Global catches, exploitation rates, and rebuilding options for sharks (2013, background): “Lower impacts of shark removals have been predicted by models for some small coastal species [27] and pelagic sharks, which may fill similar niches to billfish and tuna [28].”
Geographic and ontogenetic variation in the diet and daily ration of the bonnethead shark, Sphyrna tiburo, from the eastern Gulf of Mexico (2007, methodology): “Quantitative diet analysis, and its use in bioenergetic models, has become important to shark population and ecosystem modeling (See e.g., Kitchell et al. 2002; Lowe 2002; Schindler et al. 2002; Carlson 2007; Neer et al. 2007).”
A spatial ecosystem and populations dynamics model (SEAPODYM) – Modeling of tuna and tuna-like populations (2008, methodology): “For tuna and pelagic ecosystem in the Pacific Ocean, such comparative analyses can include the statistical stock assessment models MULTIFAN-CL (Hampton and Fournier, 2001) and A-SCALA (Maunder and Watters, 2003), the ecotrophic model ECOPATH (Cox et al., 2002; Kitchell et al., 2002; Watters et al., ”
Sizing up the ecological role of sharks as predators (2014, result): “This hypothesis is consistent with Ecopath model findings by Kitchell et al. (2002), who reported that simulated shark removal within an open-ocean ecosystem resulted in limited perturbation.”
Ecological importance of sharks and rays in a structural foodweb analysis in southern Brazil (2014, background): “Structural foodwebs allow us to identify trophic relationships without grouping species into large groups (e.g. “sharks” or “rays”), as is common in mass balance studies (e.g. Kitchell et al., 2002; Sánchez et al., 2005; Freire et al., 2008).”
Apparent Resource Partitioning and Trophic Structure of Large-Bodied Marine Predators in a Relatively Pristine Seagrass Ecosystem (2013, background): “…without written consent of the publisher Mar Ecol Prog Ser 481: 225–237, 2013 their trophic interactions and the degree of re source partitioning or trophic redundancy that may exist within this guild of large marine predators (e.g. Kitchell et al. 2002, Heithaus et al. 2008, Ferretti et al. 2010).”
Increases in the relative abundance of mid-trophic level fishes concurrent with declines in apex predators in the subtropical North Pacific, 1996–2006 (2009, methodology): “The pattern reversed when fishing was eliminated: the biomass of mahimahi, flying squid, and lancetfish all decreased as their predators increased (Kitchell et al., 2002; Fig.”
You can swim but you can't hide: the global status and conservation of oceanic pelagic sharks and rays (2008, background): “While the over-exploitation of sharks and rays may have minor ecosystem effects in oceanic pelagic systems, the intrinsic biodiversity value and long evolutionary history of these species provides strong argument for appropriate management and conservation (Kitchell et al., 2002).”
Keystone species: toward an operational concept for marine biodiversity conservation (2015, methodology): “…fact, most models were included in the meta-analysis introducing the KS2 index (Libralato et al. 2006), or had the latter index applied by their authors, while four models had alternative original methods proposed by the modelers applied (Aydin et al. 2002, Kitchell et al. 2002, Okey et al. 2004).”
Spatial and temporal variation in shark communities of the lower Florida Keys and evidence for historical population declines (2007, background): “)) present, declines in shark populations may not have a large influence on community structure (Kitchell et al. 2002).”
