Change in behaviour is usually the first response to human‐induced environmental change
and key for determining whether a species adapts to environmental change or becomes …

Harvest of fish and wildlife, both commercial and recreational, is a selective force that can
induce evolutionary changes to life history and behavior. Naturally selective forces may …

Fisheries are selective, capturing fish based on their body size, behaviour, life stage, or
location. Over time, if harvest pressure is strong enough and variation in traits heritable …

There is increasing evidence that intense fishing pressure is not only depleting fish stocks
but also causing evolutionary changes to fish populations. In particular, body size and …

In passively operated fishing gear, boldness‐related behaviors should fundamentally affect
the vulnerability of individual fish and thus be under fisheries selection. To test this …

Nests are the key elements of the reproductive repertoire of several fish species.
Understanding the physiological aspects behind their nesting behaviour is imperative to …

In a landscape of fear, humans are altering key behaviours of wild-living animals, including
those related to foraging, reproduction, and survival. When exposed to potentially lethal …

Policy development and management decisions should be based upon the best available
evidence. In recent years, approaches to evidence synthesis, originating in the medical …

Competitive interactions between marine mammals and fisheries represent some of the
most complex challenges in marine resource management worldwide. The development of …

Fish that strike angling lures often have a set of characteristics that predispose them to
capture. Vulnerable fish may then be removed from a population, either through harvest or …
