DOI: 10.1007/s10531-017-1492-8

Abstract: In the Mediterranean, habitat-forming corals often characterize essential fish habitats. While their distribution is sufficiently known for the western basin, few data are available from the Central-Eastern Mediterranean Sea (CEM). This study fills this gap… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13280-024-02057-w

Abstract: Mongolian nomadic herders traditionally pass on ecological knowledge intergenerationally, mainly within families. However, little is known about how current societal transformation processes may impact the application and transfer of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) amongst herders.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2021.109305

Abstract: Abstract In international wildlife conservation programs, community engagement and incentivization strategies (e.g., wildlife-related employment, tourism income) typically reflect the ecological understandings and motivations of Western conservationists who design them. However, these views may not always… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.06.033

Abstract: Abstract Rangelands are among the most extensive anthropogenic landscapes on earth, supporting nearly 500 million people. Disagreements over the extent and severity of rangeland degradation affect pastoralist livelihoods, especially when impacts of drought and over-grazing… read more here.
