TL;DR: Tests with simulated data show that a common metric for detecting and describing boom-bust dynamics, decline from an observed peak to a subsequent trough, tends to severely overestimate the frequency and severity of busts, and should be used cautiously if at all.

TL;DR: The concept of species charisma has been explored in the context of invasive alien species (IAS) in this paper, where the authors discuss how it can affect species introductions, media portrayals, public perceptions, opposition to management, research efforts, and public participation in research and management.

TL;DR: This work defines the different forms of active management using a novel approach based on changes in species status, avoiding the need for stand-alone descriptions of management types, and proposes a standardised set of management terminology as an emergent feature of this framework.

TL;DR: It is indicated that small, yet poorly known, soft-shelled and agglutinating foraminifers with a low nutritional value may be important as food for deep-water isopods and that foraminIFers may be an important link between phytodetritus and the macrofauna.
