  abstract = {{D}etermining the form of key predator-prey relationships is critical for understanding marine ecosystem dynamics. {U}sing a comprehensive global database, we quantified the effect of fluctuations in food abundance on seabird breeding success. {W}e identified a threshold in prey (fish and krill, termed "forage fish") abundance below which seabirds experience consistently reduced and more variable productivity. {T}his response was common to all seven ecosystems and 14 bird species examined within the {A}tlantic, {P}acific, and {S}outhern {O}ceans. {T}he threshold approximated one-third of the maximum prey biomass observed in long-term studies. {T}his provides an indicator of the minimal forage fish biomass needed to sustain seabird productivity over the long term.},
