A great challenge for ecology in the coming decades is to understand the role humans play
in eco-evolutionary dynamics. If, as emerging evidence shows, rapid evolutionary change …

A recently documented correlate of anthropogenic climate change involves reductions in
body size, the nature and scale of the pattern leading to suggestions of a third universal …

Ectotherms generally shrink under experimental warming, but whether this pattern extends
to wild populations is uncertain. We analysed ten million visual survey records, spanning the …

Paradigms of sustainable exploitation focus on population dynamics of prey and yields to
humanity but ignore the behavior of humans as predators. We compared patterns of …

It would not have been possible for me to write the three editions of this book without a
double dose of extraordinary fortune: to have been part of the Woods Hole scientific …

In recent decades, invertebrate fisheries have expanded in catch and value worldwide. One
increasingly harvested group is sea cucumbers (class Holothuroidea), which are highly …

Overfishing of large-bodied benthic fishes and their subsequent population collapses on the
Scotian Shelf of Canada's east coast, and elsewhere, resulted in restructuring of entire food …

Species around the world are shifting their ranges in response to climate change. To make
robust predictions about climate‐related colonizations and extinctions, it is vital to …

Ecologists have historically represented consumer–resource interactions with boxes and
arrows. A key assumption of this conceptualization is that all individuals inside a box are …

Humans are changing marine ecosystems worldwide, both directly through fishing and
indirectly through climate change. One of the little explored outcomes of human-induced …
