According to life‐history theory, growth rates are subject to strong directional selection due
to reproductive and survival advantages associated with large adult body size. Yet, growth is …

Abstract Knowledge of the foraging ecology of fishes is fundamental both to understanding
the processes that function at the individual, population and community levels, and for the …

Many ectotherms exhibit striking latitudinal gradients in lifespan. However, it is unclear
whether lifespan gradients in distantly related taxa share a common mechanistic …

Urbanization tends to increase water temperatures in streams and rivers and is
hypothesized to be contributing to declines of many freshwater fishes. However, factors that …

Herein we examine scientific questions related to successful re-establishment of native
deepwater fish communities in the Laurentian Great Lakes, and we (1) propose a …

Populations of cisco Coregonus artedi in the Laurentian Great Lakes supported large-scale
commercial fisheries and were the primary forage of piscivores during the first half of the …

In subarctic Newfoundland, age-0 Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) settle into coastal habitats in
several summer–autumn pulses, resulting in broad length-frequency distributions before …

The Fulton‐condition factor (K) and per cent whole‐body water content were examined to
determine whether these indices can estimate the proximate composition of juvenile lake …

Biological invasions and continued salinization of freshwater are two global issues with
largely serious ecological consequences. Increasing salinity in freshwater systems, as an …

Abstract Historically, cisco Coregonus artedi Lesueur was the predominant prey fish and
target of commercial fisheries throughout Lake Superior, but most spawning stocks …
