Aha… Interesting to know you've encountered this issue.., as I’m starting to write a manuscript with this “problem”, so, interesting to know. Looking forward to reading your study! Good luck!

I fully agree with your views, ILK sounds just right. ILK is much more than LEK.
Now my doubt: in a study assessing peoples perceptions towards ecosystems and their services in a European coastal setting, would you call the knowledge that residents of the area have as ILK, or only local knowledge?

Thanks! It’s more like what happens when a farmer ploughs a field, which makes worms more available to birds. Or like when we mow a lawn, again increasing the visibility of bugs & worms. In the case of the paper, a herbivorous fish grazes down a seagrass meadow and the sea urchins get eaten 😊😊

Also ❤️ this one from my postdoc @sosbangor.bsky.social on how herbivores can influence saltmarsh erosion in unexpected ways via indirect interactions. In this case, we found that domestic herbivores instead of increasing, decreased erodibility via soil compaction link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Opposing Indirect Effects of Domestic Herbivores on Saltmarsh Erosion - Ecosystems
Herbivores can sometimes influence the geomorphology of landscapes, particularly in systems dominated by hydrology. Salt marshes deliver globally valuable benefits, including coastal protection, yet t...

I feel particularly attached to the 1st paper of my PhD @ceabcsic.bsky.social , on how herbivores might make other herbivores' populations collapse by making them visible to predators (eating the seagrass canopies in which they take shelter in) besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
