Evidence of contemporary evolution across ecological time scales stimulated research on the eco‐evolutionary dynamics of natural populations. Aquatic systems provide a good setting to study eco‐evolutionary dynamics owing to a wealth of long‐term monitoring data and the detected trends in fish life‐history traits across intensively harvested marine and freshwater systems. In the present study, we focus on modelling approaches to simulate eco‐evolutionary dynamics of fishes and their ecosystems. Firstly, we review the development of modelling from single‐species to multispecies approaches. Secondly, we advance the current state‐of‐the‐art methodology by implementing evolution of life‐history traits of a top predator into the context of complex food web dynamics as described by the allometric trophic network (ATN) framework. The functioning of our newly developed eco‐evolutionary ATNE framework is illustrated using a well‐studied lake food web. Our simulations show how both natural selection arising from feeding interactions and size‐selective fishing cause evolutionary changes in the top predator and how those feed back to its prey species and further cascade down to lower trophic levels. Finally, we discuss future directions, particularly the need to integrate genomic discoveries into eco‐evolutionary projections.

Are there plenty of fish in the sea? How life history traits affect the eco-evolutionary consequences of population oscillations
Ahti, Pauliina A.; Uusi-Heikkilä, Silva; Kuparinen, Anna (Elsevier, 2022)Understanding fish population oscillations is important for both fundamental population biology and for fisheries science. Much research has focused on the causes of population oscillations, but the eco-evolutionary ... -
Food-web complexity, consumer behavior, and diet specialism: impacts on ecosystem stability
Perälä, Tommi; Kuisma, Mikael; Uusi-Heikkilä, Silva; Kuparinen, Anna (Springer Nature, 2024)Ecological stability is a fundamental aspect of food web dynamics. In this study, we explore the factors influencing stability in complex ecological networks, characterizing it through biomass oscillations and species ... -
Limited effects of size-selective harvesting and harvesting-induced life-history changes on the temporal variability of biomass dynamics in complex food webs
Nonaka, Etsuko; Kuparinen, Anna (Elsevier, 2023)Harvesting has been implicated in destabilizing the abundances of exploited populations. Because selective harvesting often targets large individuals, some studies have proposed that exploited populations often experience ... -
Exploring individual and population eco-evolutionary feedbacks under the coupled effects of fishing and predation
Jusufovski, Dunja; Kuparinen, Anna (Elsevier BV, 2020)Intensive fishing that selects for large and old individuals can have pervasive effects on traits directly associated with the fecundity and survival of the target species. The observed reduction in fish body size can ... -
Size does matter : the eco-evolutionary effects of changing body size in fish
Ahti, Pauliina Anna; Kuparinen, Anna; Uusi-Heikkilä, Silva (Canadian Science Publishing, 2020)Body size acts as a proxy for many fitness-related traits. Body size is also subject to directional selection from various anthropogenic stressors such as increasing water temperature, decreasing dissolved oxygen, fisheries, ...
