The role of taxonomy in species conservation. (2004, background): “B (2004) analyses might indicate that species are especially threatened in certain habitats (e.g. coastal ecosystems; Jackson et al. 2001), or facing a particular threat (e.g. marine capture fisheries; Pauly et al. 1998), or belonging to particular taxa (e.g. amphibians; Houlahan et al. 2000).”
Impending collapse of bluefin tuna in the northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean (2009, background): “Examples of such declines of exploited marine populations are well documented (Jackson et al. 2001; Hutchings & Reynolds 2004; NRC 2006; Rosenberg et al. 2006).”
Habitat triage for exploited fishes: Can we identify essential “Essential Fish Habitat?” (2005, background): “All rights reserved. doi:10.1016/j.ecss.2005.02.007 the demise of fish populations is clear (e.g., Jackson et al., 2001; Pauly and Maclean, 2003), it is also apparent that a number of other human activities have contributed to and may be preventing the recovery of fish stocks (Ruckelshaus et al.,…”
Coral bleaching, reef fish community phase shifts and the resilience of coral reefs (2006, background): “This widespread disturbance has impacted numerous reefs, many of which were already weakened by human activities, including systematic overfishing, habitat destruction and pollution (Jackson et al., 2001; Hughes et al., 2003; Pandolfi et al., 2003).”
Molecular evidence for cosmopolitan distribution of platyhelminth parasites of tunas (Thunnus spp.) (2007, background): “The abundance of many species of fishes has been adversely affected by fishing (Jackson et al. 2001; Myers and Worm 2003).”
Human Involvement in Food Webs (2010, background): “Dense populations of shore dwellers reduced valued species, such as the sea otter, and thrust human influence multiple trophic levels into food webs (23).”
Trophic cascades in the western Ross Sea, Antarctica: revisited (2015, background): “…physical properties have been assessed (reduced salinity, increasing sea ice concentrations, and altered sea-ice season: Jacobs et al. 2002, Jacobs 2006, Stammerjohn et al. 2008, 2012), as have population responses by major mesopredators as exhibited by the penguins (Ainley et al. 2010,…”
Predators drive community structure in coral reef fish assemblages (2015, background): “Major reductions in predator populations have occurred in almost every ecosystem on the planet, as a result of hunting, fishing, habitat destruction, and a myriad of other anthropogenic effects (Pauly et al. 1998, Jackson et al. 2001, Duffy 2003, Terborgh et al. 2010, Estes et al. 2011).”
MARINE RESERVES EXPLOIT POPULATION STRUCTURE AND LIFE HISTORY IN POTENTIALLY IMPROVING FISHERIES YIELDS (2005, background): “…interest in no-take marine reserves has increased enormously over the last decade (Willis et al. 2003), largely in response to a growing awareness of the declining state of many of the world’s fisheries (Botsford et al. 1997, Pauly et al. 1998, 2002, Jackson et al. 2001, Myers and Worm 2003).”
