ECOSYSTEM HEALTH AND SUSTAINABILITY -- New road for telecoupling global prosperity and ecological sustainability
Published on November 4, 2016
We apply the integrated framework of telecoupling and propose to enhance infrastructure connection, transboundary actions, scientific and cultural exchanges, and institutional innovations within the Belt and Road region. -
Developing future leaders
Published on October 23, 2016
We will discuss the importance of leadership development and action in the context of fisheries and aquatic ecosystem management and decision-making. -
Urban water sustainability: framework and application
Published on October 12, 2016
Urban areas such as megacities (those with populations greater than 10 million) are hotspots of global water use and thus face intense water management challenges -
Habitat Use and Selection by Giant Pandas
Published on September 30, 2016
Animals make choices about where to spend their time in complex and dynamic landscapes, choices that reveal information about their biology that in turn can be used to guide their conservation. -
On the evolution of organizations
Published on September 19, 2016
Like people, organizations—groups of people working together toward a common purpose—come in all varieties -
Chemistry to conservation: using otoliths to advance recreational and commercial fisheries management
Published on September 1, 2016
Otolith chemistry publications span a wide variety of topics (e.g., natal origins, habitat use, movement, stock discrimination, statistical theory) and species in freshwater and marine systems. -
In the footsteps of a heroine: honoring Janice Lee Fenske
Published on August 25, 2016
The Fenske Fellowship is a recruitment award offered through the Dept. of Fisheries and Wildlife at Michigan State University that provides financial support for students to integrate fisheries management experiences into their graduate research programs. -
Variation of soil hydraulic properties with alpine grassland degradation in the Eastern Tibetan Plateau
Published on August 8, 2016
In this study, soil field capacity (FC) and saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) together with several basic soil properties under light degraded (LD), moderate degraded (MD) and severe degraded (SD) alpine swamp meadow were investigated. -
To evolve, or not to evolve? - that is the question
Published on August 3, 2016
Formal and informal education, along with the presence of good mentors, is paramount in readying developing professionals for success in a changing environment and an evolving profession. -
The underappreciated livelihood contributions of inland fisheries and the societal consequences of their neglect
Published on July 14, 2016
This paper explores approaches that consider the knowledge and perspective of fishers, fish workers, other aquatic resource users, and their communities to augment and improve the knowledge in better managing freshwater fisheries resources. -
Preparing the next generation of fisheries professionals
Published on June 28, 2016
Here we describe six action items that we believe can help enhance fisheries education and effectively prepare students for successful careers in fisheries. -
Improvements in ecosystem services from investments in natural capital
Published on June 16, 2016
We report on China’s first national ecosystem assessment. -
Climate change and fisheries education
Published on June 3, 2016
As climate change intensifies, we believe it is imperative that students and young professionals acquire basic and applied knowledge of climate change as it relates inland fisheries. -
Otoliths as elemental tracers of walleye environmental history: insights for interjurisdictional fisheries management
Published on May 20, 2016
Understanding fish natal origins and movement is important for managing interjurisdictional fisheries. -
Sympatric Polymorphism in Lake Trout: The Coexistence of Multiple Shallow-Water Morphotypes in Great Bear Lake
Published on May 5, 2016
This study examined the polymorphism of Lake Trout inhabiting the shallow-water zones (≤30 m) of Great Bear Lake, Northwest Territories. -
Climate change impacts on freshwater fishes: A Canadian perspective.
Published on May 5, 2016
Here we provide a perspective from the Canadian Aquatic Resources Section on the impacts of climate change to freshwater fishes. -
Fatty acid signatures and stomach contents of four sympatric Lake Trout: assessment of trophic patterns among morphotypes in Great Bear Lake.
Published on May 5, 2016
To investigate diet partitioning as a potential explanatory mechanism for this diversification, we assessed trophic characteristics and relationships among four sympatric shallow‐water morphs of Lake Trout via analyses of fatty acids and stomach contents. -
Life-history variation among four shallow-water morphotypes of Lake Trout from Great Bear Lake, NT.
Published on May 5, 2016
Phenotypic variation within populations is common in many salmonids, especially when inhabiting northern postglacial systems. -
Evolution and origin of sympatric shallow-water morphotypes of Lake Trout, Salvelinus namaycush, in Canada's Great Bear Lake
Published on May 5, 2016
Here, we assess microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA variation among Lake Trout from the five distinct arms of GBL, and also from locations outside of this system to evaluate hypotheses concerning the evolution of morphological variation in this species. -
Influences of environmental variation on anadromous Arctic charr from the Hornaday River, NWT.
Published on May 5, 2016
In this study, associations were found between temporal environmental variation and Arctic charr length- and weight-based growth using data from fish captured in the Hornaday River fishery.
