Resolving the effect of climate change on fish populations (2009, background): “Extensive fishing may cause fish populations to become more vulnerable to short-term natural climate variability (O’Brien et al., 2000; Walther et al., 2002; Beaugrand et al., 2003; Anderson et al., 2008), by making such populations less able to “buffer” against the effects of the occasional poor ye”
Demographic changes in Chinook salmon across the Northeast Pacific Ocean (2018, background): “Furthermore, a less diverse age- structure may decrease population stability through increased variability in abundance (Anderson et al., 2008; Hsieh et al., 2006) or weaker portfolio effects through reduced life history complexity (Schindler et al., 2010).”
The conservation and fishery benefits of protecting large pike Esox lucius L. by harvest regulations in recreational fishing (2010, background): “fraction of young fish amplifies a stock’s nonlinear dynamics and destabilizes its abundance (Anderson et al., 2008).”
Shifting dynamic forces in fish stock fluctuations triggered by age truncation? (2011, background): “Age truncation can thus lead to changes in the natural variability of populations (Hsieh et al., 2006; Anderson et al., 2008), increasing their risk of collapse and decreasing the ability to recover.”
Dynamic angling effort influences the value of minimum‐length limits to prevent recruitment overfishing (2013, background): “Despite the potential for rebound, recruitment overfishing and the associated sharp age and size truncation should be avoided for precautionary reasons to reduce the potential for destabilised stock dynamics (Anderson et al. 2008; but see Lobón-Cervia 2011), regime shifts (Walters & Kitchell 2001; C”
