Genetic Stock Identification Reveals Mismatches Between Management Areas and Population Genetic Structure in a Migratory Pelagic Fish. [PDF]

open access: yesEvol Appl
ABSTRACT Sustainable fisheries management is important for the continued harvest of the world's marine resources, especially as they are increasingly challenged by a range of climatic and anthropogenic factors. One of the pillars of sustainable fisheries management is the accurate identification of the biological units, i.e., populations.

Tracking integrated ecosystem assessments in the ICES network: a social network analysis of the ICES expert groups

open access: yesICES Journal of Marine Science, 2023
The advice the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) provides to its member countries is crucial for the sustainable management of shared marine resources, and the conservation of relevant marine ecosystems.

Patterns and mechanisms underlying ecoregion delineation in North American freshwater plants

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
Aim Biogeographical regionalisations are actively studied in different ecosystems, because they increase our understanding on fundamental broad□scale patterns and can help us in the establishment of conservation areas.

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Diversity and regional distribution of harmful algal events along the Atlantic margin of Europe.

open access: yesHarmful Algae, 2021
The IOC-ICES-PICES Harmful Algal Event Database (HAEDAT) was used to describe the diversity and spatiotemporal distribution of harmful algal events along the Atlantic margin of Europe from 1987 - 2018.

Circumpolar patterns of Arctic freshwater fish biodiversity: A baseline for monitoring

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 176-193, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Climate change, biological invasions, and anthropogenic disturbance pose a threat to the biodiversity and function of Arctic freshwater ecosystems. Understanding potential changes in fish species distribution and richness is necessary, given the great importance of fish to the function of freshwater ecosystems and as a resource to humans ...

A Comparison of Machine Learning and Geostatistical Approaches for Mapping Forest Canopy Height over the Southeastern US Using ICESat-2

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
The availability of canopy height information in the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2’s (ICESat-2’s) land and vegetation product, or ATL08, presents opportunities for developing full-coverage products over broad spatial scales. The primary goal

Multitrophic biodiversity patterns and environmental descriptors of sub‐Arctic lakes in northern Europe

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 30-48, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Arctic and sub‐Arctic lakes in northern Europe are increasingly threatened by climate change, which can affect their biodiversity directly by shifting thermal and hydrological regimes, and indirectly by altering landscape processes and catchment vegetation.

Spatial and temporal variation in Arctic freshwater chemistry—Reflecting climate‐induced landscape alterations and a changing template for biodiversity

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 14-29, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Freshwater chemistry across the circumpolar region was characterised using a pan‐Arctic data set from 1,032 lake and 482 river stations. Temporal trends were estimated for Early (1970–1985), Middle (1986–2000), and Late (2001–2015) periods. Spatial patterns were assessed using data collected since 2001.

First circumpolar assessment of Arctic freshwater phytoplankton and zooplankton diversity: Spatial patterns and environmental factors

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 141-158, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Arctic freshwaters are facing multiple environmental pressures, including rapid climate change and increasing land___use activities. Freshwater plankton assemblages are expected to reflect the effects of these stressors through shifts in species distributions and changes to biodiversity.
