Multiple-stressor effects on leaf litter decomposition in freshwater ecosystems: A meta-analysis

Graciela Medina Madariaga; Verónica Ferreira; Roshni Arora; India Mansour; Gwendoline M. David; Sonja C. Jähnig; Fengzhi He

By using a meta analytical technique, the authors investigated the effect of multiple-stressors on leaf litter decomposition in freshwaters. The overall interaction between multiple stressors was antagonistic and the magnitude and direction of multiple-stressor interactions depends on factors such as the involvement of macroinvertebrates, habitat type and available resources.

Recreational killing of wild animals can foster environmental stewardship

Samuel Shephard; Erica von Essen; Thorsten Gieser; Charles J. List; Robert Arlinghaus

The authors add a new perspective to the topic of "recreational use of wild animals". The hypothesis is that an emotionally intense interaction between hunters / anglers and wild animals can create a particularly strong sense of responsibility, described as "environmental stewardship". This in turn would be an incentive for many to commit to lifelong environmental and species protection action.

The global extent and severity of operational interactions between conflicting pinnipeds and fisheries

John Jackson; William N. S. Arlidge; Rodrigo Oyanedel; Katrina Joan Davis

Conservation efforts have led to the recovery of pinnipeds populations worldwide after decades of intensive hunting and culls. However, this positive development has led to conflicts with fisheries, particularly small-scale fisheries. They are almost three times more likely to come into conflict with seals, sea lions and walruses, and lose four times more of their catch than larger fisheries.
