Quantifying food competition between two demersal fish species from spatiotemporal stomach content data

The paper quantifies food competition between Atlantic cod and flounder using stomach content and biomass data, finding low diet overlap and no decline in total prey weight with predator density.

Assessing the overlap between fishing activities and chondrichthyans distribution exposes high-risk areas for bycatch of threatened species

The paper identifies high-risk areas for chondrichthyan bycatch by analyzing the spatial overlap between fishing activities and species distribution in the western Adriatic Sea.

Spatio-temporal patterns of whiting (Merlangius merlangus) in the Adriatic Sea under environmental forcing

This study uses environmental data to model the spatial and temporal distribution of whiting in the Adriatic Sea, identifying depth, temperature, and oxygen as key predictors.

Declining food availability and habitat shifts drive community responses to marine hypoxia

The paper models how marine hypoxia affects food webs by testing the impact of oxygen-dependent processes on community dynamics in the Baltic Sea.

Evaluating drivers of spatiotemporal individual condition of a bottom-associated marine fish

The paper evaluates factors affecting spatiotemporal body condition of Atlantic cod in the Baltic Sea using geostatistical models, finding environmental variables explain limited variation compared to spatial and temporal latent factors.

Improved management facilitates return of an iconic fish species

Improved fishery management led to the return of bluefin tuna to northern European waters after decades of absence.

The genetic architecture underlying ecological adaptation in Atlantic herring is not consistent with the infinitesimal model

The study identifies hundreds of loci associated with ecological adaptation in Atlantic herring, finding that allele frequency shifts at these loci contradict the infinitesimal model for complex traits.
