'Emmanuelle Cohen-Shacham' 'Angela Andrade' 'Ed Barrow' 'Steve R. Edwards' 'Piet Wit' 'Mike Jones'] Sustainable development aims at addressing economic, social, and environmental concerns, but the current lack of responsive environmental governance hinders progress. Short-term economic development has led to limited…

Social dilemmas are an integral part of social interactions. Cooperative actions, ranging from secreting extra-cellular products in microbial populations to donating blood in humans, are costly to the actor and hence create an incentive to shirk and avoid the costs. Nevertheless, cooperation is ubiquitous in nature.…

Perspectives in conservation can be based on a variety of value systems and normative postulates. Perspectives also vary between cultures. Such differences in what and how people value nature, underlie many disagreements and conflicts during the formulation and implementation of environmental management policies.…

Models in evolutionary game theory traditionally assume symmetric interactions in homogeneous environments. Here, we consider populations evolving in a heterogeneous environment, which consists of patches of different qualities that are occupied by one individual each. The fitness of individuals is not only determined…

'Margaret Holland'] Maintaining the functional integrity of ecosystems as climate pressures exceed natural rates of adaptation requires new knowledge and new approaches to governance and management. However, research into management interventions to assist regional ecosystem adaptation has generated both scientific and…

'Charlotte Stijnen' 'Janneke den Dekker-Arlain' 'Christopher M. Raymond'] Trade-offs in nature-based solutions are increasingly recognized, with novel research interrogating their justice implications. Yet, these trade-offs and justice implications remain entrenched in an anthropocentric orientation, which is…

Spatial dynamics can promote the evolution of cooperation. While dispersal processes have been studied in simple evolutionary games, real-world social dilemmas are much more complicated. The public good, in many cases, does not increase linearly as per the investment in it. When the investment is low, for example…

We propose a framework to support management that builds on a social-ecological system perspective on the Arctic Ocean. We illustrate the framework’s application for two policy-relevant scenarios of climate-driven change, picturing a shift in zooplankton composition and alternatively a crab invasion. We analyse…

Feedbacks between strategies and the environment are common in socialecological, evolutionary-ecological, and even psychological-economic systems. Utilizing common resources is always a dilemma for community members, like tragedy of the commons. Here we consider replicator dynamics with feedback-evolving games, where…

'Bernice S. Elger' 'Kirsten Persson'] Sacrificial dilemmas such as the trolley problem play an important role in experimental philosophy (x-phi). But it is increasingly argued that, since we are not likely to encounter runaway trolleys in our daily life, the usefulness of such thought experiments for understanding…

Conservation chemistry is an emerging discipline focused on preventing the loss of biodiversity through molecular-level insight and intervention. As the planet enters a mass extinction event – driven by pollution, habitat loss, invasive species, climate change, overharvesting, and disease – chemical sciences offer…

–Eco-evolutionary game dynamics which characterizes the mutual interactions and the coupled evolutions of strategies and environments has been of growing interests in very recent years. Since such feedback loops widely exist in a range of coevolutionary systems, such as microbial systems, social-ecological system and…

Classical environmental models assume the influence of humans on environmental systems is constant. However, human and environmental systems respond to one another. As such, coupled human-environment systems (CHES) models have been developed and are becoming more widely studied. In this review, we analyze CHES…

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) presents an ongoing challenge for the management of deer populations and sustaining harvest opportunities across North America. Existing disease models often fail to fully capture the complex interplay between disease dynamics, host ecology, and socio-economic factors. We developed a…

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) have been used as antimicrobial additives in textiles, but information on the environmental occurrence of QACs in textiles and their ecological impacts from laundry wastewater is scarce. In this study, we purchased 119 textile samples from Chinese online vendors, with the product…

Socio-ecological models combine ecological systems with human social dynamics in order to better understand human interactions with the environment. To model human behavior, replicator dynamics can be used to model how societal influence and financial costs can change opinions about resource extraction. Previous…

Global food security and environmental sustainability are closely linked to positive plant-soil feedback, for example through reduced dependence on synthetic agrochemicals. Beyond their nutritional value as protein- and lipid-rich crops, legumes have an essential ecological function by enhancing soil fertility and…

Understanding realistic exposure profiles of mixtures is crucial for effectively predicting the ecological risks and effects of metal mixtures in natural environments on a large scale (e.g., at a country level). In this study, we aimed to compile available measurement data for metals relevant to ecological risk…

Heterotrophic protists can be considered the dark matter of microbial communities in engineered water systems. They are ubiquitous and ecologically significant, yet remain largely overlooked. Although a growing body of research demonstrates their pivotal roles (e.g., predation, symbiosis, and nutrient cycling) in…

Models have become indispensable tools in conservation science in the face of increasingly rapid loss of biodiversity through anthropogenic habitat loss and natural resource exploitation. In addition to their ecological components, accurately representing human decision-making processes in such models is vital to…
