Predators drive community structure in coral reef fish assemblages (2015, background): “Predators can influence the effect that larval supply has on populations of post-settlement fishes through mortality, and indirect effects on intraspecific and interspecific competition (Connell 1998, Holbrook and Schmitt 2002, Hixon and Jones 2005).”
The food limitation hypothesis for juvenile marine fish (2015, background): “…species (McErlean et al. 1973, Blaber and Blaber 25 For Review O nly 7 1980, Riley et al. 1981, Gibson 1994, Levin et al. 1997, Wennhage and Gibson 1998, Halpin 1 2000, Lewis 2001, Wennhage and Pihl 2001, Hixon and Jones 2005, Baker and Sheaves 2 2005, White and Caselles 2008, Sheaves 2009).”
Larval retention and connectivity among populations of corals and reef fishes: history, advances and challenges (2009, background): “Extreme points of view have diminished as empirical examples demonstrating that population regulation falls along a continuum from little or no density dependence to strong density dependence have amassed (Caley et al. 1996; Hixon and Webster 2002; Hixon et al. 2002; Osenberg et al. 2002; Hixon and ”
Effects of invasive Pacific red lionfish Pterois volitans versus a native predator on Bahamian coral-reef fish communities (2012, background): “Early post-settlement mortality rates in most coral-reef fishes are naturally very high due to predation, represent a disproportionately large component of overall mortality, and can have strong effects on adult population densities as well as the structure of reef-fish communities (Carr and Hixon 1”
Worst case scenario: potential long-term effects of invasive predatory lionfish (Pterois volitans) on Atlantic and Caribbean coral-reef communities (2011, background): “Such native predators, including mid-sized grouper, have been documented to be important sources of density-dependent mortality that may regulate local populations of reef fishes [review by Hixon and Jones (2005) , see Hixon and Carr (1997) and Carr et al. (2002) for examples from the Bahamas].”
Increasing ocean temperatures allow tropical fishes to survive overwinter in temperate waters (2010, background): “…supply is certainly an important factor for fish population dynamics (Doherty & Fowler, 1994) (though to a lesser extent where populations are not recruitment limited, Caselle, 1999; Hixon & Jones, 2005) and certainly a key factor for driving range shifts of marine organisms (Dunstan & Bax, 2007).”
Large‐scale intraspecific variation in life‐history traits of European freshwater fish (2006, background): “Journal compilation ª 2006 Blackwell Publishing Ltd (Pauly, 1980), and also biotic factors such as competition and predation (Hixon & Jones, 2005).”
Effects of climate-induced coral bleaching on coral-reef fishes - ecological and economic consequences (2008, background): “…the local abundance of coral-reef fishes, especially during the early life stages (Almany 2004, hixon & Jones 2005). increased structural complexity moderates predation intensity and competitive interactions, thereby increasing local diversity and abundance of fishes (hixon & Jones 2005, lee 2006).”
Role of habitat in mediating mortality during the post‐settlement transition phase of temperate marine fishes (2007, background): “…recruitment patterns through density-dependent mortality, the strength of the effect varies across prey species, reflecting differences in prey behaviour (Booth, 2002; Webster, 2002) and can be a function of reef spatial structure and heterogeneity (Overholtzer-McLeod, 2004; Hixon & Jones, 2005).”
Density dependence and population regulation in marine fish: a large‐scale, long‐term field manipulation (2012, background): “…which are the targets of fisheries (reviews by Houde 1987, Myers and Cadigan 1993, Bailey 1994), these patterns lend credence to the conclusions of Hixon and Jones (2005) that regulating density dependence in demersal marine fishes in general often involves the effects of predation on the species…”
