• Forage fauna in the diet of three large pelagic fishes (lancetfish, swordfish and yellowfin tuna) in the western equatorial Indian Ocean (2007, background): “Such a removal of top predators could have repercussions on the food web structure through top-down, trophic cascades (Kitchell et al., 1999; Essington et al., 2002 ).”
• Isotopic evidence of distinct feeding ecologies and movement patterns in two migratory predators (yellowfin tuna and swordfish) of the western Indian Ocean (2007, background): “40 4 Introduction41 Catches of tunas and billfishes have increased dramatically the past twenty years in the 42 western Indian Ocean, very likely altering the structure and functioning of the ecosystems 43 through trophic cascades (Essington et al. 2002; FAO 2006).”
• Fish aggregation device (FAD) research: gaps in current knowledge and future directions for ecological studies (2004, background): “Increased use of drifting FADs could also lead to cascading predator–prey effects on the pelagic ecosystem (Essington et al., 2002).”
• KILLER APPETITES: ASSESSING THE ROLE OF PREDATORS IN ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITIES (2004, unknown): “Such an integrated analysis, widely employed by fish ecologists (Kitchell et al. 1977, Kitchell 1998, Essington et al. 2002), can be used to refine and test theories of community importance for a wide variety of ecosystems.”
• Visualizing the Food-Web Effects of Fishing for Tunas in the Pacific Ocean (2004, background): “Fisheries have been likened to keystone predators (Kitchell et al. 1999) in that the sustained pressure of harvesting can reduce the ecological impacts of the target predators on their prey (Essington et al. 2002).”
• Stable isotopes from multiple tissues reveal diet switching in sharks (2005, background): “…studies have demonstrated generally that the removal of these fishes from tropical and temperate communities affects the abundance of other fishes, both negatively and positively, across many trophic levels (Stevens et al. 2000, Cox et al. 2002, Essington et al. 2002, Kitchell et al. 2002).”
• Feeding Partitioning among Tuna Taken in Surface and Mid-water Layers: The Case of Yellowfin ( Thunnus albacares ) and Bigeye ( T. obesus ) in the Western Tropical Indian Ocean (2004, background): “The ecological role of apex predators in marine food webs is of interest because it is a critical in the assessment of the effects of fishing on ecosystems (Essington et al, 2002; Schindler et al., 2002; Cox et al., 2002; Watters et al., 2003).”
