González-Mon, B., Bodin, Ö., Crona, B., Nenadovic, M., Basurto, X. 2019. Small-scale fish buyers' trade networks reveal diverse actor types and differential adaptive capacities. Ecological Economics Volume 164, October 2019, 106338
The importance of understanding how social-ecological interdependencies deriving from global trade influence sustainability has been argued for decades. Even if substantial progress has been made, a research gap remains regarding how the adaptability of small-scale fish buyers, whose daily operations have implications for the livelihood of more than 100 million people, are affected by networks of trade relationships. Adaptabil...
Capretti, A., Ringsmuth, A.K., van Velzen, J.F., Rosnik, A., Croce. R., Gregorkiewicz, T. 2019. Nanophotonics of higher-plant photosynthetic membranes. Light: Science & Applicationsvolume 8, Article number: 5
The thylakoid membrane inside chloroplasts hosts the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Its embedded protein complexes are responsible for light harvesting, excitation energy transfer, charge separation, and transport. In higher plants, when the illumination conditions vary, the membrane adapts its composition and nanoscale morphology, which is characterized by appressed and non-appressed regions known as grana and s...
Kadin, M., Frederiksen, M., Niiranen, S., Converse, S.J. 2019. Linking demographic and food‐web models to understand management trade‐offs. Ecology and Evolution https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.5385
Alternatives in ecosystem‐based management often differ with respect to trade‐offs between ecosystem values. Ecosystem or food‐web models and demographic models are typically employed to evaluate alternatives, but the approaches are rarely integrated to uncover conflicts between values. We applied multistate models to a capture–recapture dataset on common guillemots Uria aalge breeding in the Baltic Sea to identify factors in...
Lhermie, G., Wernli, D., Jørgensen, P.S., Kenkel, D., Tauer, L.W., Gröhn, Y.T. 2019. Global resistance to antimicrobials and their sustainable use in agriculture. The Lancet Planetary Health, Volume 3, Issue 3, Pe109-e110, March 01, 2019. DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S2542-5196(18)30251-1
Decision-making on antimicrobial use relies on an interdependent mix of economic, behavioural, ethical, and cultural factors. In animal agriculture, antimicrobials are used to achieve: economic objectives, via optimisation of farm benefits related to sale of animal derived foodstuffs; animal welfare objectives, by ensuring good health at individual and herd levels; and public health objectives, via limiting risk of zoonotic di...
Masterson, V.A., Vetter, S., Chaigneau, T., Daw, T. et al. 2019. Revisiting the relationships between human well-being and ecosystems in dynamicsocial-ecological systems: Implications forstewardship and development. GlobalSustainability 2, e8, 1–14. https://doi.org/10.1017/S205947981900005X
We argue that the ways in which we as humans derive well-being from nature – for example by harvesting firewood, selling fish or enjoying natural beauty – feed back into how we behave towards the environment. This feedback is mediated by institutions (rules, regulations) and by individual capacities to act. Understanding these relationships can guide better interventions for sustainably improving well-being and alleviating pov...
Crépin, A-S., Nævdal, E. 2019. Inertia Risk: Improving Economic Models of Catastrophes. The Scandinavian Journal of Economics https://doi.org/10.1111/sjoe.12381
We model endogenous catastrophic risk in a new way that we term inertia risk , which accounts for delays between physical variables and the hazard rate — a characteristic often observed in reality. The added realism significantly impacts optimal policies relative to the standard model of catastrophic risk. The probability of a catastrophe occurring at some point in time may span the entire interval [0, 1] and is not 0 or 1 a...
Downing, A., Bhowmik, A., Collste, D. Cornell, S.E., Donges, J., et.al. 2019. Matching scope, purpose and uses of planetary boundaries science. Environ. Res. Lett. 14 073005. DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/ab22c9
Background : The Planetary Boundaries concept (PBc) has emerged as a key global sustainability concept in international sustainable development arenas. Initially presented as an agenda for global sustainability research, it now shows potential for sustainability governance. We use the fact that it is widely cited in scientific literature (>3500 citations) and an extensively studied concept to analyse how it has been used and...
Barthel, S., Isendahl, C., Vis B.N., Drescher, A., Evans, D., van Timmeren, A. 2019. Global urbanization and food production in direct competition for land: Leverage places to mitigate impacts on SDG2 and on the Earth System. The Anthropocene Review 1–27, DOI: 10.1177/2053019619856672
Global urbanization and food production are in direct competition for land. This paper carries out a critical review of how displacing crop production from urban and peri-urban land to other areas – because of issues related to soil quality – will demand a substantially larger proportion of the Earth’s terrestrial land surface than the surface area lost to urban encroachment. Such relationships may trigger further distancing e...

The circumstances under which different ecosystem service benefits can be realized differ. The benefits tend to be coproduced and to be enabled by multiple interacting social, ecological, and technological factors, which is particularly evident in cities. As many cities are undergoing rapid change, these factors need to be better understood and accounted for, especially for those most in need of benefits. We propose a framewor...
Bodin, Ö., Alexander, S., Baggio, J., Barnes, M., Berardo, R., Cumming, G. et.al. 2019. 'Improving network approaches to the study of complex social–ecological interdependencies'. Nature Sustainability. DOI: 10.1038/s41893-019-0308-0
Achieving effective, sustainable environmental governance requires a better understanding of the causes and consequences of the complex patterns of interdependencies connecting people and ecosystems within and across scales. Network approaches for conceptualizing and analysing these interdependencies offer one promising solution. Here, we present two advances we argue are needed to further this area of research: (i) a typology...
