The ecological role of bivalve shellfish aquaculture in the estuarine environment: A review with application to oyster and clam culture in West Coast (USA) estuaries (2009, background): “…literature suggests that the likelihood of regime shifts to alternate states can increase when anthropogenic disturbance causes reduced “ecological” resilience (Gunderson, 2000; Folke et al., 2004; Scheffer et al., 2005; Groffman et al., 2006; Walker et al., 2006; Levin and Lubchenco, 2008).”
Association of predators and prey at frontal features in the California Current: competition, facilitation, and co-occurrence (2009, unknown): “Per- 291 Mar Ecol Prog Ser 389: 271–294, 2009 haps this represents still another prey-depletion case by predators, with fish likely being the most important euphausiid predators in this region (cf. Scheffer et al. 2005, Miller & Brodeur 2007).”
Ecological and evolutionary consequences of living in a defaunated world (2013, background): “web have been well studied in aquatic systems (Horn et al., 2011; Scheffer et al., 2005), but remains poorly investigated in terrestrial”
Effects of climate‐driven primary production change on marine food webs: implications for fisheries and conservation (2010, background): “Changes in biomass of a species alter ecological interactions and have indirect effects throughout entire marine food webs (Scheffer et al., 2005).”
Paradigm lost, or is top-down forcing no longer significant in the Antarctic marine ecosystem? (2007, background): “…acceptance for marine environments other than the SO as more and more researchers detail the loss of top-down trophic structuring owing to over-fishing of top- and middle-trophic level species (e.g. NSF 1998, Schindler et al. 2002, Soulé et al. 2005, Scheffer et al. 2005, Frank et al. 2005).”
The Importance of Krill Predation in the Southern Ocean (2016, background): “Fish are clearly the most important predators in many other marine food-webs (Scheffer et al. 2005).”
Dredging for edible cockles (Cerastoderma edule) on intertidal flats: short-term consequences of fisher patch-choice decisions for target and non-target benthic fauna (2007, background): “The clear outcome of this work is to support the application of a whole ecosystem approach to fisheries management (e.g. Kaiser et al., 2000; Murawski, 2000; Scheffer et al., 2005), with application of the wise use principle as advocated by European legislation.”
Effects of biological, economic and management factors on tuna and billfish stock status (2017, background): “negatively affected food security, fishing-dependent communities, and marine ecosystems 72 globally (Scheffer et al. 2005).”
Challenges for freshwater invertebrate conservation (2006, background): “Last, harvest of fish, other vertebrates, or plants may have strong cascading effects on freshwater invertebrates, as has been described for marine fisheries (Scheffer et al. 2005).”
Tracking apex marine predator movements in a dynamic ocean (2011, background): “Large marine predators are important top consumers in marine ecosystems, and their depletion can have cascading effects on lower trophic levels in both coastal and open-ocean water”
Predicting ecological consequences of marine top predator declines. (2008, background): “Declines in top predator abundance should release mesoconsumers from predation and indirectly increase the mortality rate of resource species [5, 19 ].”
