Comparative review of entanglement risk assessments for cetacean conservation and management

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cetacean entanglement in fishing gear remains a major global threat that exposes persistent gaps in how fisheries management frameworks manage risk to nontarget species. Ecological risk assessment (ERA) offers a structured way to link exposure and consequences to an explicit statement of risk, but entanglement risk assessments vary widely in ...

Tracking the impact of bottom trawling on benthic habitat status

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bottom trawling is the most widespread physical disturbance to marine benthic habitats, yet broadscale assessments of its impact remain limited. We developed a quantitative framework to evaluate trawling effects on benthic habitats at broad spatial scales based on the sentinels of seabed (SoS) indicator.

Insights from three decades of IUCN Red List assessments catalyzing shark, ray, and chimaera conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is a critical measure of global aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity status. It is also the basis for the Red List Index, which tracks extinction risk over time.

Global distribution of aquatic animal telemetry effort reveals geographic biases and opportunities for more inclusive tracking studies

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Despite broad global distribution of aquatic telemetry studies, important biogeographic regions remain poorly investigated. The most important variables correlated with the distribution of telemetry studies were political stability, conservation funding, number of scientific documents, and English as a first language.

Achumawi and Atsugewi Fishing Gear

, 1990
During a collecting trip for the Field Columbian Museum of Chicago in 1902, John W. Hudson acquired gear used by the Achumawi and Atsugewi for fishing. In 1986-87 the Pit River Tribal Council and the California Department of Parks and Recreation collaborated to protect the unique stone fish traps or weirs at Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park in ...

Ancient Nets and Fishing Gears

, 2010
The archaeological visibiliry of ancient fishing, rypically carried out by the less privileged social groups in the Graeco-Roman world, is very limited. Research on ancient fishing relies on ayery limited number of pictorial representations - mostly in mosaics, particularly abundant in Africa Proconsuhris, and coins - a few literary texts and a ...

Does nature shape risk preferences? Evidence from Chile, Norway, and Tanzania

Economic Inquiry, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 568-590, April 2025.
Abstract Does exposure to a more risky environment affect risk preferences? Going beyond single‐case study evidence, we report results from five surveys conducted in three countries and link this with administrative data to study whether a link between exposure and preferences is detectable and widespread. We find no evidence for endogenous preferences

Risking Response‐Ability

Educational Theory, EarlyView.
Abstract “Risking response‐ability” names the risky pedagogical work of being addressed by humans and more‐than‐human others alike, and of finding ourselves called to respond. In this article, I bring Gert Biesta's account of “pedagogical risk” into conversation with Donna Haraway's notion of “response‐ability,” arguing that education's force lies in ...

The depth and breadth of capitalism at the Cape

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Limited liability company legislation was introduced to the Cape Colony in 1861. An amendment in 1892 led to wider adoption, expanding and diversifying the capital market. Using novel data from the Cape Joint Stock Archive between 1892 and 1902, this paper examines who invested, where capital flowed, and how these patterns shaped firm outcomes
