Prey dynamics affect foraging by a pelagic predator (Stenella longirostris) over a range of spatial and temporal scales (2003, background): “Spatial heterogeneity, or patchiness, of physical characteristics and organisms is a general phenomenon in the ocean (Steele 1978).”
Responses of reef fish communities to coral declines on the Great Barrier Reef (2008, background): “Strong associations between abundances of piscivorous fish and their prey have been recorded on the GBR (Stewart & Jones 2001).”
The importance of structural complexity in coral reef ecosystems (2012, background): “There are many potential reasons for an increase in fish density and biomass in response to increasing complexity, including the provision of more niche space to mediate density-dependent competition (Holbrook and Schmitt 2002), refuge for prey from predators (Steele 1999), predators accumulating in”
Diet composition of carnivorous fishes from coral reef lagoons of New Caledonia (2005, unknown): “Predation is thought to be a major determinant in structuring reef fish assemblages (e.g. Hixon 1991; Planes and Lecaillon 2001; Stewart and Jones 2001) and our data indicate that fish was the major food item for large carnivorous fishes in New Caledonia.”
The effects of marine reserve protection on the trophic relationships of reef fishes on the Great Barrier Reef (2003, background): “Conversely, prey availability may limit predator growth (Hollowed et al. 2000) and abundance (Stewart & Jones 2001).”
Using Fast and Slow Processes to Manage Resources with Thresholds (2007, background): “6. This is discussed for example in Roberts (1995), Jennings and Polunin (1997), and Stewart and Jones (2001) .”
COMPETITION, PREDATION, AND DENSITY-DEPENDENT MORTALITY IN DEMERSAL MARINE FISHES (2005, background): “During this latter period, predator treatments remained intact, and strong site fidelity by these predators at this site was later confirmed by tagging studies (Stewart and Jones 2001).”
Fishing groupers towards extinction: a global assessment of threats and extinction risks in a billion dollar fishery (2013, background): “Groupers are ubiquitous predators and, with many reaching sizes of 1 metre or more in length, may play a large role in moderating the abundance of prey species (Hixon and Carr 1997; Stewart and Jones 2001).”
