What climate adaptation can learn from evolutionary adaptation
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Evolutionary and climate adaptation both describe how complex systems respond to environmental change, either via natural selection or deliberate human choices. Although adaptation in both contexts is expected to produce favorable outcomes, it can also result in maladaptation—ineffective, unintended, or harmful outcomes. As an emerging area of

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The twaite shad (A. fallax), an anadromous fish species belonging to the Clupeidae family, has experienced population declines throughout Europe. This decline is attributable to a range of anthropogenic pressures, including migration barriers, environmental pollution, habitat degradation, predation by invasive species and unsustainable fishing
