- Mixed species aggregations feeding upon herring and sandlance schools in a nearshore archipelago depend on flooding tidal currents (2003, background): “Furthermore, because flood tides occur more often in the afternoon and evening during summer (χ2 = 122.3, df = 21, p < 0.0001; see Zamon 2001), an evening peak in auklet activity could cause an apparent tidal pattern in the frequency of feeding flocks, i.e. more feeding flocks during flood tides.”
- Confusion reigns? A review of marine megafauna interactions with tidal-stream environments (2015, background): “Intra- and interspecific interactions The enhanced foraging opportunities in tidal-stream environments often result in the attraction of multiple marine megafauna, often including both seabirds and marine mammals (e.g. Zamon 2001, 2003, Pierpoint 2008).”
- Harbor Seal Diet in Northern Puget Sound: Implications for the Recovery of Depressed Fish Stocks (2012, background): “Specialized foraging techniques relative to prey type and its behavior are documented for the San Juan Islands, Protection Island, and elsewhere (Suryan & Harvey 1998, Zamon 2001, Bowen et al. 2002).”
- Factors affecting marine production of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) (2004, background): “Also, from Pacific salmon, it is known that predation by killer whales (Orcinus orca) as well as seals may be high (Nichol and Shackleton 1996; Zamon 2001).”
- Survival of Puget Sound chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in response to climate-induced competition with pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) (2004, background): “Of the key predators on salmon, only harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardsi), which typically consume adult salmon (Zamon 2001), have increased in abundance during the recent period (Puget Sound Water Quality Action Team 2002).”
