Quantitative modeling methods have become a central tool in the management of harvested
fish populations. This book examines how these modeling methods work, why they …

We compare qualitative predictions of press perturbation response from community matrix
models with those of a range of numerical simulations on the same models. A technique of …

The community matrix is potentially a powerful tool for community ecology. While it details
direct interactions between community members, it can also be used to quantify all indirect …

Fish diets provide information that can be used to explore and model complex ecosystems,
and infer resource partitioning among species. The exhaustive sampling of prey items …

" Laws, Theories, and Patterns in Ecology is an insightful exploration of long-standing
controversies over whether ecology has any laws and how much ecological theories have …

Multiple stressors often act concomitantly on ecosystems but detection of species responses
follows the “single species-single driver” strategy, and cumulative impacts are seldom …

In Colombia, the long-lasting internal conflict heavily shaped the socio-ecological context
and imposed relationships that persisted after the peace agreement was signed in 2016 …

Managing for sustainable development and resource extraction requires an understanding
of the feedbacks between ecosystems and humans. These feedbacks are part of complex …

Data-limitations increase the uncertainty of quantitative ecosystem models and have the
potential to slow the progress of Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management. However, the …

Framing environmental issues in a sustainability context requires that we highlight the
interdependencies between ecological, social and economic factors. Accordingly, the socio …
