This chapter describes the key characteristics of “inSTREAM” and how it represents adaptive trade-off decisions, and provides the background needed to understand its design and complexity. The initial purpose of inSTREAM was to assess how alternative reservoir operation rules, which produce different patterns of flow and temperature in downstream waters, affect populations of sympatric trout species. It quickly became apparent that such a model would also be useful for a variety of management applications and for exploring more general ecological questions. InSTREAM has evolved into a family of models, each focused on specific salmonid communities and management problems. These models have also proved useful as virtual laboratories for exploring more general questions, of both management and theoretical importance, for which inclusion of adaptive trade-off behavior is probably critical. These questions have included how multiple stressors interact to affect populations; how opposing effects of increased turbidity—reduced feeding success and reduced predation risk—interact to affect populations; how habitat fragmentation affects population persistence and size structure; and how useful habitat selection models are for predicting population responses.

There is a gap in existing literature regarding the integration of family therapies and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with high-conflict couples and families. A case application is utilized to highlight how the integration of structural family therapy (SFT) and DBT can inform the conceptualization and treatment of clients. The following case study involves a high-conflict, Children’s Services Bureau–referred couple presenting to therapy with reported multiple stressors and problems. For the purposes of this article, therapeutic change occurs within the family unit, by accepting each member as they are, while at the same time working together to change maladaptive familial structures. The aim of this article is to begin closing the gap in research by exploring how structural family therapy and dialectical behavior can be integrated to create a comprehensive theory and approach to treatment.

Variability on multiple temporal and spatial scales exposes fishers and fishing communities to multiple stressors. The impact and interplay of these stressors need to be considered to improve our understanding of social-ecological linkages if sustainable livelihoods are to be promoted. To this end, participant-led research was conducted in the small-scale traditional commercial linefishery of the southern Cape (South Africa) between Witsand and Mossel Bay. Knowledge and perceptions regarding stressors responsible for changes in the social-ecological system, which ultimately affect the fishers’ ability to fish successfully, were recorded using semi-formal interviews and focus groups with 50 participants. The results presented not only offer valuable insights into the day-to-day experiences of these fishers, but also expose knowledge gaps that exist in micro-scale interactions influencing the fishery system. An analysis of various stressors is presented, which includes the impacts of and responses to climate variability; challenges presented by fisheries policies and regulatory frameworks; social and economic considerations; inadequate infrastructure; and general political considerations. The development of a more comprehensive understanding of stressors that affect the social-ecological system at various scales provides valuable insights into a fishery system that is currently not well described, and provides the basis for analyses into vulnerability and resilience.
