Assessing the carbon footprint of the 15th International Coral Reef Symposium (ICRS) in Bremen, Germany
Scientific conferences serve as an important platform for scientists to meet policy makers, establish collaborations, extend networks, meet potential future employers, and share ideas along with expertise to collectively solve problems. Conferences are therefore of great importance to the scientific community. However, as these are sizeable gatherings of people from all over the world, there are undoubtedly environmental factors that should be considered when organizing such events.

Fishery catch is affected by geographic expansion, fishing down food webs and climate change in Aotearoa, New Zealand
Our results have identified and unmasked aspects of MTC warming during the geographic expansion of New Zealand fisheries catch into offshore waters from 1950–2019. By separating fisheries catch between species’ habitat and by fishing gear, we observed warming trends of pelagic-oceanic species across the study period. Results from sensitivity analyses confirmed a warming trend of pelagic-oceanic species, although FAO data showed this trend to occur from 1950–2009, thereafter reversing (Fig. S2F).

The quality of the fossil record across higher taxa: compositional fidelity of phyla and classes in benthic marine associations
Compositional and diversity fidelity Prior to all analyses small samples with fewer than 50 individuals were excluded (36 out of 52 sites were retained in the final analysis). As samples from DAs typically contain more individuals, sample standardization was performed using rarefaction, and samples were rarefied to the smallest of the two assemblages in any given live-dead pair.

Low-stress livestock handling protects cattle in a five-predator habitat
Conclusion We observe that when properly executed L-SLH protects cattle with fewer riders. Furthermore, it is a method that is quickly taught. Our recommendations are that (1) L-SLH be tested in a randomized controlled experiment against non-L-SLH (i.e., ‘traditional’) livestock handling and/or a true control. This would help to determine whether other forms of human presence deter, attract or have no effect on predator attacks on livestock.
A decade of invertebrate recruitment at Santa Catalina Island, California
Discussion Analyses of fouling communities have been a staple of marine research for over a century (Visscher, 1928), with numerous studies describing the organisms, the rate and sequence at which they settle, and how these events vary over time (e.g., Sutherland, 1974; Menge et al., 2011 and references therein).
Quantifying the effects of delisting wolves after the first state began lethal management
Introduction Wolves and their protection are controversial worldwide and across the U.S. (Bruskotter et al., 2018; Manfredo et al., 2020; Treves & Martin, 2011; Chapron et al., 2014; Dressel, Sandström & Ericsson, 2014). The U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) aims to remove listed species (delist) from federal protection once recovered but contingent on adequate regulations in subnational jurisdictions to keep them off the federal list.
Species recovery and recolonization of past habitats: lessons for science and conservation from sea otters in estuaries
Introduction Widespread declines of top predator populations have profoundly altered ecological relationships, resulting in the degradation or collapse of many ecosystems (Jackson et al., 2001; Estes et al., 2011; Ripple et al., 2014). Because many of these losses occurred well before systematic ecological studies could document their effects, our understanding of ecological baselines has been fundamentally skewed (Jackson et al., 2001).
Indirect effects of overfishing on Caribbean reefs: sponges overgrow reef-building corals
Introduction Food web dynamics are considered fundamental to the study of ecology (Fretwell, 1987), and are the subject of considerable research despite the theoretical limitations brought by the complexity of natural ecosystems. Policy decisions relevant to the management of living natural resources require an in-depth understanding of ecosystem structure and properties (Hooper et al., 2005; Farber et al., 2006).
