Overfishing drives population decline, which in turn drives loss of genetic diversity. Many
studies provide evidence of declines in genetic diversity; however, controversy exists within …

Understanding the processes that drive reproductive success in marine fish stocks is critical
to effective fisheries management. These processes can be difficult to investigate, especially …

Obtaining reliable estimates of the effective number of breeders (N b) and generational
effective population size (N e) for fishery‐important species is challenging because they are …

Understanding the reproductive strategy of an organism is important in conservation ecology
as it directly affects the population performance under changing environmental conditions …

Larval dispersal affects population dynamics and thus the evolution of species; therefore,
understanding how far planktonic larvae can move is key for the conservation and …

Population size is a central parameter for conservation; however, monitoring abundance is
often problematic for threatened marine species. Despite substantial investment in research …

Reproductive strategy and population status are crucial factors to understand species
adaptation mechanism and to make suitable conservation decisions. In the present study …

Understanding population structure is important for predicting the outcomes of
anthropogenic development, harvest, and environmental change on the abundance of …

Advances in genomic methods now enable the study of wild populations and their
evolutionary history at an unprecedented level. The genotyping of many thousands of …

Abstract The Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis Gray, 1835) is a large anadromous fish
species, which is under considerable threat due to dramatic declines in population numbers …
