Assessment of the Cumulative Effects of Anthropogenic Stressors on Marine Mammals (link)
A report from the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine to assess current methodologies used for evaluating cumulative effects of stressors on marine mammals and identify new approaches that could improve these assessments. This review focuses on ways to quantify exposure-related changes in the behavior, health, or body condition of individual marine mammals and makes recommendations for future research initiatives.
Chapter 5 discusses modeling the population consequences of exposure to multiple stressors. The decision tree we will use to assess how stressors may or may not interact can be found on page 52 of Chapter 4.
