We review empirical studies on how bioinvasions alter food webs and how a food-web
perspective may change their prediction and management. Predation is found to underlie …

Human cancer cell lines are an integral part of drug discovery practices. However, modeling
the complexity of cancer utilizing these cell lines on standard plastic substrata, does not …

Reproductive Biology of Teleost Fishes is the first integrated review of the reproductive
biology of the bony fishes, which are the most species-rich and diversified group of …

Most research on catch-and-release (C&R) in recreational fishing has been conducted from
a disciplinary angle focusing on the biological sciences and the study of hooking mortality …

While the impacts of high exploitation on fish populations and aquatic ecosystems are well-
documented for commercial fishing, particularly in the marine environment, the potential …

Human harvest of animals in the wild occurs in terrestrial and aquatic habitats throughout
the world and is often intense. Harvest has the potential to cause three types of genetic …

POLICYFORUM some fish stocks will be managed primarily to maximize sustainable yield,
successful management of fisheries-induced evolution will generally benefit from the …

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

The usefulness and relevance of size-based indicators (SBIs) to an ecosystem approach to
fisheries (EAF) are assessed through a review of empirical and modelling studies. SBIs are …

Exploitation of fish populations can induce evolutionary responses in life histories. For
example, fisheries targeting large individuals are expected to select for early maturation at …
