Ecological communities face a variety of environmental and anthropogenic stressors acting
simultaneously. Stressor impacts can combine additively or can interact, causing synergistic …

Body size acts as a proxy for many fitness-related traits. Body size is also subject to
directional selection from various anthropogenic stressors such as increasing water …

Managing fisheries resources to maintain healthy ecosystems is one of the main goals of the
ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF). While a number of international treaties call for the …

Evidence is accumulating that many marine ectotherms are undergoing rapid changes in
their life‐history characteristics. These changes have been variously attributed to fisheries …

Robust assessments of the effects of fishing require accounting for components of fishing
mortality, including post‐release fishing mortality (Fr). Random‐effects meta‐analysis …

Whether intensive harvesting alters the behavioral repertoire of exploited fishes is currently
unknown, but plausible. We extend a fish life-history model to account for boldness as a …

Fisheries-induced evolution has become a major branch of the research on anthropogenic
and contemporary evolution. Within the conservation context, fisheries-induced evolution …

A number of theoretical models, experimental studies and time‐series studies of wild fish
have explored the presence and magnitude of fisheries‐induced evolution (FIE). While most …

Accounting for components of fishing mortality, including post-release mortality (F r), is
necessary for robust assessments of the effects of fishing. Forty-eight blue (Prionace glauca) …

The harvest of animals by humans may constitute one of the strongest evolutionary forces
affecting wild populations. Vulnerability to harvest varies among individuals within species …
