Food availability and annual migration of the straw‐colored fruit bat (Eidolon helvum) (2005, background): “Organisms that can exploit variability in complex environments can achieve substantial advantages, such as high reproductive success, that are unexplained by trophodynamics ( Bakun & Broad, 2003 ).”
Latitudinal and taxonomic patterns in the feeding ecologies of fish larvae: A literature synthesis (2013, background): “It is generally hypothesized that an oceanic planktonic environment 352 offers reduced predation mortality (Bakun and Broad, 2003) but with the nutritional tradeoff of 353 low food availability.”
Contrasting spawning temperature optima: Why are anchovy and sardine regime shifts synchronous across the North Pacific? (2008, background): “The background is still under debate for the synchronous alternations, which has been regarded as a paradox in relation to the opposed temperatures (McFarlane et al., 2002; Bakun and Broad, 2003; Chavez et al., 2003).”
Modelling potential spawning habitat of sardine (Sardina pilchardus) and anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) in the Bay of Biscay (2007, background): “, 1981, Doston and Griffiths, 1996), to have a more fragmented spatial distribution (Barange and Hampton, 10 1997, Curtis, 2004) and to be generally more environmentally flexible than anchovy (Bakun and Broad, 2003).”
Vulnerability of national economies to the impacts of climate change on fisheries (2009, background): “Climate-sensitive upwellings of nutrient-rich waters support huge catches of anchovies and sardines, primarily off Peru and Chile (Pauly and Tsukayama 1987; Bakun and Broad 2003).”
Forage Fish: From Ecosystems to Markets (2008, background): “Hereby, they operate at the crucial “wasp-waist” trophic level, where one or more small plankton-consuming nektonic species tend to dominate the trophic transfers, as opposed to the many species involved in transfers at lower and higher trophic levels (3, 12).”
Laboratory investigations on the effect of prey size and concentration on the feeding behaviour of Sardina pilchardus (2007, unknown): “…sardines to feed and spawn under conditions of relatively low productivity, and hence seek out environmental loopholes in predation fields that may not be available to anchovy, which are not able to entrap small prey and have reduced migratory capabilities compared to sardine (Bakun & Broad 2003).”
Phytoplankton blooms: a ‘loophole’ in microzooplankton grazing impact? (2005, background): “At a different scale, the mechanisms proposed here are in general similar to those advanced by Bakun and Broad (Bakun and Broad, 2003) in order to explain the high yield of the Peru-Humboldt current fisheries in comparison with the other Eastern Boundary Current systems (Benguela, Canary and Califor”
Optimal growth temperature hypothesis: Why do anchovy flourish and sardine collapse or vice versa under the same ocean regime? (2007, background): “A further question is why fish regime shifts were synchronous despite the reversed sea temperature regimes between the opposite sides of the Pacific in the past (MacCall 2002; Bakun and Broad 2003; Chavez et al. 2003).”
Distinctions in the diets and distributions of larval tunas and the important role of appendicularians (2010, background): “The reliance on appendicularians might be a nutritional ‘‘loophole’’ (Bakun and Broad 2003) that helps larvae overcome these constraints, similar to the benefit that piscivory provides at later stages (Govoni et al. 2003).”
Variability in the trophic role of coral reef fish larvae in the oceanic plankton (2009, background): “Though undocumented, it has been hypothesized that fish larvae that develop offshore may experience lower predation pressure relative to larvae in nearshore waters (e.g. Johannes 1978, Bakun & Broad 2003).”
