Evaluating the suitability of close-kin mark-recapture as a demographic modelling tool for a critically endangered elasmobranch population. Evolutionary Applications, 16(2), 461-473. https://doi.org/10.1111/eva.13474

Estimating the demographic parameters of contemporary populations is essential to the success of elasmobranch conservation programmes, and to understanding their recent evolutionary history. For benthic elasmobranchs such as skates, traditional fishe...

Essential spawning grounds of Scottish herring: current knowledge and future challenges (2022)
Journal Article
Frost, M., & Diele, K. (2022). Essential spawning grounds of Scottish herring: current knowledge and future challenges. Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 32, 721-744. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11160-022-09703-0

Scotland once had the largest herring fishery globally, generating local income, identity, and societal change. Following historic stock collapse, in spring 2018/2019 large herring shoals were observed on the west coast for the first time in decades,...

Population and seascape genomics of a critically endangered benthic elasmobranch, the blue skate Dipturus batis (2021)
Journal Article
Delaval, A., Frost, M., Bendall, V., Hetherington, S. J., Stirling, D., Hoarau, G., …Noble, L. R. (2022). Population and seascape genomics of a critically endangered benthic elasmobranch, the blue skate Dipturus batis. Evolutionary Applications, 15(1), 78-94. https://doi.org/10.1111/eva.13327

The blue skate (Dipturus batis) has a patchy distribution across the North-East Atlantic Ocean, largely restricted to occidental seas around the British Isles following fisheries-induced population declines and extirpations. The viability of remnant... Read More about Population and seascape genomics of a critically endangered benthic elasmobranch, the blue skate Dipturus batis.

Distribution and thermal niche of the common skate species complex in the north-east Atlantic (2020)
Journal Article
Frost, M., Neat, F. C., Stirling, D., Bendall, V., Noble, L. R., & Jones, C. S. (2020). Distribution and thermal niche of the common skate species complex in the north-east Atlantic. Marine Ecology Progress Series, 656, 65-74. https://doi.org/10.3354/meps13545

Temperature is one of the most significant variables affecting the geographic distribution and physiology of elasmobranchs. Differing thermal gradients across a species' range can lead to adaptive divergence and differing developmental times, an impo...
