Species diversity, taxonomy and distribution of Chondrichthyes in the Mediterranean and Black Sea (2020, background): “…reconstruct their population abundance and distribution baselines by collecting and analyzing more historical information on their occurrence in the region and data on the intensity and distribution of current and historical Mediterranean fisheries (McClenachan et al. 2012; Ferretti et al. 2014).”
Filling historical data gaps to foster solutions in marine conservation (2015, background): “McClenachan et al. (2012b) documented a link between data and conservation action for marine species; less charismatic groups of species have greater data deficiencies, whichmay be perceived as a lack of risk and can translate to a lack of conservation action.”
ICES meets marine historical ecology: placing the history of fish and fisheries in current policy context (2016, background): “sciences that brings a systematic, long-term perspective to the study of interactions between human society and the seas and oceans (Jackson et al., 2001; Holm et al., 2010; McClenachan et al., 2012; Thurstan, 2013; Schwerdtner Máñez et al., 2014).”
