ABSTRACT Fishes inhabiting the mesopelagic zone of world's oceans are estimated to account for majority fish biomass. They have recently attracted new attention because they part biological carbon pump and been reconsidered as a contribution food security. Hence, there is an urgent need understand how environmental conditions species interactions shape their assemblages, contribute functioning marine ecosystems. Trait‐based approaches valuable addressing these types questions. However, biology ecology fishes understudied compared in shallow epipelagic waters. Here, we synthesise existing knowledge traits relate them role survival, feeding growth reproduction, key functions that fitness. Vertical migrations, specialised vision use bioluminescence among most striking adaptations realm. Many interrelated result trade‐offs, which may help selection pressures. While morphological straightforward observe, major gaps exist require frequent sampling, assessment under experimental or age determination. The unique be included management strategies well fundamental research habitat.

Ecological risk assessment when species-specific data are scarce: how trait-based approaches and modeling can help

BioScience, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Сен. 28, 2024

Abstract Ecological risk assessments are legally required to ensure that there no unacceptable risks living organisms from exposure chemicals and other anthropogenic stressors. Significant data gaps, however, make it difficult conduct such for all species we wish protect. Consequently, is growing interest in trait-based approaches because they provide a more functional context-independent basis characterizing biodiversity useful biomonitoring, conservation, management. In the present article, discuss how can support assessment, identify vulnerable representative be used ecological modeling, inform decision-making generally. We use examples demonstrate utility of but also highlight some challenges open questions remain addressed.
