In this experimental fisheries regulation study, we compared the effects of size-selective
fishing according to minimum length limit (MLL, 40 cm) or harvestable slot-length limit (HSL …

Under long-term fishing pressure, the biological traits of many wild fish populations have
changed. Such phenotypic changes include smaller in size and earlier age-at-maturation …

Global temperatures and seawater levels rise; the world's smallest porpoise species looms
at the edge of extinction; and a tiny emerald beetle from Japan flourishes in North America …

Despite the observed distribution of variable individual phenotypes, survival and
reproductive performance in wild populations, models of population dynamics often focus on …

Captive propagation can lead to phenotypic change in fish populations, but the broader
community‐level consequences of captive phenotypes remain largely unknown. We …

Evidence of contemporary evolution across ecological time scales stimulated research on
the eco‐evolutionary dynamics of natural populations. Aquatic systems provide a good …

There is growing evidence that speciation can occur between populations that are not
geographically isolated. The emergence of assortative mating is believed to be critical to this …

Japanese Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus niphonius) is an important fish species in the
China Seas with wide distribution, extensive migration, and high economic value. This …

Selective harvesting can cause evolutionary responses in populations via shifts in
phenotypic characteristics, especially those affecting life history. Brine shrimp (Artemia …

The increase in demand for shark meat and fins has placed shark populations worldwide
under high fishing pressure. In the Arabian region, the spot‐tail shark Carcharhinus sorrah …
