Low mislabeling rates indicate marked improvements in European seafood market operations (2015)
Journal Article
operations. Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 13(10), 536-540. https://doi.org/10.1890/150119

Over the span of a decade, genetic identification methods have progressively exposed the inadequacies of the seafood supply chain, revealing previously unrecognized levels of seafood fraud, raising awareness among the public, and serving as a warni...

Trophic flexibility and opportunism in pikeEsox lucius (2015)
Journal Article
Pedreschi, D., Mariani, S., Coughlan, J., Voigt, C., O'Grady, M., Caffrey, J., & Kelly-Quinn, M. (2015). Trophic flexibility and opportunism in pikeEsox lucius. Journal of Fish Biology, 87(4), 876-894. https://doi.org/10.1111/jfb.12755

The first comprehensive investigation of pike Esox lucius trophic ecology in a region (Ireland) where they have long been thought to be a non-native species is presented. Diet was investigated across habitat types (lake, river and canal) through the... Read More about Trophic flexibility and opportunism in pikeEsox lucius.

Establishment of a coastal fish in the Azores : recent colonisation or sudden expansion of an ancient relict population? (2015)
Journal Article
expansion of an ancient relict population?. Heredity, 115, 527-537. https://doi.org/10.1038/hdy.2015.55

The processes and time scales associated with ocean-wide changes in the distribution of marine species have intrigued biologists since Darwin’s earliest insights into biogeography. The Azores, a mid-Atlantic volcanic archipelago located more than 1...

Three-dimensional post-glacial expansion and diversification of an exploited oceanic fish (2015)
Journal Article
Shum, P., Pampoulie, C., Kristinsson, K., & Mariani, S. (2015). Three-dimensional post-glacial expansion and diversification of an exploited oceanic fish. Molecular Ecology, 24(14), 3652-3667. https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.13262

Vertical divergence in marine organisms is being increasingly documented, yet much remains to be done to understand the role of depth in the context of phylogeographic reconstruction and the identification of management units. An ideal study system... Read More about Three-dimensional post-glacial expansion and diversification of an exploited oceanic fish.

Towards a balanced view of pike in Ireland: a reply to Ensing [Letter] (2015)
Journal Article
Pedreschi, D., Mariani, S., & Hawkins, B. (2015). Towards a balanced view of pike in Ireland: a reply to Ensing [Letter]. Journal of Biogeography, 42(3), 607-609. https://doi.org/10.1111/jbi.12472

n our recent study of the population genetics of pike (Esox lucius) in Ireland (Pedreschi et al., Journal of Biogeography, 41, 548-560), we reported the existence of two main demographic units and showed that these may correspond to two independent a...

Spatio-temporal variability in the population structure in North-east Atlantic stocks of horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) (2015)
Journal Article
Bozano, M., Mariani, S., Barratt, C., Sacchi, C., Boufana, B., & Coscia, I. (2015). Spatio-temporal variability in the population structure in North-east Atlantic stocks of horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus). Biology and Environment, 115B(3), 211-220. https://doi.org/10.3318/BIOE.2015.20

The long-term sustainability of fish stocks is dependent upon the identification of biologically meaningful demographic boundaries and, subsequently, appropriate assessment figures and management strategies. In the case of the horse mackerel, Trachur... Read More about Spatio-temporal variability in the population structure in North-east Atlantic stocks of horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus).
