Bots, P.W.G., M. Schlüter, J. Sendzimir. 2015. A framework for analyzing, comparing, and diagnosing social-ecological systems. Ecology and Society 20(4): 18.
Bratman, G.N., J.P. Hamilton, K.S. Hahn, G.C. Daily, J.J. Gross. 2015. Nature experience reduces rumination and subgenual prefrontal cortex activation. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA 112: 8567–8572.
Urbanization has many benefits, but it also is associated with increased levels of mental illness, including depression. It has been suggested that decreased nature experience may help to explain the link between urbanization and mental illness. This suggestion is supported by a growing body of correlational and experimental evidence, which raises a further question: what mechanism(s) linkdecreased nature experience to the dev...

van Oudenhoven, F., J. Haider. 2015. With our own hands: A celebration of food and life in the Pamir Mountains of Afghanistan and Tajikistan. LM Publishers, Arnhem, Netherlands.
With Our Own Hands tells, for the first time, the cultural and agricultural history of the Afghan and Tajik Pamirs, one of the world’s least known and most isolated civilisations. Through the lens of local recipes, one hundred in total, and accompanied by the work of three award-winning photographers, it describes Pamiri food and its origins, people’s daily lives, their struggles and celebrations. In a context where poverty, c...
Carpenter, S.R., W.A. Brock, C. Folke, E.H. Van Nes, M. Scheffer, S. Polasky. 2015. Allowing variance may enlarge the safe operating space for exploited ecosystems. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA 112: 14384–14389
Variable flows of food, water, or other ecosystem services complicate planning. Management strategies that decrease variability and increase predictability may therefore be preferred. However, actions to decrease variance over short timescales (2–4 y), when applied continuously, may lead to long-term ecosystem changes with adverse consequences. We investigated the effects of managing short-term variance in three well-under...
Chaigneau, T., T.M. Daw. 2015. Individual and village-level effects on community support for Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the Philippines. Marine Policy 51: 499–506.
A crucial factor in the success of protected areas and conservation efforts in general is the support amongst the adjacent community. It is thought to be especially crucial for the success of small MPAs. Whilst the importance of community support has been highlighted in a number of studies, it has not yet been clearly defined or explicitly studied. Questionnaires were carried out ( N =166) at three different villages within...
Chalmers, A.W., L.M. Dellmuth. 2015. Fiscal redistribution and public support for European integration. European Union Politics 16: 386–407
This article contributes to existing debates on public opinion toward European integration by examining when and why fisca transfers and public support are systematically related. Drawing on economic and identity-related theories, we develop an test hypotheses about the links between European Union fiscal transfers among countries and subnational jurisdictions, and citizens’ support for European integration. Using a three-le...
Cinner, J.E., C. Huchery, C.C. Hicks, T.M. Daw, N. Marshall, A. Wamukota, E.H. Allison. 2015. Changes in adaptive capacity of Kenyan fishing communities. Nature Climate Change 5: 872–876
Coastal communities are particularly at risk from the impacts of a changing climate1. Building the capacity of coastal communities to cope with and recover from a changing environment is a critical means to reducing their vulnerability. Yet, few studies have quantitatively examined adaptive capacity in such communities. Here, we build on an emerging body of research examining adaptive capacity in natural resource-dependent c...
Conversi, A., V. Dakos, A. Gårdmark, S. Ling, C. Folke, P.J. Mumby, C. Greene, M. Edwards, T. Blenckner, M. Casini, A. Pershing, C. Möllmann. 2015. A holistic view of marine regime shifts. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences 370: 20130279
Understanding marine regime shifts is important not only for ecology but also for developing marine management that assures the provision of ecosystem services to humanity. While regime shift theory is well developed, there is still no common understanding on drivers, mechanisms and characteristic of abrupt changes in real marine ecosystems. Based on contributions to the present theme issue, we highlight some general...

Crépin, A.-S., C. Folke. 2015. The economy, the biosphere and planetary boundaries: Towards biosphere economics. International Review of Environmental and Resource Economics 8: 57–100
Nine planetary boundaries have been proposed, capturing essential biophysical processes that sustain the Earth System and its biosphere in an accommodating state for humanity. Drawing on economics literature, we propose conditions under which remaining within these boundaries is in line with economic policy. We assert that pervasive uncertainties combined with impacts of trespassing planetary boundaries clearly legitimate us...
