The effects of oil spills on marine biological systems are of great concern, especially in
regions with high biological production of harvested resources such as in the Northeastern …

The importance of survival and growth variations early in life for population dynamics depends
on the degrees of compensatory density dependence and size dependence in survival at …

In high-latitude marine environments, primary producers and their consumers show seasonal
peaks of abundance in response to annual light cycle, water column stability and nutrient …

Commercial fishing generally removes large and old individuals from fish stocks, reducing
mean age and age diversity among spawners. It is feared that these demographic changes …

Individual heterogeneity in life history shapes eco‐evolutionary processes, and unobserved
heterogeneity can affect demographic outputs characterising life history and population …

Recently developed theoretical models of stage‐structured consumer–resource systems have
shown that stage‐specific biomass overcompensation can arise in response to increased …

Long‐term changes in the age and size structure of animal populations are well documented,
yet their impacts on population productivity are poorly understood. Fishery exploitation can …

Predicted universal responses of ectotherms to climate warming include increased maximum
population growth rate and changes in body size through the temperature-size rule. …

We use six decades of catch-at-age data for perch (Perca fluviatilis) and pike (Esox lucius)
in Windermere (UK) to estimate age- and sex-specific population sizes, natural mortalities …

Numerical models of ecological systems are increasingly used to address complex environmental
and resource management questions. One challenge for scientists, managers, and …
