- Shifting gears: enzymatic evidence for the energetic advantage of switching diet in wild-living fish (2002, background): “Energetic bottlenecks have been implicated in the stunting of yellow perch living in pollutant-impacted food webs (Sherwood et al. 2002), should be involved in stunting the growth of lake trout living in invasion-impacted food webs (Vander Zanden et al. 1999; Pazzia 2001), and may play an important…”
- Influence of food web structure on the growth and bioenergetics of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) (2002, background): “Other instances when bottlenecks occur are when a predator reaches its maximum size and no other available prey in that system would otherwise increase predator growth (Sherwood et al. 2002a, 2002b).”
- Comparisons of macrofaunal assemblages on restored and non-restored oyster reefs in mesohaline regions of Chesapeake Bay in Maryland (2006, background): “Such trophic bottlenecks have been predicted by modeling studies (Ulanowicz and Tuttle 1992, Newell, 1988) and have been implicated as a cause of decreased fish biomass production in polluted lakes (Sherwood et al., 2002).”
