Applied ecology has traditionally approached management problems through a simplified,
single-species lens. Repeated failures of single-species management have led us to a new …

Quantitative scenarios are coming of age as a tool for evaluating the impact of future
socioeconomic development pathways on biodiversity and ecosystem services. We analyze …

While the physical dimensions of climate change are now routinely assessed through
multimodel intercomparisons, projected impacts on the global ocean ecosystem generally …

Abstract Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) models are easier to construct and use compared to
most other ecosystem modelling techniques and are therefore more widely used by more …

Recent increases in the frequency of Extreme Climate Events (ECEs) such as heatwaves
and floods have been attributed to climate change, and could have pronounced ecosystem …

Global impact models represent process-level understanding of how natural and human
systems may be affected by climate change. Their projections are used in integrated …

Sharks are considered the apex predator of coral reefs, but the consequences of their global
depletion are uncertain. Here we explore the ecological roles of sharks on coral reefs and …

Transfer efficiency is the proportion of energy passed between nodes in food webs. It is an
emergent, unitless property that is difficult to measure, and responds dynamically to …

It is well known that current equilibrium-based models fall short as predictive descriptions of
natural ecosystems, and particularly of fisheries systems that exhibit nonlinear dynamics. For …
