They drag up anything in the way, inflicting immense damage, destroying critical habitat and contributing to the destabilization of the northern cod ecosystem. The draggers targeted huge aggregations of cod while they were spawning, a time when the fish population is highly vulnerable to capture. ...

Alien species interfere not only with the local biota, but also with one another as competitors (Dick and Platvoet 2000), prey/predators (Borza et al. 2009), habitat engineers providing shelters (e.g. mussels, Kobak et al. 2009) and sources of interspecific semiochemicals (Rachalewski et al...
Only studies where the causal relationship between intervention and outcome is made clear to allow for the effects of entrainment and impingement to be isolated from other potential impacts of hydroelectric power production (e.g., barriers to migration and/or habitat degradation), will be included....

We argue that there is a need to better understand the role of non-sampling errors and that innovative ways to control them must be found. There is a lack of empirical evidence on the existence and magnitude of non-sampling errors in surveys in developing countries. There are at least two...
