Binary dietary responses of northern gannets Sula bassana indicate changing food web and oceanographic conditions (2007, background): “For instance, broad-scale biological shifts are driven at times by radical state changes (abundance versus scarcity) exhibited by focal forage species that fuel large vertebrate food webs (Chavez et al. 2003).”
Direct experimental evidence for alternative stable states: a review (2005, background): “Such behaviour can e.g. describe dynamics like the regular spruce-budworm outbreak in boreal forests (Ludwig et al. 1978) or may be behind the oscillatory behaviour of the North Pacific reported by Chavez et al. (2003).”
Environmental variability and fisheries: what can models do? (2008, background): “…guilds and hierarchical levels of marine ecosystems (Bernal et al. 1983; Lluch-Belda et al. 1989; MacCall 1996; Boyd and Murray 2001; Lluch-Cota et al. 2001a, b, Chavez et al. 2003; Alheit and Ñiquen 2004; Ñiquen and Bouchon 2004; Iriarte and González 2004; Keyl 2004; Perry et al. 2004, 2005).”
The biological response to the 1977 regime shift in the California Current (2003, background): “But the combined landings of these fish have dropped about 30% post-1977 in spite of the limited recovery of the California sardine (Chavez et al., 2003).”
Changes in diet and trophic position of a top predator 10 years after a mass mortality of a key prey (2010, background): “A decrease in pilchard abundance is usually followed by an increase in anchovy abundance in productive temperate ecosystems (Chavez et al., 2003).”
Phytoplankton community ecology: principles applied in San Francisco Bay (2005, positive): “The general timing of these changes is coherent with a regime shift in the PDO and large-scale changes in ocean temperature, regional wind patterns, and biological communities across the Pacific basin (Chavez et al. 2003).”
Multi-species regime shifts reflected in spawning temperature optima of small pelagic fish in the western North Pacific (2008, background): “These large-scale ‘fish regime shifts’ have been associated with climate fluctuations and ‘ocean regime shifts’ rather than local or episodic events (McGowan et al. 1998, Attrill & Power 2002, Chavez et al. 2003).”
State of the World’s Fisheries (2003, background): “catches demonstrate striking asynchronous periods of success and failure of sardine and anchovy species (20, 21).”
Small pelagic fish in the new millennium: A bottom-up view of global research effort (2020, background): “Based on late 20th century fish landings, the paradigm was that anchovy and sardine alternate periodically and that fluctuations in the size of their populations were associated with large- (basin-) scale changes in climate variability as captured from indices such as the PDO (e.g., Schwartzlose et ”
A global biogeographic classification of the mesopelagic zone (2017, background): “influences the shoreward extent of the low oxygen water (Chavez et al., 2003; Chavez and Messié, 2009).”
Production and Toxicity of the Marine Biotoxin Domoic Acid and Its Effects on Wildlife: A Review (2008, background): “These findings suggest that anchovies are a more potent DA vector to sea lions than sardines, results that may have larger implications under the current multidecadal anchovy regime (Chavez et al. 2003).”
