Spatio-temporal dynamics of the common skate species complex: Evidence of increasing abundance [PDF]
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 11, Page 2403-2415, November 2022., 2022 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.

Population ecology and juvenile density hotspots of thornback ray (Raja clavata ) around the Shetland Islands, Scotland [PDF]
Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 104, Issue 3, Page 576-589, March 2024., 2023 Abstract Elasmobranchs are facing global decline, and so there is a pressing need for research into their populations to inform effective conservation and management strategies. Little information exists on the population ecology of skate species around the British Isles, presenting an important knowledge gap that this study aimed to reduce.

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

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 ...

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

A policy-based framework for the determination of management options to protect vulnerable marine ecosystems under the EU deep-sea access regulations [PDF]
, 2021 Vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) are particularly susceptible to bottom-fishing activity as they are easily disturbed and slow to recover. A data-driven approach was developed to provide management options for the protection of VMEs under the European

The historical reconstruction of distribution of the genus Halecium (Hydrozoa: Haleciidae): a biological signal of ocean warming? [PDF]
, 2017 The distribution of 130 nominal species of the genus Halecium, based on published records, has been mapped for the first time in a comprehensive set of marine ecoregions, to analyse their distribution.

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.
