conservation of freshwater and euryhaline elasmobranchs: a review (2005, background): “…is well established (Holden, 1974; Brander, 1981; Thorson, 1982a; Compagno, 1990a; Manire & Gruber, 1990; Bon¢l, 1994; Camhi et al., 1998; Casey & Myers, 1998; Hueter, 1998; Dulvy et al., 2000; Musick et al., 2000; Stevens et al., 2000; Fowler et al., 2002; Baum et al., 2003; Baum & Myers, 2004).”
Deep-water fish fauna in the Eastern Ionian Sea (2005, background): “Fisheries exploitation affects species abundance and especially long-lived, large-sized species, and species generally positioned high in the food web (PAULY et al., 1998) such as chondrichthyes (STEVENS et al., 2000).”
Habitat use and demographic population structure of elasmobranchs at a Caribbean atoll (Glover's Reef, Belize) (2005, background): “…by elasmobranchs is a topic of current and increasing research interest, in part because recent studies have started to reveal the important role these top-level predators may play in structuring marine communities (Stevens et al. 2000, Heithaus et al. 2002, Heithaus 2004, Bascompte et al. 2005).”
Ocean acidification exacerbates the impacts of global warming on embryonic little skate, Leucoraja erinacea (Mitchill) (2015, background): “Because the vast majority of skates are not managed, vulnerability to local extinctions tends to be ignored (Chin et al., 2010; Dulvy and Reynolds, 2002; Dulvy et al., 2003; Stevens et al., 2000).”
From traits to life‐history strategies: Deconstructing fish community composition across European seas (2017, background): “As fishing increases disturbance, it will most likely benefit opportunistic 390 species while disadvantaging the equilibrium species (Jennings et al. 1999b, Stevens et al. 2000).”
Extinction of a shark population in the Archipelago of Saint Paul's Rocks (equatorial Atlantic) inferred from the historical record (2011, background): “…is well-known and characterized by life-history attributes like slow growth, late attainment of sexual maturity, long life spans and low fecundity (Stevens et al., 2000) Recent surveys have been apparently adequate given the species’ ease of detection, but have failed to detect the species Yes.”
Stable isotopes from multiple tissues reveal diet switching in sharks (2005, background): “…studies have demonstrated generally that the removal of these fishes from tropical and temperate communities affects the abundance of other fishes, both negatively and positively, across many trophic levels (Stevens et al. 2000, Cox et al. 2002, Essington et al. 2002, Kitchell et al. 2002).”
Migration and habitat of white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) in the eastern Pacific Ocean (2007, background): “This knowledge is essential to the management of white shark populations, which are threatened globally (Stevens et al. 2000).”
Seasonal, diel, and tidal movements of green jobfish (Aprion virescens, Lutjanidae) at remote Hawaiian atolls: implications for marine protected area design (2007, background): “In coral reef systems this role is Wlled by sharks and large teleosts such as jacks (Carangidae), groupers (Serranidae), and snappers (Lutjanidae) (Polovina 1984; Sudekum et al. 1991; Stevens et al. 2000 ).”
Rapid worldwide depletion of predatory fish communities (2003, background): “Furthermore, declines in other large predators such as sharks are not fully captured by our data, but may be of similar or greater magnitude than those of bony fishe”
Overfishing, tropicalization of fish stocks, uncertainty and ecosystem management: resharpening Ockham's razor (2002, background): “Effects at the community level: (a) destruction of structure and heterogeneity of benthic habitats (see review by Jennings and Kaiser, 1998); (b) changes in relative species composition (e.g., Pauly, 1994a; Caddy and Rodhouse, 1998; Fogarty and Murawski, 1998; Stevens et al., 2000); (c) decrease in ”
The survival of discarded lesser-spotted dogfish ( Scyliorhinus canicula) in the Western English Channel beam trawl fishery (2005, background): “This has been explained by their relatively short life histories (Dulvy et al., 2000; Stevens et al., 2000) and/or the increased availability of food subsidies from discarding (Walker and Hislop, 1998).”
Ecological role, fishing impact, and management options for the recovery of a Mediterranean endemic skate by means of food web models (2013, background): “In particular, elasmobranches (a subclass of Chondrichthyes or cartilaginous fish) are highly vulnerable organisms that have been observed to decrease with increasing fishing intensity in many exploited areas due to their large body sizes, slow growth, late maturation and low fecundity (Stevens et a”
