Twenty-three unsolved problems in hydrology (UPH) – a community perspective
2019
This paper is the outcome of a community initiative to identify major unsolved scientific problems in hydrology motivated by a need for stronger harmonisation of research efforts. The procedure involved a public consultation through online media, followed by two workshops through which a large number of potential science questions were collated, prioritised, and synthesised. In spite of the diversity of the participants (230 scientists in total), the process revealed much about community priorities and the state of our science: a preference for continuity in research questions rather than radical departures or redirections from past and current work. Questions remain focused on the process-…

Figure S4 from Species' ecological functionality alters the outcome of fish stocking success predicted by a food-web model

Changes in the adult whitefish and perch biomasses in response to increased whitefish (Wht300; black) and perch stocking (Wht300+Per50; red) compared to the whitefish baseline (Wht200; gray) under Fmax = 0.4 (10% lower fishing pressure than in the main text), Fmax = 0.5 (fishing pressure in the main text), and under Fmax = 0.6 (10% higher fishing pressure than in the main text). Dashed lines indicate the time point when fishing was introduced to the simulations.

Nursery areas are fundamental for the success of many marine species, particularly for large, slow-growing taxa with low fecundity and high age of maturity. Here, we examine the population size-class structure of the extinct gigantic shark Otodus megalodon in a newly described middle Miocene locality from Northeastern Spain, as well as in eight previously known formations (Temblor, Calvert, Pisco, Gatun, Chucunaque, Bahía Inglesa, Yorktown and Bone Valley). In all cases, body lengths of all individuals were inferred from dental parameters and the size-class structure was estimated from Kernel probability density functions and Gaussian mixture models. Our analyses support the presence of fiv…

Genetic variation in defence against parasite infections is fundamental for host–parasite evolution. The overall level of defence of a host individual or population includes mechanisms that reduce parasite exposure (avoidance), establishment (resistance) or pathogenicity (tolerance). However, how these traits operate and evolve in concert is not well understood. Here, we investigated genetic variation in and associations between avoidance, resistance and tolerance in a natural host–parasite system. Replicated populations of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and sea trout (an anadromous form of brown trout, Salmo trutta) were raised under common garden conditions and infected with the eye fluke …

Changes in the adult whitefish and perch catches (as biomass densities) in response to increased whitefish (Wht300; black) and perch stocking (Wht300+Per50; red) compared to the whitefish baseline (Wht200; gray) during the 100 year fishing period.
ESM - Material and Methods from Species' ecological functionality alters the outcome of fish stocking success predicted by a food-web model
2018
Fish stocking is used worldwide in conservation and management, but its effects on food-web dynamics and ecosystem stability are poorly known. To better understand these effects and predict the outcomes of stocking, we used an empirically validated network model of a well-studied lake ecosystem. We simulate two stocking scenarios with two native fish species valuable for fishing. In the first scenario, we stock planktivorous fish (whitefish) larvae in the ecosystem. This leads to a 1% increase in adult whitefish biomasses and decreases the biomasses of the top predator (perch). In the second scenario, we also stock perch larvae in the ecosystem. This decreases the planktivorous whitefish an…
