“…Consequently, while both barriers and the tensions between interdisciplinary and disciplinary (as well as organizational and professional) communities are well documented (Buanes and Jentoft ; Gooch ; Haas and Park ), other aspects of the disciplinary–interdisciplinary relationship remain under‐theorized (Castán Broto et al . ). Debates about integration have been concerned with the degree to which knowledge remains clearly associated with a particular discipline, or begins to be combined in ways that cannot be understood within a single disciplinary framework (Aram ; Morillo et al .…”

Although the role and management of interdisciplinary research in knowledge development has received plenty of attention in recent years ambiguity remains, often hindering management efforts. To address this issue, this paper provides an integrated review of extant literature on interdisciplinary research. It focuses on integration processes and the main drivers and barriers to different modes of collaborative interdisciplinary research. The authors propose a different approach to considering interdisciplinary integration, based on two factors: the type of knowledge integration; and the durability of the context of that integration.As a result, four modes of interdisciplinary integration are characterized. The authors then consider how different groups of drivers of, and barriers to, interdisciplinary research affect those types of integration. Overall, the paper provides an integrated perspective for researchers, managers and policy-makers concerned with understanding the organization of interdisciplinary research.

“…Understanding the contexts of wildlife uses of animals is central for elucidating their potential impact on biodiversity conservation. In this sense, interdisciplinary research with integrated methods, collaborative work, and participatory decisions (see Broto, Gislason, & Ehlers, 2009) provides an accurate analysis of the social, ecological, and economic scenarios related to bird-keeping and pet trade.…”

Illegal bird-keeping and pet trade are some of the major threats to Neotropical birds. The aim of the present study was to detail aspects of the use and trade of wild Passeriformes as pets in an ecotonal zone of Caatinga-Cerrado domains in middlenorth of Brazil, a western subregion of northeastern (NE) Brazil which also is a road hub interconnecting this region to the Amazon and other Brazilian areas. Information on the use of avifauna was obtained through semistructured interviews with 61 bird-keepers or trappers and investigations in the municipal market of Floriano, Piauí State. Our results reveal that at least 39 passerine species are targeted as pets in surveyed areas. Based on Use-Value (UV) index, the main recorded species were Sporophila lineola, Charitospiza eucosma, Sporophila nigricollis, Sporophila plumbea, Paroaria dominicana, Sicalis flaveola, Gnorimopsar chopi, Sicalis columbiana, Mimus saturninus, and Turdus rufiventris. In general, younger respondents (<30 years old) trapping more species than older persons (!50 years old), as well as trappers engaged in wild pet trade explored a higher species richness by respondents. The regional bird market chain was typically performed outside municipal market of Floriano and facilitated by popularization of technological improvements (motorcycles, smartphones, and social media). New strategies urgently need to be developed to improve bird conservation, including establishment and maintenance of environmental education programs, media campaigns and development of a well-monitored system for captive breeding, and reproduction of wild birds exploited as pets.

“…The inter‐disciplinary nature of sustainability has brought with it a new set of demands and challenges. Numerous studies have explored questions about the nature of inter‐disciplinarity (Aboelala et al ., ; Brewer, ; Huutoniemi et al ., ; Newell, ; Pohl et al ., ; Robinson, ) while others have examined the institutional characteristics (Buanes and Jentoft, ; Castán Broto et al ., ). Central to the notion of inter‐disciplinarity is the concept of integration, for example, the integration of knowledge, methods, theories or disciplines.…”

“…In the broad sense, inter‐disciplinarity can refer to a broad category encompassing inter‐, trans‐, multi‐ and cross‐disciplinarity. Inter‐disciplinarity refers to ‘research that cuts across boundaries’ of disciplines or institutions (Castán Broto et al ., , p. 923). Research in this category involves different disciplines coming together to enable mutual development on the scopes and approaches of the research problem.…”

This article offers an exploratory and descriptive analysis of the characteristics of inter‐disciplinary sustainability studies (ISSs). The paper explores the academic and disciplinary nature of inter‐disciplinary inquiry and studies themes, imperatives and methodologies, together with institutional characteristics. Our analysis of 70 articles published between 2003 and 2008 suggests that the publication of ISSs is growing and that this effort is largely based upon attempts to integrate aspects of different disciplines. These studies mostly relate to resource management studies and typically adopt qualitative, case study or mixed methodologies. The articles reviewed have a practical orientation, with nearly two‐thirds of studies explicitly addressing policy‐making issues, and over half cover the orientations, mechanisms and institutions towards people's participation in decision‐making. The research effort is typically made in Europe and North America, and by scholars working in inter‐disciplinary teams. The implications of these findings for research in, and the practice of, sustainability studies are discussed in conclusion. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.
