More and more studies are demonstrating that populations of animals‐from herbivores to top
predators, vertebrates and invertebrates‐are limited by their food, and that the availability of …

Overexploitation and climate change are increasingly causing unanticipated changes in
marine ecosystems, such as higher variability in fish recruitment and shifts in species …

Worldwide fisheries generate large volumes of fishery waste and it is often assumed that this
additional food is beneficial to populations of marine top-predators. We challenge this …

The abundance and availability of food are critical determininants of reproductive success
and population dynamics of marine top predators. However, recent work has indicated that …

In the marine environment, climatic changes are asymmetrically altering the phenologies of
species at different trophic levels, causing an increase in the severity of mismatching …

Studies of the fine-scale use of foraging habitat are essential for understanding the role of
seabirds in marine ecosystems. However, until recently, relationships between foraging and …

Results from 2004 field observations, integrated with those from prior studies, allow
definition of a unique “Pribilof Domain” in the southeastern Bering Sea. This domain results …

Colonial breeding in birds is widely considered to benefit individuals through enhanced
protection against predators or transfer of information about foraging sites. This view …

Flexibility in activity time budgets allows animals to cope with heterogeneous and changing
environments. Many marine predators, such as seabirds, exhibit flexibility in their foraging …

Fisheries management across the world is moving toward an ecosystem‐based approach,
implying that fishery effects on nontarget species should be taken into account. However …
