    Marine Sciences Research Center, State University of New York, Stony Brook, NY 11794 5000, USA
    Science 297:94-6. 2002
    ..These shifts were caused by selection of genotypes with slower or faster rates of growth. Management tools that preserve natural genetic variation are necessary for long-term sustainable yield...

    Ann N Y Acad Sci 1168:100-29. 2009
    ..Moreover, temporal CnGV explains some cases of an apparent lack of phenotypic response to directional selection and provides a framework for predicting evolutionary responses to climate change...

    David O Conover
    School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, Marine Sciences Research Center, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, New York, NY 11794 5000, USA
    Proc Biol Sci 276:2015-20. 2009
    ..However, harvested species typically have generation times of 3-7 years, so recovery may take decades. Hence, the need to account for evolution in managing fisheries remains...

    Marine Sciences Research Center, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY, 11794 5000, USA
    Oecologia 154:237-46. 2007
