The value of big old fat fecund female fish (BOFFFFs) in fostering stock productivity and
stability has long been underappreciated by conventional fisheries science and …

Marine fish and invertebrates are shifting their regional and global distributions in response
to climate change, but it is unclear whether their productivity is being affected as well. Here …

Researchers have long recognized the importance of ecological differences at the species
level in structuring natural communities yet until recently have often overlooked the influence …

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

The relative importance of environmental and intrinsic controls on recruitment in fishes has
been studied for over a century. Despite this, we are not much closer to predicting …

Recruitment is one of the most variable biological processes driving fisheries population
dynamics and the characteristics and drivers of the variation differ among stocks …

While conservation and fisheries management are often concerned with changes in
population abundance and distribution, shifts in population age–size structure are …
