Trophic cascades in a formerly cod-dominated ecosystemKenneth T Frank
Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Ocean Sciences Division, Post Office Box 1006, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, B2Y 4A2, Canada
Science 308:1621-3. 2005..Several cod stocks in other geographic areas have also collapsed without recovery, suggesting the existence of trophic cascades in these systems...
Reconciling differences in trophic control in mid-latitude marine ecosystemsKenneth T Frank
Ocean Sciences Division, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Bedford Institute of Oceanography, PO Box 1006, Dartmouth, NS, Canada B2Y 4A2
Ecol Lett 9:1096-105. 2006..A combination of compensatory population dynamics and accelerated demographic rates in southern areas seems to account for the greater stability of the predator species complex in this region...
The ups and downs of trophic control in continental shelf ecosystemsKenneth T Frank
Ocean Sciences Division, Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Dartmouth, NS, B2Y 4A2, Canada
Trends Ecol Evol 22:236-42. 2007..Such knowledge could be used to produce ecosystem guidelines to regulate and manage fisheries in a sustainable fashion...
Decline in top predator body size and changing climate alter trophic structure in an oceanic ecosystemNancy L Shackell
Ocean Sciences Division, Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada
Proc Biol Sci 277:1353-60. 2010..Size-selective harvesting under changing climatic conditions initiated a trophic restructuring of the food chain, the effects of which may have influenced three trophic levels...
Transient dynamics of an altered large marine ecosystemKenneth T Frank
Ocean Sciences Division, Bedford Institute of Oceanography, P O Box 1006, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia B2Y 4A2, Canada
Nature 477:86-9. 2011..We conclude that the reversibility of perturbed ecosystems can occur and that this bodes well for other collapsed fisheries...
Spatial scale of similarity as an indicator of metacommunity stability in exploited marine systemsNancy L Shackell
Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Bedford Institute of Oceanography, P O Box 1006, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia B2Y 4A2, Canada
Ecol Appl 22:336-48. 2012..Our study adds strong support for using the spatial scale of similarity as an indicator of metacommunity stability both to understand the spatial impacts of exploitation and to refine how spatial structure is used in management plans...
Marine ecology: Spring algal bloom and larval fish survivalTrevor Platt
Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Ocean Sciences Division, Box 1006, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia B2Y 4A2, Canada
Nature 423:398-9. 2003
Temporal dynamics within a contemporary latitudinal diversity gradientJonathan A D Fisher
Department of Biology, Queen s University, Kingston, ON K7L 3N6, Canada
Ecol Lett 11:883-97. 2008..Our findings underscore the need to investigate factors that modify LDG separately from those that contribute to their origins...
