Sustaining fisheries yields over evolutionary time scalesDavid O Conover
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...
The covariance between genetic and environmental influences across ecological gradients: reassessing the evolutionary significance of countergradient and cogradient variationDavid O Conover
School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, New York 11794 5000, USA
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...
Reversal of evolutionary downsizing caused by selective harvest of large fishDavid 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...
Coevolution of foraging behavior with intrinsic growth rate: risk-taking in naturally and artificially selected growth genotypes of Menidia menidiaSusumu Chiba
Marine Sciences Research Center, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY, 11794 5000, USA
Oecologia 154:237-46. 2007..We conclude that risk-taking foraging behavior coevolves adaptively with intrinsic growth rate in M. menidia...
Spatial scale and divergent patterns of variation in adapted traits in the oceanLyndie A Hice
School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY 11794, USA
Ecol Lett 15:568-75. 2012..Conservation plans designed to protect essential genetic subunits of a species will need to account for such complex spatial structures...
Nonlinear growth cost in Menidia menidia: theory and empirical evidenceStephan B Munch
Marine Sciences Research Center, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, New York 11794 5000, USA
Evolution 58:661-4. 2004..Using Akaike's information criterion, we show that swimming performance decreases with the square of growth rate, providing the first demonstration of a nonlinear cost of growth...
Evolution of intrinsic growth rate: metabolic costs drive trade-offs between growth and swimming performance in Menidia menidiaStephen A Arnott
Marine Sciences Research Center, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY 11794 5000, USA
Evolution 60:1269-78. 2006..We conclude that a metabolic trade-off occurs between growth and other metabolic demands and that this trade-off provides a general mechanism underlying the evolution of growth rate...
The response of correlated traits following cessation of fishery-induced selectionSantiago Salinas
School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, Stony Brook University Stony Brook, NY, USA
Evol Appl 5:657-63. 2012..Such correlations among characters could, in theory, greatly accelerate or decelerate the recovery of fish populations. These results may explain why some fish stocks fail to recover after fishing pressure is relaxed...
High connectivity among locally adapted populations of a marine fish (Menidia menidia)Lora M Clarke
School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, New York 11794 5000, USA
Ecology 91:3526-37. 2010..2 higher in the second year. These findings demonstrate that marine species with largely open populations are capable of local adaptation despite apparently high gene flow...
Rapid growth results in increased susceptibility to predation in Menidia menidiaStephan B Munch
Marine Sciences Research Center, State University of New York at Stony Brook, Stony Brook, New York 11794 5000, USA
Evolution 57:2119-27. 2003..These results confirm that the costs of rapid growth extend over prolonged intervals and are not ameliorated merely by the attainment of large size...
Ontogenesis of gonadal aromatase gene expression in atlantic silverside (Menidia menidia) populations with genetic and temperature-dependent sex determinationTara A Duffy
School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, New York 11794 5000, USA
J Exp Zool A Ecol Genet Physiol 313:421-31. 2010..Our results support the hypothesis that P450arom is involved in female sex differentiation in this species, but is only responsive to temperature in M. menidia populations that exhibit TSD...
Adaptation to climate change: contrasting patterns of thermal-reaction-norm evolution in Pacific versus Atlantic silversidesHannes Baumann
School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY 11794 5000, USA
Proc Biol Sci 278:2265-73. 2011..menidia mimicked the strong, highly seasonal Atlantic coastal gradient, shallow reaction norms and much smaller, latitude-independent growth plasticity in A. affinis resembled the weak Pacific latitudinal temperature gradient...
Maladaptive changes in multiple traits caused by fishing: impediments to population recoveryMatthew R Walsh
Ecol Lett 9:142-8. 2006..These genetically based changes in numerous traits generally reduce the capacity for population recovery...
Tests of bioaccumulation models for polychlorinated biphenyl compounds: a study of young-of-the-year bluefish in the Hudson River estuary, USALawrence A LeBlanc
School of Marine Sciences, University of Maine, 5741 Libby Hall, Orono, Maine 04469 5741, USA
Environ Toxicol Chem 25:2067-76. 2006..Comparison of measured BAFs with values predicted by a steady-state, food-chain model showed good first-order agreement...
Fisheries: nets versus natureDavid O Conover
Nature 450:179-80. 2007
