Governing the decline: clam fisheries and the challenges of decentralized management across the western Mediterranean and Gulf of Cadiz (Spain).

This study compares ecological and governance trends in Spanish clam fisheries, finding that adaptive management in Andalusia led to more resilient outcomes compared to fragmented governance in the northwest Mediterranean.

Coastal management challenges in declining clam fisheries: insights from local ecological knowledge in Spain

The paper examines challenges in Spanish clam fisheries through interviews, identifying ecological pressures and governance issues but noting limitations in causal inference.

Temporal seascape genomics identifies evolutionarily significant units in a highly exploited marine resource, the wedge clam Donax trunculus.

This study uses temporal seascape genomics to identify evolutionarily significant units in the wedge clam Donax trunculus, revealing stable population structure and site-specific genetic diversity changes.

Female site fidelity and repeated pairings across years in bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas) inhabiting Fiji waters

The paper uses population genomics to study reproductive connectivity and kinship in bull sharks across different life stages and locations in Fiji.

The biogeography of the stripped Venus clam, Chamelea gallina, in the Mediterranean Sea indicates limited gene flow and shows evidence of local adaptation.

This study uses genome-wide SNPs to show that Chamelea gallina has limited gene flow and local adaptation in the Mediterranean Sea, despite neutral genetic connectivity.

Sex chromosome evolution, heterochiasmy and physiological QTL in the salmonid Brook Charr Salvelinus fontinalis

This study identifies the sex chromosome in Brook Charr, characterizes heterochiasmy, and identifies QTL for growth, reproductive, and stress-related traits in salmonids.
