Ecological theory predicts ecosystem stressor interactions in freshwater ecosystems, but highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the additive null model

B. J. Burgess, D. W. Purves, G. M. Mace, D. Murrell

The paper uses ecological theory and food web models to predict stressor interactions in freshwater ecosystems, finding additive interactions are most frequent but sampling limitations may mask non-additive effects.

Modelling parameter uncertainty reveals bushmeat yield versus survival trade-offs in heavily-hunted duiker Cephalophus spp.

T. Barychka, D. W. Purves, E. J. Milner-Gulland, G. M. Mace

The paper models parameter uncertainty in duiker hunting to show trade-offs between bushmeat yield and survival, finding that quota-based harvesting creates a yield-extinction risk trade-off while proportional harvesting avoids it but is harder to implement.

Modelling variation in bushmeat harvesting among seven African ecosystems using the Madingley Model: yield, survival and ecosystem impacts

T. Barychka, G. M. Mace, D. W. Purves

This study uses the Madingley Model to simulate bushmeat harvesting across seven African ecosystems, finding that yield and ecosystem impacts vary significantly based on climate-driven differences in trophic structure.

Non-linear changes in modelled terrestrial ecosystems subjected to perturbations

T. Newbold, D. P. Tittensor, M. B. J. Harfoot, J. P. W. Scharlemann, D. W. Purves

The paper models non-linear ecosystem responses to vegetation removal in terrestrial biomes, finding irreversible changes when removal exceeds 80%.
