The paper shows that demographic stochasticity can cause population variability even in large populations when reproductive success is uneven, linking genetic measures to population dynamics.

The paper develops a framework to estimate spawning events using genomic and otolith data, showing that genomic methods outperform naive counts in estimating clutch numbers.

This study identifies three genetic groups in Pacific cod in Japanese waters using SNPs and shows that outlier SNPs improve stock identification accuracy.

The paper develops a theoretical framework linking the effective number of breeders to demographic stochasticity in iteroparous species, showing how Nb can amplify environmental variance and increase extinction risk.
