Insight into the Trophic Ecology of Yellowfin Tuna, Thunnus albacares, from Compound‐Specific Nitrogen Isotope Analysis of Proteinaceous Amino Acids (2007, background): “An alternative approach is to use primary consumers (e.g., zooplankton or bivalve mollusks), which may integrate short-term and spatial variability in the δ15N values of their diet, to represent trophic level 2 or slightly higher (e.g., Post 2002; Jennings et al. 2002).”
Gut content and stable isotope analyses provide complementary understanding of ontogenetic dietary shifts and trophic relationships among fishes in a tropical river (2012, background): “life histories of many fish species (Mittelbach & Persson, 1998; Jennings et al., 2002; Davis et al., 2011a).”
Reference points and reference directions for size-based indicators of community structure (2005, background): “Further details of the IBTS data and metric calculations are provided in Jennings et al. (2002a), and Nicholson and Jennings (2004).”
Models and indicators for assessing conservation and fisheries-related effects of marine protected areas (2008, unknown): “MPA effects could be studied from large-scale surveys or joint analyses of large-scale data (e.g. Jennings et al. 2002; Link et al. 2002, Methratta and Link 2006).”
Size structural change in lightly exploited coral reef fish communities: Evidence for weak indirect effects (2004, background): “Fish communities appear to change in a consistent sizespecific manner under exploitation as a consequence of the higher vulnerability and desirability of large-bodied individuals and species (Jennings et al. 1999a, 2002).”
Indicators to support an ecosystem approach to fisheries (2005, background): “As trophic level is not a measure of vulnerability and changes in mean trophic level are a consequence of changes in species and size composition, it is more logical to use size and species composition directly to measure the impacts of fishing (Jennings et al. 2002).”
Testing candidate indicators to support ecosystem-based management: the power of monitoring surveys to detect temporal trends in fish community metrics (2004, methodology): “However, the response of trophic level to fishing is less consistent than the response of body size (Jennings et al., 2002).”
Trophodynamic indicators for an ecosystem approach to fisheries (2005, background): “…suitability (MSVPA)/stomach content analysis Selectivity, trophic overlap, prey-switching: mostly Bu (Christensen and Pauly, 1993; ICES, 2002; Jennings et al., 2002) Consumption e food intake/stomach content analysis, gastric evacuation experiments State and trends: Td (Overholtz et al.,…”
Does diet in Celtic Sea fishes reflect prey availability (2003, unknown): “The body mass of many piscivorous fish species can increase by five orders of magnitude during their lives, and a fast-growing animal may begin life as a prey item, only to become the main predator on the same group of species within one year (Jennings et al., 2002).”
Applying stable isotopes to examine food‐web structure: an overview of analytical tools (2012, methodology): “For example, Jennings et al. (2002) examined the relationship between body size and trophic position for 31 fish taxa in the North Sea, and demonstrated the prevalence of increasing trophic position through ontogeny for most species.”
Stable isotope analysis as a tool for elasmobranch conservation research: a primer for non-specialists (2012, background): “2012), changes in assemblages over time (Pinnegar et al. 2002; Jennings et al. 2002) and with other environmental variables (Polunin et al.”
