Both old and new information on the biology and ecology of Atlantic bluefin tuna have
confronted scientists with research challenges: research needs to be connected to current …

Overexploitation and climate change are increasingly causing unanticipated changes in
marine ecosystems, such as higher variability in fish recruitment and shifts in species …

Individual-based models are an exciting and widely used new tool for ecology. These
computational models allow scientists to explore the mechanisms through which population …

Life history theories attempt to explain the evolution of organism traits as adaptations to
environmental variation. A model involving three primary life history strategies (endpoints on …

We describe a discrete‐time, stochastic population model with density dependence,
environmental‐type process noise, and lognormal observation or sampling error. The …

I describe the development and application of meta-analytic techniques to understand
population dynamics. These methods have been applied to a compilation of over 700 …

A central and classic question in ecology is what causes populations to fluctuate in
abundance. Understanding the interaction between natural drivers of fluctuating populations …

Summary 1 Studies aiming to identify the prevalence and nature of density dependence in
ecological populations have often used statistical analysis of ecological time‐series of …

There is little doubt that estuarine habitat is important for some exploited fish species, at
some times, and in some places. However, it is also clear that we do not have enough …

This study aims to test whether exploitation affects tunas and tuna-like species displaying
contrasting life history traits similarly. We first collected information on life history of 10 …
