• Trophic cascades in the western Ross Sea, Antarctica: revisited (2015, background): “…that Ross Sea food web models based primarily on bottom-up processes, particularly when dominated by the Phaeocystis-based primary production (Pinkerton et al. 2010, Smith et al. 2011b), may not adequately capture the most important ecological interactions that have a major structural impact…”

• The Importance of Krill Predation in the Southern Ocean (2016, background): “In the last decade, several authors have developed food-web models which provide holistic representations of consumption and production throughout the food-web (Cornejo-Donoso and Antezana 2008, Pinkerton et al. 2010, Hill et al. 2012, Ballerini et al. 2014, Gurney et al. 2014).”
• The Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni): biology, ecology, and life history in the Ross Sea region (2015, background): “Sperm whales, killer whales, and Weddell seals are believed to be the main predators of D. mawsoni in the Ross Sea region (Pinkerton et al., 2010).”
• Antarctic silverfish: life strategies of a key species in the high-Antarctic ecosystem (2012, background): “Among the sparse data are the low precision of the few biomass estimates currently available (Pinkerton et al. 2010; O’Driscoll et al. 2011) and the biological uncertainties associated with the level of separation between stocks, such as growth rates and the relationship between spawning stock size…”
• An overview of Southern Ocean zooplankton data: abundance, biomass, feeding and functional relationships (2012, background): “A key input to mass balance food-web models such as Ecopath is the percentage contribution (in units of mass or energy) of the various food items to the taxon’s total food intake throughout the year, averaged across the area of the model (Cornejo-Donos and Antezana, 2008; Pinkerton et al., 2010b).”
• Developing integrated models of Southern Ocean food webs: Including ecological complexity, accounting for uncertainty and the importance of scale (2012, unknown): “extent to which they are dominated by Antarctic krill versus other zooplankton such as copepods and ice-krill (Euphausia crystallorophias) (Siegel, 2005; Murphy et al., 2007b; Smith et al., 2007; Atkinson et al., 2008; Pinkerton et al., 2010).”
