- Impacts of anthropogenic noise on marine life : publication patterns, new discoveries, and future directions in research and management (2015, background): “We identified populations for which a preydemography link was available, and “reverse-engineered” limits for two marine mammal populations (humpback (Megaptera novaeangliae; (Robbins, 2007)) and killer whales (Ford et al., 2010; Ward et al., 2009)).”
- Evidence for density-dependent changes in body condition and pregnancy rate of North Atlantic fin whales over four decades of varying environmental conditions (2013, background): “Periods of reduced abundance of preferred prey were correlated with periods of reduced survivorship and fecundity in killer whales (Orcinus orca) (Ward et al., 2009; Ford et al., 2010).”
- Estimated field metabolic rates and prey requirements of resident killer whales (2011, background): “…salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha; Ford et al. 1998, Ford and Ellis 2006, Hanson et al., in press), is linked to high mortality (Ford et al. 2009) and low fecundity (Ward et al. 2009), it is imperative that we have estimates of daily prey energy requirements for all members of the SRKW population.”
- Species and stock identification of prey consumed by endangered southern resident killer whales in their summer range (2010, unknown): “An additional potentially important factor limiting their recovery is the possibility that their survival and fecundity are limited by prey abundance (Baird 2001, Krahn et al. 2002, Ward et al. 2009, Ford et al. 2009).”
- Social network correlates of food availability in an endangered population of killer whales, Orcinus orca (2012, unknown): “This has been shown for the northern and southern resident killer whale populations in terms of both survival (Ford et al. 2010) and fecundity (Ward et al. 2009).”
