How different life-history strategies respond to changing environments: a multi-decadal study of groundfish communities.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In recent decades, climate variability has led to significant shifts in the distribution and prevalence of various fish species in the North Atlantic. These changes are well documented for several groundfish species within the zoogeographical transition waters surrounding Iceland, coinciding with variations in seawater temperature. This study analyses groundfish assemblage structure through the frameworks of life-history theory and biogeography. Utilizing annual bottom trawl survey data from 1987 to 2024, groundfish species in the continental shelf waters around Iceland were categorized into three primary life-history strategies: periodic, opportunistic, and equilibrium, based on their life-history traits. Over the study period, these strategies demonstrated distinct responses to environmental changes, influenced by the biogeography of the species. Increased water temperatures were accompanied by an influx of Atlantic and Boreal species, while species richness for Arctic fish remained similar or decreased. Boreal periodic species emerged as the most prominent in Icelandic waters, maintaining long-term stability in abundance and distribution. However, environmental conditions in recent decades have favoured southerly warmer-water (Atlantic) species across life-history strategies, while most Arctic species have experienced declining abundance trends. Opportunistic strategists exhibited the most pronounced temporal changes during the warming period.
