A Coupled Human and Natural Systems Framework to Characterize Emerging Infectious Diseases—The Case of Fibropapillomatosis in Marine Turtles [PDF]
Emerging infectious diseases of wildlife have markedly increased in the last few decades. Unsustainable, continuous, and rapid alterations within and between coupled human and natural systems have significantly disrupted wildlife disease dynamics. Direct

A review of the complexity approach to the study human (society)-nature interactions [PDF]
Traditional approach to the study of society-nature interactions based on reductionism and linear causality is no longer fully capable of explaining complex dynamics of integrated socio-economic and natural systems. For this reason demands for complexity
