Cover image: A spearfisher chasing fish in shallow water in the Mediterranean Sea. New research advances our understanding of spearfisher-fish behavioral interactions by presenting a new model integrating three different ecological indicators (flight-initiation distance, post-flight responses, and efficiency of spearfishers) and providing simulations on fishing mortality and implications for management (pp. 2594–2604).
期刊介绍:
Journal of Applied Ecology publishes novel, high-impact papers on the interface between ecological science and the management of biological resources.The editors encourage contributions that use applied ecological problems to test and develop basic theory, although there must be clear potential for impact on the management of the environment.
