REVIEW: The management of wild large herbivores to meet economic, conservation and environmental objectives (2004, background): “Sport harvest may have evolutionary consequences such as changes in life-history parameters, as have been recorded in commercially exploited fish, including changes in size and age at maturity and possibly in reproductive effort (Jennings, Reynolds & Mills 1998; Law 2001; Harris, Wall & Allendorf 20”
Estimating reaction norms for age and size at maturation when age at first (2004, neutral): “…in a number of fish stocks: Georges Bank, the Gulf of Maine and northern (eastern Newfoundland) stocks of Atlantic cod (Barot et al., in press; Olsen et al., 2004), plaice Pleuronectes platessa (Grift et al., 2003) and American plaice Hippoglossoides platessoides (S. Barot et al.,…”
Impacts of climate change on fisheries (2010, neutral): “, 2005) and in field data (Olsen et al., 2004; Marshall and Browman, 2007).”
Responsible genetic approach to stock restoration, sea ranching and stock enhancement of marine fishes and invertebrates (2017, background): “Overharvested populations can lose genetic diversity (Smith et al. 1991; Hauser et al. 2002; McCusker and Bentzen 2010) and show shifts in genotypic frequencies, as noted by drops in growth rates and early maturity (Olsen et al. 2004; Hutchings 2005; Longhurst 2010).”
Extreme increases in natural mortality prevent recovery of collapsed fish populations in a Northwest Atlantic ecosystem (2015, background): “One expected consequence of the increased mortality imposed by fishing is the evolution of earlier ages and sizes at maturation (Ernande et al. 2004, Olsen et al. 2004).”
Fishing effects on age and spatial structures undermine population stability of fishes (2009, background): “Empirical studies suggested that fishing-induced age (size) truncation may be responsible for the collapse of Atlantic cod stock off Newfoundland (Olsen et al. 2004, 2005), recruitment failure of the Arcto-Norwegian cod stock (Ottersen et al. 2006), declined lifetime egg production for rockfishes (O”
Documented and Potential Biological Impacts of Recreational Fishing: Insights for Management and Conservation (2006, background): “…that heavy and selective exploitation over decades resulted not just in demographic consequences for targeted and nontargeted fish species, but may have led to detrimental evolutionary changes in some life history characters (Haugen and Vøllestad, 2001; Grift et al., 2003; Olsen et al., 2004).”
Spatial and temporal scales of adaptive divergence in marine fishes and the implications for conservation (2006, background): “Most studies of fisheries-induced evolutionary change deal with only one trait such as growth rate or body size (Conover & Munch, 2002) or age or size at maturity (Olsen et al., 2004).”
Understanding the maturation process for field investigations of fisheries-induced evolution (2007, background): “Changes in the reaction norm mid-point have been interpreted as evolutionary shifts in maturity at size (Barot et al. 2004, Olsen et al. 2004).”
Influence of diet on growth, condition and reproductive capacity in Newfoundland and Labrador cod (Gadus morhua) : Insights from stable carbon isotopes (δ13C) (2007, background): “This change has been argued to be an example of ‘rapid evolution’ induced by heavy fishing pressure (Olsen et al., 2004).”
Evolving coral reef conservation with genetic information (2014, background): “…much shorter than is commonly appreciated (Hendry and Kinnison 1999, Palumbi 2001, stillman 2003, schoener 2011), and significant anthropogenic effects (e.g., on maturation rate or size) have already been detected on the evolutionary trajectory of many marine species (Devine et al. 2012, Olsen et .”
Genetic estimates of contemporary effective population size: what can they tell us about the importance of genetic stochasticity for wild population persistence? (2008, background): “…the context and process of natural selection in large populations may perhaps provide more useful avenues for predicting evolutionary responses to factors such as fisheries pressure and environmental changes (Conover & Munch 2002; Olsen et al. 2004; Poulsen et al. 2006; Hutchings et al. 2007).”
MARINE RESERVE DESIGN AND THE EVOLUTION OF SIZE AT MATURATION IN HARVESTED FISH (2005, background): “…in many exploited natural populations, such as salmon, cod, sole, plaice, and haddock (e.g., Ricker 1981, Rijnsdorp 1993a, Haugen and Vøllestad 2001, Olsen et al. 2004, reviewed by Sheridan 1995, Trippel 1995, Law 2000); evidence that the phenotypic changes involve genetic changes includes shifts…”
