1. Understanding interest politics in social-ecological systems : Mechanisms behind emergent policy responses to environmental change
Sammanfattning : Environmental policymaking is embedded in social-ecological systems (SES) that continuously evolve and change, often in unexpected and non-linear ways. Such challenges call for responsive policymaking that adjusts policy when new information and knowledge about social-ecological change is available. LÄS MER
2. Making complex commons work : identifying critical social-ecological factors and mechanisms for sustainable ecosystem management
Sammanfattning : Collective action holds the key to many sustainability challenges, from local to global scales. Whether it is to manage community-based fisheries or take action against climate change or biodiversity loss – the question on how to overcome the conflict between individual and collective interests (i.e. LÄS MER
3. Transcriptional biomarkers of toxicity – powerful tools or random noise? : An applied perspective from studies on bivalves
Sammanfattning : Aquatic organisms are constantly at risk of being exposed to potentially harmful chemical compounds of natural or anthropogenic origin. Biological life can for instance respond to chemical stressors by changes in gene expression, and thus, certain gene transcripts can potentially function as biomarkers, i.e. LÄS MER
4. Species distribution models : ecological applications for management of biodiversity
Sammanfattning : Species distribution models are a group of methods often used to estimate consequences of global change, to assess ecological status and for other ecological applications. The main idea behind species distribution models is that the geographical distributions of species can, to a large part, be explained by environmental factors and that species distributions therefore can be predicted in time or space.

5. Utilizing requirements to support sustainable product development : Introductory approaches for strategic sustainability integration
Sammanfattning : The attention to sustainability impacts arising during the lifecycle of products is growing as industry wants to increase its contribution to a sustainable society. To do so, companies must find ways to navigate the complexity of the needs within the socio-ecological system in which they operate. LÄS MER
