• AMBIO - Recognize fish as food in policy discourse and development funding

  Published on January 18, 2021
  The paper argues for viewing fish from a food systems perspective to broaden the conversation on food and nutrition security and equity

• Spatially explicit quantification of the interactions among ecosystem services

  Published on September 14, 2017
  We propose a framework to map ES in continuous time-series, based on which we further quantify interactions among multiple ES.

• Nature reserve requirements for landscape-dependent ungulates: The case of endangered takin (Budorcas taxicolor) in Southwestern China

  Published on December 21, 2017
  To determine the key landscape characteristics of the endangered takin (Budorcas taxicolor), we systematically surveyed for their occurrence in the Northern MinShan Mountains, China, during 2010–2011.

• Predation by alewife on lake trout fry emerging from laboratory reefs: Estimation of fry survival and assessment of predation potential

  Published on February 18, 2014
  This study tested the prediction that fry showing typical swimming and avoidance behavior over artificial reefs will differ in survival when alewives are present versus when alewives are absent.

• Tsetse fly control in Kenya's spatially and temporally dynamic control reservoirs: A cost analysis

  Published on May 31, 2018
  Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) and animal African trypanosomiasis (AAT) are significant health concerns throughout much of sub-Saharan Africa

• The Four Fs of Fish: Communicating the Public Value of Fish and Fisheries

  Published on December 17, 2012
  Effectively demonstrating the value of fish and the fisheries supply chain they create is as important for the future of our own profession as for the fish.

• Assessment of Coastal Ecosystem Services for Conservation Strategies in South Korea

  Published on August 13, 2015
  As cultural ecosystem services are evenly distributed throughout coastal areas of South Korea, decision makers may employ them to improve the conditions of coastal wetlands outside of protected areas.

• Exploratory coral reef assessment of the offshore islands of the Egyptian Red Sea

  Published on November 11, 2014
  An exploratory survey of five offshore islands in the Egyptian Red Sea has been undertaken to evaluate the importance of natural resources in terms of biodiversity and serve as baseline study.

• The influence of land cover composition and groundwater on thermal habitat availability for brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis) populations in the United States of America

  Published on January 1, 2010
  Brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis) is a sentinel fish species that requires clean, cold water habitats generally resulting from landscapes that allow for surface water flows devoid of sediment and contaminants and high groundwater discharge of cold water

• JOURNAL FOR NATURE CONSERVATION - Identifying high value areas for conservation

  Published on June 19, 2019
  Accounting for connections among terrestrial, freshwater, and marine habitats in a tropical island system

• Diet and Prey Selection of Naturalized Smallmouth Bass in an Oligotrophic Adirondack Lake

  Published on July 6, 2015
  Smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) introduced nearly 50 years ago have established a permanent population in Little Moose Lake, NY.

• Artisanal fisheries and NTZs in Nabq, Egypt: effect on gleaned molluscs and reef top benthic assemblages

  Published on November 11, 2014
  To assess the effects of these NTZs on gleaned molluscs and on the reef top benthic assemblages, a survey of edible molluscs was undertaken within NTZs boundaries, and in four adjacent fished areas.

• Otolith chemistry as a fisheries management tool after flooding: the case of Missouri River gizzard shad

  Published on February 11, 2018
  We used otolith chemistry to quantify Hipple Lake’s natal contribution to Lake Sharpe’s gizzard shad population and forecast effects of connectivity loss on the reservoir’s socioeconomically important walleye fishery.

• 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.

• Socioeconomic Factors Affecting Local Support for Black Bear Recovery Strategies

  Published on April 18, 2010
  Successful efforts to recover Louisiana black bear in Louisiana have prompted interest in recovery throughout the species’ historical range.

• 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.

• Forging New Perspectives in Fisheries Science and Management

  Published on July 8, 2011
  Climate change is often the subject of scathing headlines and vicious debates, and is unquestionably a highly politicized topic

• Dividing the waters: The case for hydrologic separation of the North American Great Lakes and Mississippi River Basins

  Published on June 29, 2011
  The one-time, capital cost to separate the two basins is widely acknowledged to be high, and the outstanding question is whether the costs are justified given the significant risk of future ecological damages and long-term economic losses.

• Quantifying human well-being for sustainability research and policy
