A review of transdisciplinary research in sustainability science

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the growth and scientific impact of transdisciplinary sustainability research, the methods used and how three key characteristics of transdisciplinarity research (process phases, knowledge types and the intensity of involvement of practitioners) are implemented.

Preparing ocean governance for species on the move

TL;DR: It is shown here that many species will likely shift across national and other political boundaries in the coming decades, creating the potential for conflict over newly shared resources.

Implementing ecosystem-based management: evolution or revolution?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suggest that implementing ecosystem-based management has to be "revolutionary" in the sense of going beyond conventional practices, which would require the use of multiple disciplines and multiple objectives, dealing with technically unresolvable management problems of complex adaptive systems and expanding scope from management to governance.

Resource degradation, marginalization, and poverty in small-scale fisheries: threats to social-ecological resilience in India and Brazil

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine poverty in local fisheries using a social-ecological resilience lens, and they argue that understanding poverty will require a focus on the SES as a whole, and addressing poverty will mean rebuilding not only collapsed stocks but the entire SES, including restoring relationships between resources and people.

Resilience and Stability of Ecological Systems

TL;DR: The traditional view of natural systems, therefore, might well be less a meaningful reality than a perceptual convenience.

Catastrophic shifts in ecosystems.

TL;DR: Recent studies show that a loss of resilience usually paves the way for a switch to an alternative state, which suggests that strategies for sustainable management of such ecosystems should focus on maintaining resilience.

Understanding Institutional Diversity

Elinor Ostrom
TL;DR: Ostronr as discussed by the authors develops a syntax for institutions by starting from the first principles of deontic logic and makes elegant distinctions between often-confused concepts, such as a strategy determines who achieves what outcomes under which conditions; a norm is a strategy specified with what is permitted, obliged, or forbidden; and a rule is a norm specified with the consequences of not following the norm.
