TL;DR: It is predicted that pelagic ecosystem function in the southeastern Bering Sea will alternate between primarily bottom-up control in cold regimes and primarily top-down control in warm regimes, and the ability of large predatory fish populations to sustain fishing pressure will vary between warm and cold regimes.

TL;DR: Hunt et al. as discussed by the authors presented a synthesis of new data and an assessment of the Oscillating Control Hypothesis, which indicated bottom-up constraints on pollock recruitment in very warm periods.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that the presence of these large carnivores has affected fisheries resources, either through direct predation on larval stages, or through compe- tition for zooplankton prey is examined.

TL;DR: It is concluded that differences in parental behavior associated with greater foraging effort were responsible for a higher loss of chicks to predation on the outer islands.

TL;DR: A model of chick survival in relation to timing of bteeding predicts that when neighbor interference is the major cause of chick mortality, chicks hatching in the middle of the breeding season will have the highest probability of surviving, while chicks raised on large territories will most likely avoid neighbor interference.
