Seascapes of fear: evaluating sublethal predator effects experienced and generated by marine mammals (2008, background): “…recent studies addressing possible ecosystem effects of marine mammals often have not considered their potential either to scare prey (e.g., Jackson et al. 2001, Springer et al. 2003, Morissette et al. 2006, Zerbini et al. 2006) or to be scared by predators (e.g., Preen 1995, Estes et al. 2004).”
Framework for understanding marine ecosystem health (2013, background): “…components; for example, explaining the decline of Alaskan kelp forests by increased echinoderm grazing following a decline in sea-otters (Estes & Duggins 1995), which was perhaps due to increased predation by killer whales deprived of their former prey, the great whales (Estes et al. 2004).”
The role of kelp species as biogenic habitat formers in coastal marine ecosystems (2017, background): “609 Elevated abundances of fish species consequently attracts larger piscivores, such as seabirds and sea 610 otters, whose distribution may be closely linked to kelp forests (Estes et al., 2004; Graham, 2004; 611 Steneck et al., 2002).”
The genus Laminaria sensu lato : recent insights and developments (2008, background): “( 1998 , 2004 ) from the NE Pacific revealed possibly the most comprehensive example in this context, linking oceanic and coastal ecosystems.”
Whales, Whaling, and Ocean Ecosystems (2007, background): “In turn, the loss of sea otters caused marked changes in kelp forest ecosystems (Estes et al. 2004).”
Long Term Variability in the Structure of Kelp Communities in Northern Chile and the 1997–98 ENSO (2006, background): “In kelp forests, population changes in top predators commonly drive these shifts through top-down forcing processes ( Estes et al., 2004 ).”
Dietary overlap and prey selectivity among sympatric carnivores: could dingoes suppress foxes through competition for prey? (2011, background): “1 Top-order predators can have an important role in structuring ecosystems by the regulation of their prey or competitors, or both (Beschta 2003; Crooks and Soulé 1999; Estes et al. 2004; Ripple et al. 2001).”
