al. 2006, ICES 2007, Pitcher et al. 2009) and, in some cases, collapsing (Hutchings & Myers 1994, Cook et al. 1997, O’Brien et al. 2000, Christensen et al. 2003, Hutchings 2004, Rose 2004), with continued…”
Responsible genetic approach to stock restoration, sea ranching and stock enhancement of marine fishes and invertebrates (2017, background): “Genetic diversity and adaptation play key roles in community dynamics by supporting ecosystem functions (Hoffman and Merilä 1999; Worm et al. 2006; Hughes et al. 2008; Whitham et al. 2008; Bailey et al. 2009; Matthews et al. 2011; Hoban et al. 2013).”
Understanding the Effects of Marine Biodiversity on Communities and Ecosystems (2007, background): “Mixed algal diets enhanced herbivore growth, biomass accumulation, and/or reproductive output compared to average algal monocultures in nearly all cases examined for taxa as diverse as protozoa, crustaceans, and sea urchins (see Table 1a,b; Supplemental Table 4; and Worm et al. 2006 for details).”
The functional role of biodiversity in ecosystems: incorporating trophic complexity. (2007, methodology): “…comparisons that detail the natural ecological associations between species diversity and productivity of large-scale, whole ecosystems (e.g. Worm et al. 2006); (3) using simulations to model the consequences of extinction for systems where experimental tests are impractical, as has been…”
What catch data can tell us about the status of global fisheries (2012, background): “Without presenting new data or insights into the status of global fisheries and without paying due attention to previous discussions of this topic (Worm et al. 2007), Branch et al.”
Overfishing and the disappearance of short-beaked common dolphins from western Greece (2008, background): “The declines in fish stocks and loss of marine biodiversity caused by fishing pressure are a growing concern worldwide (Pauly et al. 1998, 2002, Jackson et al. 2001, Pitcher 2001, Csirke 2005, Worm et al. 2006).”
Impact of elevated UVB radiation on marine biota: a meta‐analysis (2012, background): “, 2008), elevated UVB radiation has been neglected in evaluations of possible anthropogenic stresses accounting for the current widespread demise of marine biota (Lotze et al., 2006; Worm et al., 2006; Jackson, 2008).”
Designing marine reserve networks for both conservation and fisheries management (2010, background): “Although these estimates are based on the extreme assumption that overexploitation has reduced local fished stocks to negligible levels infished areas, overexploitation does exist in many parts of the world (38, 84, 85), and increased local fishing pressure in response to displacement from reserves ”
The portfolio concept in ecology and evolution (2015, background): “For instance, fishery yields tend to be more stable through time if multiple species or multiple stocks of the same species are exploited simultaneously (Worm et al. 2006; Schindler et al. 2010), despite limited understanding of the causes of dynamics of the component parts.”
Habitat degradation increases functional originality in highly diverse coral reef fish assemblages (2016, background): “Functional redundancy exists when the niches of several species overlap to the degree that a portfolio of functionally equivalent species is present within an ecosystem (Yachi and Loreau 1999).”
Life in the salinity gradient: Discovering mechanisms behind a new biodiversity pattern (2013, background): “…indicated by a number of original studies, and identified mechanisms behind those linkages include complementary resource use, positive interactions, and increased selection of highly performing species at high diversity (Worm et al., 2006; Loreau and de Mazancourt, 2013, and references therein).”
Global shark currency: the distribution, frequency, and economic value of shark ecotourism (2011, background): “Furthermore, such capital depends on the maintenance of ecosystem biodiversity and resilience; nevertheless, many natural systems are experiencing severe losses in both (Dunne, Williams, & Martinez, 2002; Pearce & Moran, 1996; Tittensor et al., 2010; Worm et al., 2007).”
