Movescapes, connectivity hotspots and eco-evolutionary dynamics: protecting the functional role of predatory coastal fishes

Store rovfisk, slik som torsk og lyr, kan spille en viktig rolle i økosystemene langs kysten og har også en stor samfunnsverdi. Ved at de befinner seg nær toppen av næringsnettet kan de ha en kontrollerende effekt på mange andre arter, og på den måten påvirke hvordan hele økosystemet fungerer. Ro...
