• Framing ecosystem services in the telecoupled Anthropocene

  Published on February 3, 2016
  Here, we apply a new integrated framework of telecoupling (Liu et al . 2013 ) to systematically analyze the causes, effects, agents, and dynamics of ES flows over distance.

  Here, we apply a new integrated framework of telecoupling (Liu et al . 2013 ) to systematically analyze the causes, effects, agents, and dynamics of ES flows over distance.

• Land surface phenology as an indicator of biodiversity patterns

  Published on February 1, 2016
  With the rapid decline in biodiversity worldwide it is imperative to develop procedures for assessing changes in biodiversity across space.

• Effects of payments for ecosystem services on wildlife habitat recovery

  Published on January 28, 2016
  A study on the conservation effectiveness of one of the world’s largest PES programs

• Brown trout growth as related to landscape and local factors in Minnesota streams

  Published on January 5, 2016
  The objective of this study was to evaluate effects of drainage area on brown trout growth relative to the effects of local factors to equip managers with strategies for increasing the abundance of large individuals in southeast Minnesota streams.

• How to navigate fisheries education and employment

  Published on January 2, 2016
  A group of AFS students and young professionals from the Student Subsection of the Education Section schooled together to create a series of "How to..." documents to help our cohorts navigate the many steps of professional development in fisheries.

• Projected impacts of climate change on stream salmonids with implications for resilience-based management

  Published on January 2, 2016
  Our study promotes resilience-based salmonid management by providing a methodology for stream temperature and thermal habitat suitability prediction.

• Using otolith microchemistry to classify yellow perch as stocked or naturally produced

  Published on January 2, 2016
  Stocking eyed-eggs offers substantial cost savings compared to stocking fry and fingerlings; thus, there is a need for additional approaches to be able to classify fish as stocked or naturally produced.

• How to establish a student subunit

  Published on January 2, 2016
  The Subsection provides an organized forum for discussion of issues relevant to students and empowers aspiring fisheries professionals to become active members in AFS.

• Otolith microchemistry reveals natal origins of walleyes in Missouri River reservoirs

  Published on January 2, 2016
  Our research demonstrates the utility of otolith microchemistry for measuring habitat- and site-specific natal contributions and informs Walleye management in Missouri River reservoirs.

• Synthesis of ecology and human dimensions for predictive management of bighead and silver carp in the United States

  Published on January 2, 2016
  We illustrate predictive management in the Upper Mississippi River System and suggest resource managers integrate predictive models, containment paradigms, and human dimensions to design effective, socially acceptable management strategies.

• Purpose, history, and importance of the student angle

  Published on January 2, 2016
  The Student Angle exposes the Fisheries readership - including students, biologists, scientists, and educators - to important student perspective.

• Effects of historic flooding on fishes and aquatic habitats in a Missouri River delta

  Published on January 2, 2016
  The goal of this study was to examine impacts of an historic flood in the Missouri River basin in 2011 on fishes and aquatic habitats in the Lewis & Clark Delta, South Dakota-Nebraska, USA.

• Trophy northern pike: the value of experimentation and public engagement

  Published on January 2, 2016
  Northern pike (Esox lucius) are ecologically and socioeconomically important throughout Canada and the northern United States.

• WATER INTERNATIONAL -- Telecoupling in urban water systems: an examination of Beijing's imported water supply

  Published on December 3, 2015
  We apply the new telecoupling framework to the water-stressed megacity of Beijing’s imported water supply.

• Evolution of tourism in a flagship protected area of China

  Published on October 7, 2015
  This research applied the Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) model to illustrate and analyze the 30-year evolution of tourism in Wolong Nature Reserve.

• ECOLOGY AND SOCIETY -- Multiple telecouplings and their complex interrelationships

  Published on October 1, 2015
  Even a protected area like the Wolong Nature Reserve for giant pandas in southwest China has multiple telecoupling processes with the rest of the world.

• Meta-studies in land use science: Current coverage and prospects

  Published on September 28, 2015
  Meta-studies synthesize findings across case-study evidence to identify general patterns. In this paper, we provide a review of meta-studies in land use science.

• A new fish-based multi-metric assessment index for cyprinid streams in the Iranian Caspian Sea Basin

  Published on September 25, 2015
  The overall aim of this study is to develop a multi-metric fish index for the cyprinid streams of the Caspian Sea Basin (MMICS) in Iran.

• Comparison of human pressures and fish assemblages in the salmonid and cyprinid streams of the southern Caspian Sea basin

  Published on September 25, 2015
  Our analysis showed that the most dominating human pressure in both zones was land use followed by water quality and morphological pressures especially in salmonid streams and hydrological and morphological pressures in cyprinid streams.
