Diet and feeding intensity of sardine Sardina pilchardus: correlation with satellite-derived chlorophyll data (2008, background): “…enhanced productivity areas and periods with fish yield and distribution, especially when combined with sea surface temperature data to detect areas of plankton concentration (e.g. Hendiarti et al. 2004, Solanki et al. 2005, Ware & Thomson 2005, Palacios et al. 2006, Zainuddin et al. 2006).”
Linking predators to seasonality of upwelling: Using food web indicators and path analysis to infer trophic connections (2012, background): “While the literature provides numerous examples of bottom-up forcing in predator species (see Ware and Thomson (2005) and references therein), here we provide a novel perspective for a predator community within the Gulf of the Farallones (GoF).”
Sub-surface hotspots in shallow seas: fine-scale limited locations of top predator foraging habitat indicated by tidal mixing and sub-surface chlorophyll (2010, background): “At this large scale, the mechanistic evidence behind the creation of hotspots for marine predator foraging points directly to both topographical features (Genin 2004, Yen et al. 2004) and primary productivity (Ware & Thomson 2005, Bost et al. 2009).”
Fluctuations in European eel (Anguilla anguilla) recruitment resulting from environmental changes in the Sargasso Sea (2007, methodology): “This is sustained by general considerations following Ware and Thomson (2005) and based on the available knowledge about leptocephali diet.”
Effects of climate‐driven primary production change on marine food webs: implications for fisheries and conservation (2010, background): “This prediction is supported by empirical evidence that fishery catch is strongly controlled by primary production (Ware & Thomson, 2005).”
Stock assessment in inland fisheries: a foundation for sustainable use and conservation (2016, background): “Use of such rules has been associated with greater success in achieving fishery sustainability than the deliberative approaches (Walters and Martell 2004; Edwards et al. 2012).”
Multi-species regime shifts reflected in spawning temperature optima of small pelagic fish in the western North Pacific (2008, background): “The mechanisms regulating fish population dynamics have long been discussed, focusing on trophic interactions and multi-step processes through food webs (Beaugrand et al. 2003, Platt et al. 2003, Frank et al. 2005, Ware & Thomson 2005).”
Modeling fish growth and reproduction in the context of the Dynamic Energy Budget theory to predict environmental impact on anchovy spawning duration (2009, methodology): “We used the primary production as a proxy for zooplankton biomass206 (e.g. Ware and Thomson, 2005).207 We fitted a Fourier series to the outputs of the biogeochemical model to have208 simple analytical functions of the forcing variables (temperature, surface tem-209 perature and food density).”
End-To-End Models for the Analysis of Marine Ecosystems: Challenges, Issues, and Next Steps (2010, positive): “…of the complexity of inter–trophic level controls in coastal and marine systems (Hutchings et al. 1998; Hunt and Stabeno 2002; Frank et al. 2005; Ware and Thompson 2005) and the complexity of the relationships between environmental conditions and fish population dynamics (Rose 2000; Breitburg…”
Optimal growth temperature hypothesis: Why do anchovy flourish and sardine collapse or vice versa under the same ocean regime? (2007, background): “Similarly, food-based scenarios focusing on bottom-up control in a climate cascade have been developed for marine ecosystems worldwide (e.g., Cushing 1975; Beaugrand et al. 2003; Ware and Thomson 2005).”
Biological communities in San Francisco Bay track large‐scale climate forcing over the North Pacific (2010, background): “…larvae of fish and crustaceans have high growth and survival rates when primary productivity is high, and fisheries yields 4 of 6 are strongly correlated with chlorophyll‐a concentrations [Ware and Thomson, 2005] which increased along the California coast between 1997 and 2008 [Kahru et al., 2009].”
Common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) habitat preferences using data from two platforms of opportunity (2012, background): “Chlorophyll concentration is known to reflect a higher incidence of pelagic schooling fish (Solanki et al., 2005; Ware and Thomson, 2005; Zainuddin et al., 2006), and previous studies describe the common dolphin as feeding on such prey (Silva, 1999; de Pierrepont et al.”
Impact of 21st century climate change on the Baltic Sea fish community and fisheries (2007, background): “As primary production rates are positively related to fish production and yield in marine ecosystems (Nixon, 1988; Nielsen & Richardson, 1996; Ware & Thomson, 2005), overall fish production might decrease if stratification increases.”
Seabirds and climate change: roadmap for the future (2012, background): “…by changes in seabird diet, sometimes (Burthe et al. 2012) but not always (Dorresteijn et al. 2012, Grémillet et al. 2012, Provencher et al. 2012, Watanuki & Ito 2012) reflect changes in diet quality; often the food web change is driven by species abundance or availability (Dorresteijn et al.…”
Projecting future changes in distributions of pelagic fish species of Northeast Pacific shelf seas (2015, positive): “From off the West Coast of Vancouver Island to Mexico, the California Current is dominated by southerly flow and high levels of episodic upwelling in summer, leading to highly seasonal productivity that peaks latitudinally off Vancouver Island (Checkley and Barth, 2009; Ware and Thomson, 2005).”
