Masterson, V.A., Enqvist, J.P., Stedman, R.C., Tengö, M. 2019. Sense of place in social–ecological systems: from theory to empirics. Sustainability Science May 2019, Volume 14, Issue 3, pp 555–564
We live in a human-dominated world and the pace and scale of changes to the biosphere, from climate change to land-use change, are staggering. Accelerated socio-economic changes accompanying global change threaten the ecological life support systems on which we depend (Steffen et al. 2015) but also the character of the particular places which we care about (Adger et al. 2011). The rapid and novel challenges of the Anthropocene...
Masterson, V.A., Spierenburg, M., Tengö, M. 2019. The trade-offs of win–win conservation rhetoric: exploring place meanings in community conservation on the Wild Coast, South Africa. Sustainability Science May 2019, Volume 14, Issue 3, pp 639–654
In attempts to reconcile conservation and development for poverty alleviation by establishing protected areas, economic values of nature and compensation for loss of access to resources are often prioritized over cultural and personal values. Additionally, conservation interventions in local communities are often hindered by contested visions of sustainability. We explore the utility of place meanings to unpack diverse local ...

Peterson, M.T, Dellmuth, L.M., Merrie, A., Österblom, H. 2019. Patterns and trends in non-state actor participation in regional fisheries management organizations. Marine Policy Volume 104, June 2019, Pages 146-156
Non-state actors (NSAs) have proliferated in number and are increasingly acknowledged to matter for global governance of natural resources. This has generated considerable scholarly interest, but there is surprisingly little systematic knowledge about patterns and trends of NSA participation in global fisheries institutions. This article addresses this gap by studying NSA populations, considering more than 500 actors attendin...
Woodhead, A., Hicks, C.C., Norström, A., Williams, G.J., Graham, N.A.J. 2019. Coral reef ecosystem services in the Anthropocene. Functional Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 6, Special Feature: Coral Reef Functional Ecology In The Anthropocene, June 2019, Pages 1023-1034
Coral reefs underpin a range of ecosystem goods and services that contribute to the well‐being of millions of people. However, tropical coral reefs in the Anthropocene are likely to be functionally different from reefs in the past. In this perspective piece, we ask, what does the Anthropocene mean for the provision of ecosystem services from coral reefs? First, we provide examples of the provisioning, regulating, cultural and...
McAndrews, R.S., Eich, A., Ford, A.K. et al. 2019. Algae sediment dynamics are mediated by herbivorous fishes on a nearshore coral reef. Coral Reefs June 2019, Volume 38, Issue 3, pp 431–441
Epilithic algae are a ubiquitous component of coral reefs. Components of the epilithic algal matrix (EAM) can have a significant influence on coral settlement and benthic feeding by fishes. We employed a herbivore exclusion experiment on a fringing reef in Viti Levu, Fiji, to investigate the functional role of herbivorous fishes in affecting the EAM between different habitat types and levels of community-based fishing restrict...
Maldonado, A.D., Uusitalo, L., Tucker, A., Blenckner, T., Aguilera, P.A., Salmerón, A. 2019. Prediction of a complex system with few data: Evaluation of the effect of model structure and amount of data with dynamic bayesian network models. Environmental Modelling & Software Volume 118, August 2019, Pages 281-297
A major challenge in environmental modeling is to identify structural changes in the ecosystem across time, i.e., changes in the underlying process that generates the data. In this paper, we analyze the Baltic Sea food web in order to 1) examine potential unobserved processes that could affect the ecosystem and 2) make predictions on some variables of interest. To do so, dynamic Bayesian networks with different setups of hidd...
Chaigneau, T., Brown, K., Coulthard, S., Daw, T., Szaboova, L. 2019. Money, use and experience: Identifying the mechanisms through which ecosystem services contribute to wellbeing in coastal Kenya and Mozambique. Ecosystem Services Volume 38, August 2019, 100957
Despite extensive recent research elucidating the complex relationship between ecosystem services and human wellbeing, little work has sought to understand how ecosystem services contribute to wellbeing and poverty alleviation. This paper adopts concepts from the “Theory of Human Need” and the “Capability Approach” to both identify the multitude of links occurring between ecosystem services and wellbeing domains, and to und...
Rosenzweig, B., Ruddell, B. L., McPhillips, L., Hobbins, R., Mcphearson, T., et.al. 2019. Developing knowledge systems for urban resilience to cloudburst rain events. Environmental Science & PolicyVolume 99, September 2019, Pages 150-159
Cities are particularly vulnerable to cloudbursts - short-duration, intense rainfall events – which are often inadequately addressed through conventional stormwater and flood management policy. Climate change is projected to increase the frequency and intensity of cloudbursts in many cities. As minor cloudburst events become more frequent and extreme events more severe, cities will need to rapidly transform their stormwater d...
Hallström, E., Bergman, K., Mifflin, K., Parker, R., Tyedmers, P., Troell, M., Ziegler, F. 2019. Combined climate and nutritional performance of seafoods. Journal of Cleaner Production Volume 230, 1 September 2019, Pages 402-411
National authorities in many countries advise their populations to eat more seafood, for health and sometimes for environmental purposes, but give little guidance as to what type of seafood should be consumed. The large diversity in species and production methods results in variability both in the nutritional content and in the environmental performance of seafoods. More targeted dietary advice for sustainable seafood consumpt...
Baho., D.L., Pomati, F., Leu, E., Hessen, D.O., Moe, S.J., Norberg, J., Nizzetto, L. 2019. A single pulse of diffuse contaminants alters the size distribution of natural phytoplankton communities. Science of The Total Environment Volume 683, 15 September 2019, Pages 578-588
The presence of a multitude of bioactive organic pollutants collectively classified as pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in freshwaters is of concern, considering that ecological assessments of their potential impacts on natural systems are still scarce. In this field experiment we tested whether a single pulse exposure to a mixture of 12 pharmaceuticals and personal care products, which are commonly found in ...
