Les oscillations déphasées des populations de l'anchois et de la sardine ont été attribuées
aux changements climatiques. Cependant, les mécanismes biologiques qui causent ces …

The impact of the environment on interannual variability in fish recruitment has proven
difficult to establish empirically, and environment-recruitment correlations have often been …

Recruitment dynamics are challenging to assess or predict because of the many underlying
drivers that vary in their relevance over time and space. Stock size, demographic and trait …

Productivity is a central determinant of population dynamics with consequences for
population viability, resilience to exploitation, and extinction. In fish, the strength of a cohort …

Understanding of density‐dependent effects is key to achieving sustainable management of
self‐regulating biological resources such as fish stocks. Traditionally, density‐dependent …

A paradigm of fisheries science holds that spawning stock biomass (SSB) is directly
proportional to total egg production (TEP) of fish stocks. This “SSB–TEP proportionality” …

Species interactions that play out over large spatial scales are difficult to observe,
particularly in the oceans. The current lack of empirical evidence for biologically meaningful …

There is evidence that ocean warming has effects on the ecology, including recruitment
dynamics, of marine organisms. In association with rising mean spring temperatures in the …
