Growth portfolios buffer climate‐linked environmental change in marine systems Open
Large‐scale, climate‐induced synchrony in the productivity of fish populations is becoming more pronounced in the world's oceans. As synchrony increases, a population's “portfolio” of responses can be diminished, in turn reducing its resil…

Fish Ear Stones Offer Climate Change Clues In Alaska’s Lakes Open
Otoliths, also known as ear stones, are small body parts that help fish with hearing and balance. Like tree rings, otoliths form one light and one dark band per year, creating rings. These rings can be measured to understand fish growth. T…

Global decline in ocean memory over the 21st century Open
Ocean memory, the persistence of ocean conditions, is a major source of predictability in the climate system beyond weather time scales. We show that ocean memory, as measured by the year-to-year persistence of sea surface temperature anom…

Interannual temperature variability is a principal driver of low-frequency fluctuations in marine fish populations Open
Marine fish populations commonly exhibit low-frequency fluctuations in biomass that can cause catch volatility and thus endanger the food and economic security of dependent coastal societies. Such variability has been linked to fishing int…
