New research confronts the elephant in the room – the ‘trilemma’ of population growth, economic growth and environmental sustainability – and reveals the vast incompatibility of current models
Abstract: There are a number of competing definitions of anomalous ‘novel’ communities, either via the ‘novel ecosystem hypothesis’ derived from restoration ecology, or as ‘no-analogue
Abstract: Ecosystem accessibility, through road networks, is the main driver of their conditions, with the most accessible ecosystems being most at risk of resource depletion. To date, measuring
Abstract:Whether and how conservation ideas and practices spread can have major impacts on both people and ecosystems. Mbaru’s project examines how people adopt conservation initiatives but also
Abstract: The long-standing paradigm that ecology and evolution play out on different timescales is increasingly challenged by recent studies that show real-time interaction of the two. Similarly
Abstract:Climate change is severely modifying the structure and function of marine and coastal ecosystems worldwide. In the Mediterranean Sea the ongoing warming have been linked to increased mass
Abstract: Anthropogenic emissions are driving global climate change, which is resulting in the warming and acidification of the world’s oceans. The current changes have displayed a range of neg
Abstract:In fisheries management—as in environmental governance more generally—regulatory arrangements that are thought to be helpful in some contexts frequently become panaceas or, in other w
Abstract: Coral reefs are among the world’s most biodiverse, yet most threatened ecosystems. Climate change is greatly compounding local anthropogenic stressors, with many reefs transitioning from
