Trends in abundance indices derived from commercial fisheries for priority marine stocks in the Azores

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 103, Issue 4, Page 815-827, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Large‐scale assessments of fish and shellfish populations may be valuable for identifying the impacts of fishing pressure on stocks, but they are rarely possible due to a lack of long‐term datasets. In this study, a two‐part mixed‐effect model for lognormal data was used to obtain historical abundance indices for 16 priority fish and shellfish

A holistic and comprehensive data approach validates the distribution of the critically endangered flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius)

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 103, Issue 3, Page 516-528, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Morphological similarities between skates of the genus Dipturus in the north‐eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean have resulted in longstanding confusion, misidentification and misreporting. Current evidence indicates that the common skate is best explained as two species, the flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) and the common blue skate (D ...

Spatio‐temporal dynamics of the common skate species complex: Evidence of increasing abundance

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 11, Page 2403-2415, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim The critically endangered common skate species complex is a large‐bodied and long‐lived batoid, which has experienced local extirpations and population declines over the past century mainly due to overfishing. Due to its decline, fisheries management measures were introduced to prevent further decline and fragmentation of populations.

Using Dynamic Ocean Color Provinces to Elucidate Drivers of North Sea Hydrography and Ecology

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 126, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021
Abstract Ocean biogeochemical provinces have historically been used to characterize regions of similar biogeography, allowing for large‐scale comparisons and the definition of possible management units. Recent studies have shown that ocean color (OC) may be used as a proxy for a range of physical and biological parameters, allowing for a more direct ...

Toward a better understanding of fish‐based contribution to ocean carbon flux

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 66, Issue 5, Page 1639-1664, May 2021., 2021
Abstract Fishes are the dominant vertebrates in the ocean, yet we know little of their contribution to carbon export flux at regional to global scales. We synthesize the existing information on fish‐based carbon flux in coastal and pelagic waters, identify gaps and challenges in measuring this flux and approaches to address them, and recommend research

Research Gaps and Challenges in the Conservation and Use of North American Wild Lettuce Germplasm

Crop Science, Volume 59, Issue 6, Page 2337-2356, November-December 2019., 2019
ABSTRACT The North American crop wild relatives (CWR) of lettuce (Lactuca L.) represent an underexplored pool of genetic diversity of potential value to breeding programs. The 10 species belong to three different groups: a native clade including at least six allotetraploid species [L. biennis (Moench) Fernald, L. canadensis L., L. floridana (L.) Gaertn.

BioTIME: A database of biodiversity time series for the Anthropocene

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 27, Issue 7, Page 760-786, July 2018., 2018
Abstract Motivation The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate temporal trends in biodiversity within and amongst assemblages using a broad range of metrics.

Moderators of Organic Matter Decomposition in Portuguese Streams: A Field Study and Literature Review

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Organic matter decomposition is a fundamental ecosystem process in streams, which have a large aquatic‐terrestrial interface. The sensitivity of organic matter decomposition to changes in environmental conditions promoted by human activities is relatively well understood at large and local scales.

Integrating Aegean Last Interglacial faunas into the Mediterranean palaeobiogeographic framework: New evidence from Karpathos (Greece)

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 80-98, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The Last Interglacial (LIG) or Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e, spanning 129 to 116 kyrs ago, is recognised as one of the warmest periods in the Quaternary, with global sea surface temperatures (SSTs) 1°C–2°C higher than today, sea levels 5–10 m above the current level and biogeographical range expansion of specific tropical species into the ...

Atmospheric Pressure Rivalry Between the Arctic and Northern Pacific: Implications for Alaskan Climate Variability

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 44, Issue 15, Page 5339-5357, 15 December 2024.
The recent phase of decadal mode of variability in the Pacific Arctic Region is dominated by the North Pacific Aleutian Low and is associated with the Pacification of the Arctic Ocean, with conditions favourable for regional warming, freshening, and expansion of Pacific species into the Arctic. ABSTRACT Located at the confluence of the Arctic and North
