The operationalisation of sustainability: Sustainable aquaculture production as defined by certification schemes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the operationalisation of the concept from the vantage point of the certifying authorities, who devise standards and grant or withhold certification of compliance, and map the criteria of eight widely used certification schemes using the four domains of the Wheel of Sustainability, a reference model designed to encompass a comprehensive understanding of sustainability.

The Atlantic salmon : natural history, exploitation and future management/ W.M. Shearer

Beaver: Nature's ecosystem engineers

TL;DR: This article concludes by examining future considerations that may need to be resolved as beavers further expand in the northern hemisphere with an emphasis upon the ecosystem services that they can provide and the associated management that will be necessary to maximize the benefits and minimize conflicts.

Propagule pressure: a null model for biological invasions

TL;DR: It is concluded that propagule pressure should serve as the basis of a null model for studies of biological invasions when inferring process from patterns of invasion, and ‘propagule biases’ may confound current paradigms in invasion ecology.
