Limited data, and the requirement to provide science-based advice for exploited
populations, have led to the development of statistical methods that combine several …

This paper provides an overview of the modelling process using generalized linear models
(GLMs), generalized additive models (GAMs) and generalized linear mixed models …

Recent shifts in the geographic distribution of marine species have been linked to shifts in
preferred thermal habitats. These shifts in distribution have already posed challenges for …

Fisheries scientists provide stock, ecosystem, habitat, and climate assessments to support
interdisplinary fisheries management in the US and worldwide. These assessment activities …

Landslide susceptibility maps are vital tools used by decision-makers to adopt mitigation
strategies for future calamities. In this context, research on landslide susceptibility modelling …

Networks of citizen scientists (CS) have the potential to observe biodiversity and species
distributions at global scales. Yet the adoption of such datasets in conservation science may …

Ocean eddies are coherent, rotating features that can modulate pelagic ecosystems across
many trophic levels. These mesoscale features, which are ubiquitous at mid-latitudes, may …

Despite being one of the most common pieces of information used in assessing the status of
fish stocks, relative abundance indices based on catch per unit effort (cpue) data are …

Groupers are a valuable fishery resource of reef ecosystems and are among those species
most vulnerable to fishing pressure because of life history characteristics including longevity …

The mountainous watersheds are increasingly challenged with extreme erosions and
devastating floods due to climate change and human interventions. Hazard map** is …
