Gone fishing: The value of recreational fishing in Sweden

, 2019
Data from a unique nationwide recreational fishing survey in Sweden is used to estimate benefits of recreational fishing in Sweden, differences between regions and age groups, and how they relate to expected catch. The data targets the whole Swedish population, and as a consequence a large fraction of zero fishing days exists in the sample. To consider

Portuguese Students' Perceptions of Soil Ecosystem Services and Their Willingness to Change Behaviour for the Future of Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is one of the most important non‐renewable natural resources, playing a vital role in sustaining humanity. Studies exploring how students perceive soil ecosystem services are considerably scarcer. Therefore, the main objectives of this study are: (i) to understand Portuguese students' perceptions of the importance of different soil ...

Predictive Ecosystem Health Assessment Under Land‐Use and Vegetation Dynamics in a Semi‐Arid Rift Valley Basin, Ethiopia

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land degradation driven by rapid land‐use and climate‐driven vegetation dynamics increasingly threatens ecosystem stability in semi‐arid wetland basins, yet predictive ecosystem health assessments remain limited in Sub‐Saharan Africa. This study evaluates historical dynamics and future trajectories of ecosystem health in the Ziway‐Shalla Sub ...

A simple index for assessing cumulative human impacts on mountain lakes

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Mountain lakes are highly sensitive ecosystems and effective sentinels of environmental change, yet the exposure and magnitude of the human footprint remain poorly quantified. In this study, we develop a simple and non‐invasive abiotic index to assess cumulative pressures on mountain lakes. The proposed index integrates eight variables grouped

Assessing the Role of Policy in the Evolution of Recreational Fisheries in Chinese Fishing Villages: An Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Delphi Method Analysis

Fishes
Recreational fisheries in Chinese fishing villages have undergone significant transformation due to supportive government policies. This study develops a comprehensive indicator to objectively assess the development of recreational fisheries under rural ...

Bed‐level tools for monitoring erosion and accretion patterns: Flume validation and field testing

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Monitoring short‐term changes in surface sediment elevation is fundamental to understanding erosion, transport, and deposition dynamics in shallow coastal environments. However, commonly used field approaches, such as horizontal markers, sediment erosion tables, subsurface sediment plates, or erosion pins, are not always cross‐validated under ...

Comparative Outcomes of Fine Needle Aspiration and Core Needle Biopsy for Parotid Masses

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To compare the diagnostic accuracy and safety of ultrasound‐guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) versus core needle biopsy (CNB) for parotid masses. Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Tertiary academic medical center, 2018 to 2023. Methods We reviewed 485 patients undergoing ultrasound‐guided parotid biopsy (426 FNAs and

When wolves aren't enough: revisiting trophic cascades in northern Wisconsin

Oikos, EarlyView.
Elimination of top predators has allowed large herbivores to flourish in many terrestrial ecosystems, transforming food webs and ecosystem functions. Restoration of large predator communities is hoped to reverse negative effects of this trophic downgrading, but evidence for such effects is elusive.

How recreational fishing affects fish and fisheries

Recreational fishing provides substantial societal value but also represents a widespread form of exploitation of wild fish populations. In this thesis, I integrate approaches from fisheries science, ecology, animal behaviour, and eco-evolutionary modelling to examine how recreational fishing affects fish and fisheries through selective capture, catch ...
