This paper introduces dynamic structural equation models (DSEM) for ecosystem-based fisheries management, presenting case studies and a workflow to guide their application in understanding and predicting ecosystem dynamics.

The paper investigates how offspring size influences population growth rates in rays and skates, resolving a paradox where tropical species have lower growth rates than temperate ones despite warmer conditions.

This study examines whether temperature and oxygen affect body size and growth in fish over time, finding that temperature has a small effect that varies with modeling assumptions.

This study evaluates bias correction methods for Earth systems models and their impact on downstream biological predictions, finding significant variability in outcomes depending on the correction approach.

This study examines the relationship between gill slit height and ecological traits in sharks, finding it correlates with activity, size, and depth.
