Atlantic menhaden ( Brevoortia tyrannus ) support the largest fishery by volume on the United States East Coast, while also playing an important role as a forage species. Managers’ and stakeholders’ increasing concerns about the impact of Atlantic menhaden harvest on ecosystem processes led to an evolution in the assessment and management of this species from a purely single-species approach to an ecosystem approach. The first...

Aim The R ed S ea is a biodiversity hotspot characterized by a unique marine fauna and high endemism. This sea began forming c . 24 million years ago with the separation of the A frican and A rabian plates, and has been characterized by periods of desiccation, hypersalinity and intermittent connection to the I ndian O cean. We aim to evaluate the impact of these events on the genetic architecture of the R ed S ea reef fish fau...

Summary Although the major food‐borne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni has been isolated from diverse animal, human and environmental sources, our knowledge of genomic diversity in C. jejuni is based exclusively on human or human food‐chain‐associated isolates. Studies employing multilocus sequence typing have indicated that some clonal complexes are more commonly associated with particular sources. Using comparative genomic hybr...
