Taking account of catchability in groundfish survey trawls: implications for estimating demersal fish biomass (2007, background): “In studies of predator–prey interactions, knowledge of predator abundance is essential if total predation loadings are to be assessed (Hislop et al., 1991; Wanless et al., 1998; Furness, 2002).”
Identifying sandeel Ammodytes marinus sediment habitat preferences in the marine environment (2005, background): “Consequently, most concern has focused on the potential impact of sandeel fishing on seabirds (Monaghan 1992, Furness & Tasker 2000, Furness 2002, 2003).”
Forage fish, their fisheries, and their predators: who drives whom? (2014, background): “In general, seabirds tend to show the greatest sensitivity, with large proportions of forage fish in the diet and restricted foraging ranges during breeding when birds are often highly concentrated (see also Furness, 2002, 2007; Frederiksen et al., 2004; Wanless et al., 2005; Cury et al., 2011).”
Impacts of fisheries on seabird communities (2003, background): “…in the northern North Sea taken by scavenging seabirds, and predictions of further reductions as a consequence of technical measures and reduced fishing effort currently coming into effect (Reeves and Furness, 2002), we can anticipate conservation problems for scavenging seabirds over coming years.”
An energetic correlate between colony size and foraging effort in seabirds, an example of the Adélie penguinPygoscelis adeliae (2009, background): “…wide-spread pollution or introduction of alien invasive species (Ainley 2002a, Smith et al. 2007), and, therefore, offers an unparalleled opportunity to investigate ecological interactions free of direct anthropogenic influence (e.g., Furness 2002, Österblom et al. 2006, 2007, Crawford 2007).”
From plankton to top predators: bottom-up control of a marine food web across four trophic levels. (2006, background): “One of the species occupying this trophic position in the North Sea is the lesser sandeel (Ammodytes marinus Raitt; hereafter sandeel), which feeds on zooplankton (mainly copepods) (Reay 1986) and is a key prey of predatory fish, marine mammals and seabirds (Greenstreet, McMillan & Armstrong 1998; H”
