ZF_2_09 — Fisheries Science and Overfishing

Fisheries science studies the dynamics of fish populations and the management of their exploitation, while overfishing — harvesting fish faster than they can reproduce — has emerged as one of the most pressing threats to

ZF_5_07 — Upwelling Systems: Coastal Productivity and Fisheries Foundations

Upwelling — the wind-driven or current-driven ascent of cold, nutrient-rich deep water to the sunlit surface layer — is the foundation of the ocean's most productive ecosystems and the world's most valuable fisheries. Th

R_3_11 — Microevolution and Rapid Adaptation

Microevolution — changes in allele frequencies within populations over generations — is the fundamental engine of biological adaptation. Once assumed to operate too slowly to observe directly, research over the past 50 y
