Shifting gears for the use of the shifting baseline syndrome in ecological restoration
(MDPI AG, 2019)
There are two barriers to accomplishing restoration of ecosystems: insufficient information about historical baselines to guide restoration, and shifts between the actual baselines and perceptions about historical conditions. ...
To tip or not to tip: The Window of Tipping Point Analysis for social-ecological systems
(Wiley, 2022)
We introduce six steps to define a “Window of Tipping Point Analysis” which serves as a framework to increase the understanding of processes and tipping points in social-ecological systems. We apply the Window of Tipping ...
Shifting Gears for the Use of the Shifting Baseline Syndrome in Ecological Restoration

Ecological specialization to fluctuating resources prevents long-4 distance migratory raptors from becoming sedentary on islands
(Public Library Science, 2013-03)
The adaptive transition between behavioral strategies, such as the shift from migratoriness to sedentariness, remains an outstanding question in evolutionary ecology. Density-dependent variation in the age of first breeding ...
Staying ahead of invaders: using species distribution modeling to predict alien species’ potential niche shifts
(Inter-Research, 2019-03)
Early detection and rapid response are essential to prevent invasive species from thriving in marine environments following their introduction. Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict the potential ...
