Predicting ecosystem collapse: Spatial factors that influence risks to tropical ecosystems
(Wiley, 2015)
Biological traits explain extinction at the species level, but what factors explain collapse at the
ecosystem level? Using ecosystem Red List criteria from the International Union for Conservation of Nature, we
calculated ...
The adaptive cycle and the ecosystem services: a social-ecological analysis of Chiloé Island, southern Chile
(Resilience Alliance Acadia Univ, Biology Dept,, 2020)
We used the adaptive cycle as a heuristic to conceptualize the changes in ecosystem services between its phases (growth,
conservation, collapse, and reorganization) for Chiloé Island (southern Chile), analyzed as a ...
Ecosystem-level effects of the small pelagics fishery in the Gulf of California
(Ecosystem-level effects of the small pelagics fishery in the Gulf of California, 2011)
Documentary scientific evidence supports the notion that the small pelagics fishery in the Gulf of California does not measurably affect the physical habitat or the functional relationships between the species comprising ...
Simulated response to harvesting strategies in an exploited ecosystem in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico
(Ecological Modelling, 2004)
The impact of some optimized harvesting strategies on ecosystem structure was investigated using a mass-balanced model of the ecosystem in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico, where there are four types of artisanal fisheries ...
Navigating transformations in governance of Chilean marine coastal resources
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2010)
Marine ecosystems are in decline. New transformational changes in governance are urgently required to cope with overfishing, pollution, global changes, and other drivers of degradation. Here we explore social, political, ...
Sandy beach social–ecological systems at risk: regime shifts, collapses, and governance challenges
(Ecological Society of America, 2021)
Approximately half of the world’s ice-free ocean coastline is composed of sandy beaches, which support a higher level of recreational use than any other ecosystem. However, the contribution of sandy beaches to societal ...
Exploring ecosystem-based harvesting strategies to recover the collapsed pink shrimp (Farfantepenaeus duorarum) fishery in the southern Gulf of Mexico
(Ecological Modelling, 2008)
The pink shrimp was a very important fishery in the southern Gulf of Mexico, but it is currently collapsed. In the early 1970s, fishery yields peaked at about 27,000 t per year, of which the pink shrimp was 90%. At present, ...
