Size-based ecosystem modeling is emerging as a powerful way to assess ecosystem-level
impacts of human-and environment-driven changes from individual-level processes. These …

Trait-based approaches are an alternative to species-based approaches for functionally
linking individual organisms with community structure and dynamics. In the trait-based …

The biomass and biogeochemical roles of fish in the ocean are ecologically important but
poorly known. Here, we use a data-constrained marine ecosystem model to provide a first …

Concern about the impact of fishing on ecosystems and fisheries production is increasing (,).
Strategies to reduce these impacts while addressing the growing need for food security …

The advent of an ecosystem‐based approach dramatically expanded the scope of fisheries
management, creating a critical need for new kinds of data and quantitative approaches that …

Charles Elton introduced the “pyramid of numbers” in the late 1920s, but this remarkable
insight into body-size dependent patterns in natural communities lay fallow until the theory of …

biodiversity: characteristics of the sector and perspectives on emerging issues.–ICES …

Trait-based ecology merges evolutionary with classical population and community ecology
and is a rapidly developing branch of ecology. It describes ecosystems as consisting of …

Fish are one of the most important global food sources, supplying a significant share of the
world's protein consumption. From stocks of wild Alaskan salmon and North Sea cod to …

Marine environmental management policies seek to ensure that fishing impacts on fished
populations and other components of the ecosystem are sustainable, to simultaneously …
