The importance of survival and growth variations early in life for population dynamics
depends on the degrees of compensatory density dependence and size dependence in …

The effects of oil spills on marine biological systems are of great concern, especially in
regions with high biological production of harvested resources such as in the Northeastern …

Long‐term changes in the age and size structure of animal populations are well
documented, yet their impacts on population productivity are poorly understood. Fishery …

Mass mortality events are ubiquitous in nature and can be caused by, for example, diseases,
extreme weather and human perturbations such as contamination. Despite being prevalent …

Species‐to‐species and species‐to‐environment interactions are key drivers of community
dynamics. Disentangling these drivers in species‐rich assemblages is challenging due to …

The existence of free-roaming dogs raises important issues in animal welfare and in public
health. A proper understanding of these animals' ecology is useful as a necessary input to …

Mass mortality (MM) events affecting early life stages of fish can have strong and long‐term
consequences for population abundance and demography as well as the economic activity …

Identification of key drivers of population dynamics and prediction of rates of population
recovery following stock decline are crucial aspects of fisheries management. The …

Stochastic environments shape life‐history traits and can promote selection for risk‐
spreading strategies, such as bet‐hedging. Although the strategy has often been …

Climate change has large effects on population dynamics of fish species in high latitude
ecosystems. Arctic fish stocks experience multiple pressures with changing abiotic living …
