Increased mortality from fishing is expected to favor faster life histories, realized through
earlier maturation, increased reproductive investment, and reduced postmaturation growth …

Body size acts as a proxy for many fitness-related traits. Body size is also subject to
directional selection from various anthropogenic stressors such as increasing water …

Evidence is accumulating that many marine ectotherms are undergoing rapid changes in
their life‐history characteristics. These changes have been variously attributed to fisheries …

Size‐selective harvesting in commercial fisheries can induce rapid changes in biological
traits. While experimental and wild harvested populations often exhibit clear shifts in body …

Harvesting wild populations may contrast or reinforce natural agents of selection and
potentially cause evolutionary changes in life‐history traits such as growth and maturation …

A number of theoretical models, experimental studies and time‐series studies of wild fish
have explored the presence and magnitude of fisheries‐induced evolution (FIE). While most …

Projet Lac was a large project conducted by Eawag and the University of Bern to
quantitatively survey, for the first time, whole-lake fish communities in the large and deep …

Fish species diversity can be lost through interacting stressors including habitat loss,
stocking and overfishing. Although a multitude of stressors have played a role in the global …

Animals show among‐individual variation in behaviors, including migration behaviors,
which are often repeatable across time periods and contexts, commonly termed …

Identification of ecologically mediated mechanisms that drive population dynamical changes
in fish communities and polymorphic fish stocks such as those of whitefish, Coregonus …
