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 …

We are facing a biodiversity crisis at the same time as we are acquiring an unprecedented
view of the world's biodiversity. Vast new datasets (eg, species distributions, traits …

Climate change and resource exploitation have been shown to modify the importance of
bottom-up and top-down forces in ecosystems. However, the resulting pattern of trophic …

The implementation of ecosystem management requires ecosystem modelling within the
context of a natural resource management process. Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) is the most …

Historical harvesting pushed many whale species to the brink of extinction. Although most
Southern Hemisphere populations are slowly recovering, the influence of future climate …

Climate change is driving a pervasive global redistribution of the planet's species. Species
redistribution poses new questions for the study of ecosystems, conservation science and …

In response to growing demand for ecosystem‐level risk assessment in biodiversity
conservation, and rapid proliferation of locally tailored protocols, the IUCN recently …

Recent developments in global dynamical climate prediction systems have allowed for
skillful predictions of climate variables relevant to living marine resources (LMRs) at a scale …

The advent of an ecosystem‐based approach dramatically expanded the scope of fisheries
management, creating a critical need for new kinds of data and quantitative approaches that …

Executive Summary The IUCN Red List of Ecosystems is a global framework for monitoring
the status of ecosystems. It is part of the growing toolbox for assessing risks to biodiversity …
