Biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships in demersal fish communities

While the planet experiences unprecedented human-induced biodiversity loss, from marine to terrestrial realms, and from microbes to large mammals, evidence that biodiversity enhances ecosystem functioning is developing. In our new paper, we ask, what are the effects of biodiversity in fished ecosystems?

A trait collection of marine fish species

We compiled 14 traits of 1700 marine fish species on three latitudinal gradients to facilitate large-scale studies on fish traits and functional diversity of fish communities.

Changes in community traits of North Sea fish not similar in time and space

The North Sea fish community has a long history of intense fishing and environmental change. Scientific bottom trawl surveys, which have been ongoing in the North Sea since the 1980s, provide excellent data on the abundance and spatial distribution of fish species over time. But what if instead of species, we look at how traits have changed...

Temporal and spatial differences between taxonomic and trait biodiversity in a large marine ecosystem: causes and consequences

Biodiversity is a multifaceted concept, yet most biodiversity studies have taken a taxonomic approach, implying that all species are equally important. However, species do not contribute equally to ecosystem processes and differ markedly in their responses to changing environments. This recognition has led to the exploration of other...
