• A comparative study of Calanus finmarchicus mortality patterns at five localities in the North Atlantic (2004, background): “Such forecasts are complicated by the growing recognition of natural oceaneatmosphere variations on multi-decadal time scales (e.g. Mantua et al., 1997; Brinton and Townsend, 2003; Lavaniegos and Ohman, 2003).”
• Questioning the Rise of Gelatinous Zooplankton in the World's Oceans (2012, unknown): “…a nuanced relationship between variability in gelatinous zooplankton and short-term changes in environmental parameters (e.g., seasonal hypoxia, interannual climate variability; Lavaniegos and Ohman 2003, Atkinson et al. 2004, Costello et al. 2006, Brodeur et al. 2008, Kogovšek et al. 2010).”
• REPORT OF THE STUDY GROUP ON FISHERIES AND ECOSYSTEM RESPONSES TO RECENT REGIME SHIFTS (2005, background): “5) have been produced for pelagic tunicates (Lavaniegos and Ohman 2003), copepods (Rebstock 2001, 2002, 2003) and euphausiids (Brinton and Townsend 2003), and these time series indicate that the overall decline in total zooplankton biomass was driven by longterm declines in the biomass of pelagic tu”
• Climate change impacts on marine ecosystems. (2012, background): “Reductions in pelagic tunicates are largely responsible for this decline from the 1950s to early 1990s, possibly as warm-water taxa were favored by a shift toward greater relative abundance of small prey (picoplankton) (Lavaniegos & Ohman 2003).”
• Ocean climate, euphausiids and auklet nesting: inter-annual trends and variation in phenology, diet and growth of a planktivorous seabird, Ptychoramphus aleuticus (2004, background): “Lavaniegos & Ohman (2003) provided evidence that the principal cause of the biomass decline (and reversal in 1999) was related to variations in pelagic tunicates.”
• Coherence of long-term variations of zooplankton in two sectors of the California Current System (2007, background): “The transition from the cool to the warm phase of the PDO in 1977 was accompanied by distinct and relatively abrupt changes in the species composition of salps and doliolids (Lavaniegos and Ohman, 2003) as well as euphausiids (Brinton and Townsend, 2003).”
• Ocean climate and prey availability affect the trophic level and reproductive success of the marbled murrelet, an endangered seabird (2007, background): “…krill and were important components of murrelet prebreeding diets despite overfishing of several species of rockfishes in central California (Leet et al. 2001, Starr et al. 2002) and an apparent decline in zooplankton in the CCS over the past 50 yr (McGowan et al. 1998, Lavaniegos & Ohman 2003).”
