Towards ecosystem-based management: identifying operational food-web indicators for marine ecosystems (2017, background): “Clearly defined, consistent metrics at the global scale can provide management in multiple countries with the tools to make EBM more operational (Leslie and McLeod, 2007; Smith et al., 2007; Lester et al., 2010; Link, 2010; Thrush and Dayton, 2010; Link et al., 2011).”
Hybridization and the species problem in conservation (2015, background): “The goal of ecosystem management is to maintain the long-term ability of ecosystems to provide benefits and services (Lester et al., 2010).”
Evaluating tradeoffs among ecosystem services to inform marine spatial planning (2013, background): “One central challenge for translating EBM and 26 MSP tenets from concept to practice is developing rigorous and straightforward approaches for 27 balancing diverse human uses of ecosystems [12].”
The importance of research and public opinion to conservation management of sharks and rays: a synthesis (2011, unknown): “This ecosystem-based management approach has become very popular in concept (Lester et al. 2010); however, it is at present poorly supported by reliable decision-support tools that enable researchers and resource managers to explore policy options.”
