Climate change may lead to phenological mismatches, where the timing of critical events
between interacting species becomes desynchronized, with potential negative …

The timing of recurring biological and seasonal environmental events is changing on a
global scale relative to temperature and other climate drivers. This study considers the Gulf …

Tactics of resource use for reproduction are an important feature of life-history strategies. A
distinction is made between 'capital'breeders, which finance reproduction using stored …

In high-latitude marine environments, primary producers and their consumers show
seasonal peaks of abundance in response to annual light cycle, water column stability and …

In a warming climate, differential shifts in the seasonal timing of predators and prey have
been suggested to lead to trophic “mismatches” that decouple primary, secondary and …

Sustainable fishery practices require accurate predictions of fish recruitment—the
abundance of a new year class entering a fishery. A key driver of recruitment is the impact …

The life cycle of most benthic marine species includes a planktonic larval stage. Movement,
largely by ocean currents, and survival during this stage drive patterns of variability and long …

In the Wadden Sea, annual recruitment in the major bivalve species is mostly successful in
summers following severe winters, whereas it usually fails after mild winters. On the basis of …

Abstract Knowledge of reproductive traits in exploited marine populations is crucial for their
management and conservation. The maturity status in fish is usually assigned by traditional …

A key process affecting variation in the recruitment of fish into fisheries is the spatio-temporal
overlap between prey and predator (match-mismatch hypothesis, MMH). The Northeast …
