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

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 …

Aim The negative correlation between temperature and body size of ectothermic animals
(broadly known as the temperature‐size rule or TSR) is a widely observed pattern …

Size‐selective harvesting is assumed to alter life histories of exploited fish populations,
thereby negatively affecting population productivity, recovery, and yield. However …

Around 2008, an ecosystem shift occurred in the Gulf of Lions, highlighted by considerable
changes in biomass and fish mean weight of its two main small pelagic fish stocks …

A close relationship between adult abundance and stock productivity may not exist for many
marine fish stocks, resulting in concern that the management goal of maximum sustainable …

Growth is a fundamental biological process, driven by a multitude of intrinsic (within‐
individual) and extrinsic (environmental) factors, that underpins individual fitness and …

Small pelagic fish are among the most ecologically and economically important marine fish
species and are characterized by large fluctuations all over the world. In the Mediterranean …

Abundances of fish populations can vary over time by orders of magnitude, and five‐to‐10‐
fold variability is usual. The variability is recorded on time scales ranging from millennial to …
