- Abstract:
- This project seeks to develop and test theory linking life histories with population dynamics, making use of the large body of data or exploited marine populations. Theoretical work will include the use of elasticity analyses and measures of population stability and resilience to predict the vulnerability and responses of populations to changes in mortality. Theoretical predictions will be tested with analyses of temporal trends in the abundance of exploited populations subject to known levels of mortality. Phylogenetically based statistics will be used to critically evaluate criteria currently in use, or under consideration, for predicting vulnerability to population declines and extinction. This research should therefore lead to a better fundamental understanding of population resilience, with applications to the management and conservation of exploited populations.
