Anthropocene defaunation, the global extinction of faunal species and populations and the
decline in abundance of individuals within populations, has been predominantly …

Human harvest of phenotypically desirable animals from wild populations imposes selection
that can reduce the frequencies of those desirable phenotypes. Hunting and fishing contrast …

Restricting human activities through Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) is assumed to create
more resilient biological communities with a greater capacity to resist and recover following …

Reproductive Biology of Teleost Fishes is the first integrated review of the reproductive
biology of the bony fishes, which are the most species-rich and diversified group of …

Human harvest of animals in the wild occurs in terrestrial and aquatic habitats throughout
the world and is often intense. Harvest has the potential to cause three types of genetic …

The observable traits of wild populations are continually shaped and reshaped by the
environment and numerous agents of natural selection, including predators. In stark contrast …

Increased mortality from fishing is expected to favor faster life histories, realized through
earlier maturation, increased reproductive investment, and reduced postmaturation growth …

Intraspecific variation is a major component of biodiversity, yet it has received relatively little
attention from governmental and nongovernmental organizations, especially with regard to …

The interest in fishing‐induced life‐history evolution has been growing in the last decade, in
part because of the increasing number of studies suggesting evolutionary changes in life …

Globally, many fish species are overexploited, and many stocks have collapsed. This crisis,
along with increasing concerns over flow-on effects on ecosystems, has caused a …
