Trade-offs between conservation and socio-economic objectives in managing a tropical marine ecosystem (2008, methodology): “Based on a range of Ecopath ecosystem models representing different regions in North America and model complexity, values of the Q-90 index can range between 2 and 10 ( Ainsworth and Pitcher, 2006 ).”
Effects of climate‐driven primary production change on marine food webs: implications for fisheries and conservation (2010, methodology): “The last indicator was community biomass evenness of all groups in an Ecosim model and was measured using the Kempton index, which is the slope of the cumulative biomass curve (Ainsworth & Pitcher, 2006).”
From common to rare: The case of the Mediterranean common dolphin (2011, background): “5 or higher (Kempton and Taylor, 1976; Ainsworth and Pitcher, 2006); (2) the ratio between common dolphin biomass versus total biomass; (3) the ratio between top predators biomass (those organisms with trophic levels”
