- Status of the world's baleen whales (2016, background): “While there is interest in making species-level comparisons when evaluating global biodiversity trends for terrestrial and marine mammals (Schipper et al. 2008, Kovacs et al. 2012), such comparisons can break down at the subspecies and subpopulation levels.”
- Current global risks to marine mammals: Taking stock of the threats (2018, methodology): “Similar to Kovacs et al. (2012) we identified hotspots for pinnipeds in the North Atlantic and North Pacific, but we also identified more specific risk areas in the Antarctica.”
- Marine mammal bycatch in gillnet and other entangling net fisheries, 1990 to 2011 (2013, background): “In a recent authoritative global review of pinniped conservation problems (Kovacs et al. 2012), bycatch was identified as a primary threat to the Critically Endangered Saimaa ringed seal Pusa hispida saimensis and as an ‘acute threat’ to 3 Endangered taxa — the Australian sea lion Neophoca cinerea,…”
- Arctic sea ice in transformation: A review of recent observed changes and impacts on biology and human activity (2014, background): “The impact of changing ice conditions on seabirds are expected to be controlled principally through changes in food availability due to changes in ice edge location that have in the past provided concentrated resources close to colonies [Kovacs et al., 2012].”
- Forecasting the relative influence of environmental and anthropogenic stressors on polar bears (2016, background): “…input node to express changes in the abundance of alternative marine mammal prey, and to allow northward range expansion (into Arctic waters) by novel prey species as sea ice extent declines and ice phenology and characteristics change over time (e.g., Lowry and Boveng 2009, Kovacs et al. 2012).”
- Marine mammal conservation: over the horizon (2021, background): “…declines caused by exploitation, and additional current threats, such as climate change, fisheries bycatch, pollution and maritime development, continue to jeopardize many marine mammal species (Kovacs et al. 2012, Magera et al. 2013, Parsons et al. 2015, Albouy et al. 2017, Avila et al. 2018).”
