Population‐level estimates of species' distributions can reveal fundamental ecological
processes and facilitate conservation. However, these may be difficult to obtain for mobile …

Abstract The American sand lance (Ammodytes americanus, Ammodytidae) and the
Northern sand lance (A. dubius, Ammodytidae) are small forage fishes that play an important …

Spatial management of marine ecosystems requires detailed knowledge of spatio‐temporal
mechanisms linking physical and biological processes. Tidal currents, the main driver of …

Sand lance or sand eels (Ammodytes spp.) are small planktivorous forage fishes that play
an integral role in pelagic ecosystems in the Northern Hemisphere. Arctic sand lance …

Diel vertical migration (DVM) in marine organisms is an evolved response to maximize
foraging opportunities and minimize predation risk. This pattern in vertical distribution is a …

The current warming of the oceans has been shown to have detrimental effects for a number
of species. An understanding of the underlying mechanisms may be hampered by the non …

Forage fish and fish associated with particular benthic habitats (eg, rockfishes, sand eels,
sand lances) may be particularly difficult to assess through standard survey methodologies …

Long‐term studies of predator food habits (ie,'predator‐based sampling') are useful for
identifying patterns of spatial and temporal variability of forage nekton in marine ecosystems …

Driven by the necessity to decarbonize energy sources, many countries are targeting tidal
stream environments for power generation. However, these areas can act as foraging …

Sand lance and sand eels (Ammodytes spp.) are a critical component in all northern latitude
pelagic ecosystems. They are primary forage species for marine birds and mammals, target …
