Henriksson, P.J.G., M. Troell, A. Rico. 2015. Antimicrobial use in aquaculture: Some complementing facts. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA 112: E3317
In their article “Global trends in antimicrobial use in food animals” (1), Van Boeckel et al. provide important insights into antimicrobial use in terrestrial animal production. Although aquaculture was deliberately excluded from their study, some extreme facts on antimicrobial use in aquaculture were mentioned. Here we briefly complement their study with more up-to-date information about the present use and trends of antimicr...

Elmqvist, T., E. Gómez-Baggethun, J Langemeyer. 2015. Ecosystem services from green infrastructure in cities. In: Potschin, M., R. Haines-Young, R. Fish, R.K. Turner (Eds.), Routledge Handbook of Ecosystem Services, Routledge, Oxford, UK pp. 452–468
The idea that nature provides services to people is one of the most powerful concepts to have emerged over the last two decades. It is shaping our understanding of the role that biodiverse ecosystems play in the environment and their benefits for humankind. As a result, there is a growing interest in operational and methodological issues surrounding ecosystem services amongst environmental managers, and many institutions are n...
Donner, R.V., J.F. Donges, Y. Zou, J.H. Feldhoff. 2015. Complex network analysis of recurrences. In: Webber, Jr. C., N. Marwan (Eds): Recurrence Quantification Analysis: Theory and Best Practices. Springer International Publishing, Berlin, Germany pp. 101-163 (2015)
We present a complex network-based approach to characterizing the geometric properties of chaos by exploiting the pattern of recurrences in phase space. For this purpose, we utilize the basic definition of a recurrence as the mutual proximity of two state vectors in phase space (disregarding time information) and re-interpret the recurrence plot as a graphical representation of the adjacency matrix of a random geometric graph ...
Biggs, R. (Oonsie), M. Schlüter, M.L. Schoon. 2015. An introduction to the resilience approach and principles to sustain ecosystem services in social-ecological systems. In: Biggs, R. (Oonsie), M. Schlüter, M.L. Schoon (Eds.), Principles for Building Resilience: Sustaining Ecosystem Services in Social-Ecological Systems. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK pp. 1–31
A major challenge of the twenty-first century is ensuring an adequate and reliable flow of essential ecosystem services to meet the needs of the world's burgeoning and increasingly wealthy population. This challenge needs to be addressed in the face of rapidly changin social, technological and environmental conditions that characterize the world today. Social-ecological resilience is one fast-growing approach that attempts ...
Biggs, R. (Oonsie), L.J. Gordon, C. Raudsepp-Hearne, M. Schlüter, B. Walker. 2015. Principle 3 Manage slow variables and feedbacks. In: Biggs, R. (Oonsie), M. Schlüter, M.L. Schoon (Eds.), Principles for Building Resilience: Sustaining Ecosystem Services in Social-Ecological Systems. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK pp. 105–141
Many social-ecological systems can exist in different self-organizing configurations or 'regimes'. Each of these configurations produces a different set of ecosystem services, with different consequences for different users. Changes in controlling slow variables can cause a system to shift from one regime to another if certain thresholds are exceeded and there is a change in dominat feedback processes in the social-ecological ...
Weigel, B., T. Blenckner, E. Bonsdorff. Maintained functional diversity in benthic communities in spite of diverging functional identities. Oikos DOI: 10.1111/oik.02894
Ecological studies based on time-series often investigate community changes centered on species abundance or biomass but rarely expose the consequential functional aspects underlying such changes. Functional diversity measures have proven to be more accurate predictors for ecosystem functioning than traditional taxonomic approaches and hence gained much attention. There are only limited studies available that analyse the funct...
Verburg, P.H., J.A. Dearing, J.G. Dyke, S.V.D. Leeuw, S. Seitzinger, W. Steffen, J. Syvitski. 2015. Methods and approaches to modelling the Anthropocene. Global Environmental Change doi:10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2015.08.007
The ‘Anthropocene’ concept provides a conceptual framework that encapsulates the current global situation in which society has an ever-greater dominating influence on Earth System functioning. Simulation models used to understand earth system dynamics provide early warning, scenario analysis and evaluation of environmental management and policies. This paper aims to assess the extent to which current models represent the An...
Uusitalo, L., S. Korpinen, J.H. Andersen, S. Niiranen, S. Valanko, A.-S. Heiskanen, M. Dickey-Collas. 2015. Exploring methods for predicting multiple pressures on ecosystem recovery: A case study on marine eutrophication and fisheries. Continental Shelf Research
Efforts to attain good environmental status in the marine realm require decisions which cannot be done without knowledge of effects of different management measures. Given the wide diversity of marine ecosystems, multitude of pressures affecting it and the still poor understanding on linkages between those, there are likely no models available to give all the required answers. Hence, several separate approaches can be used in ...
Tallberg, J., L.M. Dellmuth, H. Agné, A. Duit. 2015. NGO influence in international organizations: Information, access and exchange. British Journal of Political Science doi.org/10.1017/S000712341500037X
While there is broad consensus that non-governmental organizations (NGOs) sometimes succeed in influencing policy making within international organizations (IOs), there is much less agreement on the factors that make NGO lobbying effective. This article makes two contributions to this debate. First, the determinants of influence among NGOs active in different IOs, issue areas and policy phases are examined. The analysis b...
Takeuchi, K., K. Ichikawa, T. Elmqvist. Satoyama landscape as social–ecological system: historical changes and future perspective. Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability doi:10.1016/j.cosust.2015.11.001
Many production landscapes around the world have been sustained through appropriate use and management of natural resources, but many are now facing overuse or underuse. This paper explores future perspectives on the satoyama landscape (traditional Japanese rural landscape) as a social–ecological system through an overview of its transformation. Two phases in the human–nature relationship are observed: before the fossil ...
