Use of herring bait to farm lobsters in the Gulf of Maine. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Ecologists, fisheries scientists, and coastal managers have all called for an ecosystem approach to fisheries management, yet many species such as the American lobster (Homarus americanus) are still largely managed individually.

Delayed onset of ocean acidification in the Gulf of Maine [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The Gulf of Maine holds significant ecological and economic value for fisheries and communities in north-eastern North America. However, there is apprehension regarding its vulnerability to the effects of increasing atmospheric CO2.

Complications of Estimating Hatchery Introgression in the Face of Rapid Divergence: A Case Study in Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) [PDF]

Evolutionary Applications
Fish stocking has been utilized for over a century to offset extirpations or declines in abundance of many native species. These historical declines and hatchery contributions have led to uncertainty surrounding whether many contemporary populations are ...

Including a spatial predictive process in band recovery models improves inference for Lincoln estimates of animal abundance

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Abundance estimation is a critical component of conservation planning, particularly for exploited species where managers set regulations to restrict harvest based on current population size.

The precursors of governance in the Maine lobster fishery [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007
Collective action is more likely to occur and to be effective when it is consistent with the self-interest of the affected individuals. The Maine lobster fishery is an instructive example of biological and technological circumstances combining with individual self-interest to create conditions favorable to collective action. The model describes the way

Net negative nutrient yields in a bait-consuming fishery

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
Efforts to achieve sustainable food systems are impeded by inefficiencies associated with the use of agricultural land and resources to grow feed for animals, rather than food for direct consumption by people.

Predation risk and personality influence seed predation and dispersal by a scatter‐hoarding small mammal

Ecosphere, 2023
Small mammals are key scatter hoarders in forest ecosystems, acting as both seed predators and dispersers. The outcome of their interactions (i.e., predation vs.

Effects of forest disturbance, snow depth, and intraguild dynamics on American marten and fisher occupancy in Maine, USA

Ecosphere, 2022
Human land use is a driving force of habitat loss and modification globally, with consequences for wildlife species. The American marten (Martes americana) and fisher (Pekania pennanti) are forest‐dependent carnivores native to North America.

Forecasting the Seasonal Timing of Maine's Lobster Fishery [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
The fishery for American lobster is currently the highest-valued commercial fishery in the United States, worth over US$620 million in dockside value in 2015. During a marine heat wave in 2012, the fishery was disrupted by the early warming of spring ocean temperatures and subsequent influx of lobster landings.
