Climate change may impair electricity generation and economic viability of future Amazon hydropower Climate change may impair electricity generation and economic viability of future Amazon hydropower
Numerous hydropower facilities are under construction or planned in tropical and subtropical rivers worldwide. While dams are typically designed considering historic river discharge regimes, climate change may induce large-scale alterations in river hydrology. Here we analyze how future climate change will affect river hydrology, electricity generation, and economic viability of > 350...

Marine ecotourism for small pelagics as a source of alternative income generating activities to fisheries in a tropical community Marine ecotourism for small pelagics as a source of alternative income generating activities to fisheries in a tropical community
Overharvest has led to marine ecosystem degradation and declining fishery catches in many tropical communities. To allow stocks to recover and provide increased flows of food and income, reductions in fishing effort are necessary. The development of Alternative Income Generating Activities can help to reduce the economic reliance of coastal communities on fishing, potentially reducing...

Managing for RADical ecosystem change: Applying the Resist-Accept-Direct (RAD) framework Managing for RADical ecosystem change: Applying the Resist-Accept-Direct (RAD) framework
Ecosystem transformation involves the emergence of persistent ecological or social–ecological systems that diverge, dramatically and irreversibly, from prior ecosystem structure and function. Such transformations are occurring at increasing rates across the planet in response to changes in climate, land use, and other factors. Consequently, a dynamic view of ecosystem processes that...

Declining diversity of wild-caught species puts dietary nutrient supplies at risk Declining diversity of wild-caught species puts dietary nutrient supplies at risk
Although biodiversity loss adversely influences a variety of ecosystem functions, how declining wild food diversity affects nutrient supplies for people is poorly understood. Here, we analyze the impact of declining biodiversity on nutrients supplied by fish using detailed information from the Peruvian Amazon, where inland fisheries provide a critical source of nutrition for many of the...

Acoustic tag retention and tagging mortality of juvenile cisco Coregonus artedi Acoustic tag retention and tagging mortality of juvenile cisco Coregonus artedi
Release of hatchery-reared juvenile cisco (Coregonus artedi) is an important tool for recovering Great Lakes populations, but post-release survival is unknown. Telemetry using small acoustic tags provides opportunities to assess the efficacy of hatchery-reared fish releases. However, better understanding of the tolerance of juvenile cisco to acoustic tags is needed. Juvenile cisco...

Substitution of inland fisheries with aquaculture and chicken undermines human nutrition in the Peruvian Amazon Substitution of inland fisheries with aquaculture and chicken undermines human nutrition in the Peruvian Amazon
With declining capture fisheries production, maintaining nutrient supplies largely hinges on substituting wild fish with economically comparable farmed animals. Although such transitions are increasingly commonplace across global inland and coastal communities, their nutritional consequences are unknown. Here, using human demographic and health information, and fish nutrient composition...
