Spatio-temporal genetic structure and the effects of long-term fishing in two partially sympatric offshore demersal fishes.

TL;DR: The results highlight the need for temporal sampling in disentangling the complex factors that impact population divergence in marine fishes and suggest that adaptation to local environmental conditions may drive genetic differentiation in M. capensis.

Predicting the spatio-temporal distributions of pelagic sharks in the western and central North Pacific

TL;DR: In this paper, the seasonal spatio-temporal distribution of pelagic sharks in the western and central North Pacific using fishery catch rates and a generalized linear mixed model with spatiotemporal effects was analyzed.

Spatio-temporal variation in size-structured populations using fishery data: an application to shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) in the Pacific Ocean

TL;DR: This article developed a length-disaggregated, spatiotemporal, delta-generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) and applied the method to fishery-dependent catch rates of shortfin mako sharks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complex signatures of genomic variation of two non-model marine species in a homogeneous environment

TL;DR: It is suggested that future population genomic studies should expand from focusing on model organisms and/or studying heterogeneous regions to better understand the evolutionary processes shaping current and future biodiversity patterns, particularly when used in a comparative phylogeographic context.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geostatistical modelling of the spatial life history of post-larval deepwater hake Merluccius paradoxus in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem

TL;DR: In this article, a thorough understanding of the migration patterns and population structure of fish resources cannot be ensured without a thorough understand of migration patterns, population structure, and migration patterns of fish.

AD Model Builder: using automatic differentiation for statistical inference of highly parameterized complex nonlinear models

TL;DR: The basic components and the underlying philosophy of ADMB are described, with an emphasis on functionality found in no other statistical software, and the main advantages are flexibility, speed, precision, stability and built-in methods to quantify uncertainty.

TMB: Automatic Differentiation and Laplace Approximation

TL;DR: TMB is an open source R package that enables quick implementation of complex nonlinear random effect (latent variable) models in a manner similar to the established AD Model Builder package, and is designed to be fast for problems with many random effects and parameters.

What is the current total population of Namibia?

This revealed some previously unknown migration patterns and indicated natal homing and the existence of three primary population components in the region, namely the Walvis (central and northern Namibia), the Orange (Southern Namibia—Northern SA) and the Agulhas (Southern part of SA) components.
