TL;DR: It is proposed that an exploitation-induced timidity syndrome should be a widespread pattern in fisheries and argued that the syndrome can be associated with several ecological and managerial consequences for social groups, populations, food webs, fisheries and assessment of stocks.

TL;DR: In this paper, the state of knowledge on the science and management of freshwater recreational fisheries is reviewed, with the objective of integrating insights from disparate fields such as fisheries science, environmental complexity theory, common-pool-resource theory, and resilience theory.

TL;DR: A review suggests that modern “big-data” techniques are vastly increasing the authors' understanding of animal movement and its ecology, following previous developments in fields such as genomics and environmental monitoring.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a new conceptual framework of "vulnerability" and summarized the major drivers of fish vulnerability, and concluded that fish vulnerability involves complex processes, such as an individual fish's internal state, its encounter with the gear, and the characteristics of the encountered gear.

TL;DR: It is suggested that COX gene expression is not tightly coordinated during cold-induced mitochondrial remodelling in fish muscle, and arguments about the importance of transcriptional regulation based on measurement of mRNA levels of select subunits of multimeric proteins are cautioned against.
