Trends and management implications of human-influenced life-history changes in marine ectotherms (2016, background): “Studies of heritability of life-history traits in aquaculture, 122 laboratory experiments and wild populations typically estimate that about 20 to 40% of the phenotypic 123 variability is genetically determined (Conover and Munch 2002; Carlson and Seamons 2008).”
Understanding the maturation process for field investigations of fisheries-induced evolution (2007, background): “Owing to the potential longterm impact of fisheries-induced evolution on the yield of fish stocks (Conover & Munch 2002), it is essential that we evaluate the relative contributions of genetic and environmentally induced variation on the observed phenotypic changes (Rochet et al. 2000).”
Fish behavioral types and their ecological consequences (2014, neutral): “…the last two decades have documented that the selective harvest of large individuals by commercial fisheries leads to decreased growth rates in future generations, as well as a variety of other effects (e.g., Conover and Munch 2002; Hutchings 2004; Reznick and Ghalambor 2005; Walsh et al. 2006).”
Temporal and geographic variability of sardine maturity at length in the northeastern Atlantic and the western Mediterranean (2006, background): “However, only four generations were needed for the growth rate of Atlantic silverside (Menidia menidia), a short-lived pelagic species ( Connover and Munch, 2002 ), to evolve.”
The need to understand the behaviour of fish reared for mariculture or restocking (2006, background): “Such changes occur over only a few generations (Stokes et al., 1993; Law, 2000; Conover and Munch, 2002; Olsen et al., 2004).”
GLOBAL MARINE BIODIVERSITY TRENDS (2006, background): “In addition, population declines also cause directional evolutionary changes especially because fishing typically targets the larger individuals and thus selects for individuals that grow slower and reproduce earlier and at smaller sizes (with consequently decreased reproductive output) (116).”
A Review of Catch-and-Release Angling Mortality with Implications for No-take Reserves (2005, neutral): “2004) and protecting population genetic structure (Trexler and Travis, 2000; Conover and Munch, 2002).”
Do Marine Mammals Experience Stress Related to Anthropogenic Noise (2007, background): “However, smaller breeding animals may also have less resources and energy available to invest in reproduction, which could explain the associated reduction in egg size (Conover & Munch, 2002).”
Spawning period of Mediterranean marine fishes (2010, background): “This is because the selective removal of large females by fishing (Sadovy 2001), which are more fecund and produce better quality of eggs (Birkeland and Dayton 2005), decreases the repro- ductive potential of the stock (Conover and Munch 2002) and thus may affect future fishery yields.”
Life history consequences of overexploitation to population recovery in Northwest Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) (2005, background): “Hypothesized genetic responses to exploitation have also included changes to age and size at maturity, growth rate, and fecundity per unit body mass (Rijnsdorp 1993; Conover and Munch 2002; Grift et al. 2003).”
Fisheries-induced trends in reaction norms for maturation in North Sea plaice (2003, neutral): “determined (Conover and Munch, 2002; Imsland and Jonassen, 2001), it is unlikely that the short-term (decadal) fluctuations in growth rates we observed are a result of evolution (Rijnsdorp, 1993a).”
A review of early life history dynamics of Barents Sea cod (Gadus morhua) (2014, methodology): “Through laboratory experiments on Atlantic silverside (Menidia menidia), Conover and Munch (2002) showed that size-selective harvesting can select for genotypes with slower or faster growth rates depending on whether large or small individuals are selectively removed.”
Emerging Issues and Methodological Advances in Fisheries Reproductive Biology (2011, background): “The capacity for such rapid genetic change has been confirmed through controlled selection experiments ( Conover and Munch 2002 ).”
Fisheries-induced adaptive change in reproductive investment in North Sea plaice (Pleuronectes platessa)? (2005, background): “Support for some of these predictions is available from experiments (Reznick et al. 1990; Conover and Munch 2002), but for wild populations it is often difficult to disentangle the genetic response from the phenotypic response to concurrent changes in environmental conditions (Rijnsdorp 1993a; Heino”
Assessing evolutionary consequences of size-selective recreational fishing on multiple life-history traits, with an application to northern pike (Esox lucius) (2011, positive): “5 For example, some authors have suggested that saving large fish by applying maximum1 length limits will mitigate fishing-induced evolution (Conover and Munch 2002; Law 2007), 2 but so far only a few studies (Baskett et al.”
