The paper develops a demographic model for the Eastern Hellbender to assess extinction risk from habitat loss, nest failure, and adult mortality, finding that high nest failure rates can drive populations to extinction over decades.

The paper models how size-dependent foraging, predation risk, and environmental factors shape fish life histories and predicts growth, reproduction, and mortality patterns in tuna species.

The paper investigates the effects of morpholino-mediated MR knockdown on glucocorticoid signaling and neuroplasticity in wild ocellated wrasse, finding brain region-specific impacts on behavior and fitness traits.

This study examines how size-based fishing management interacts with mating systems in species with obligate male care, finding that slot limits can reduce yield less than minimum size limits under certain conditions.
