Contrasting life‐history strategies of three sympatric icefish species in the northern Scotia Sea
Abstract Comprehending a species' life‐history strategies is crucial to inform effective conservation efforts. Commercial fishing impacts icefish (family: Channichthyidae) in the Scotia Sea, but detailed information on species‐specific life histories remains largely unknown.

Population Demographics of Killer Whales (Orcinus orca) in Western Australia
ABSTRACT Understanding population demographics is crucial for the effective conservation of species. This is particularly important for apex predators, such as the killer whale (Orcinus orca), which play important roles in maintaining the structure and function of ecosystems. In this study, we used capture‐mark‐recapture (CMR) modeling to assess killer

Global Marine Fishery Stock Productivity Under Climate Change
In this uniquely extensive global analysis on the productivity of commercial fishery stocks, a common factor was the existence of pronounced heterogeneity, as documented for 710 stocks in the undertaken hindcast over the last decades. Importantly, both winners and losers appear under on‐going climate change, and then seemingly are equally present ...

The variability in responses to environmental change between populations remains poorly quantified and understood. This shortcoming has major consequences, as variation and flexibility of life‐history traits between populations contribute to the estimation of the adaptive potential, which is necessary for predicting the responses of interconnected ...
