Abstract Despite the numerous benefits we derive from ecosystems as ecosystem services (ES), negative impacts on human health and well-being also occur disservices (ED). To study ED, researchers box them into classes create conceptual frameworks to support their identification, assessment, communication. It is unclear what now exist for relative uptake in literature, potential application across socio-ecological contexts. We conduct a systematic literature review of ED classification systems take stock synthesize this growing but scattered body research. find strong several influential articles persisting inconsistency classifications oversimplification processes within frameworks. Aggregating existing frameworks, draw lessons learned propose Composite Ecosystem Disservices (CED) framework. call increased research, greater comparability replicability allowing transdisciplinarity, underpinnings that recognize social-ecological interconnections.

Humans are often perceived as predators by free‐living animals, and thus, even non‐consumptive human activities such outdoor recreation may trigger behavioural physiological responses, with negative consequences on individual fitness population persistence. Nonetheless, there is growing evidence that wildlife can also have remarkable tolerance, but no clear picture has yet emerged regarding the mechanisms explaining different responses to humans. We investigated effect of types activity – hunting tolerance humans in Alpine marmots Marmota marmota . Marmots were studied areas contrasting protection regimes under levels northern Italy over three seasons (2021–2023). Flight initiation distance (i.e. at which an animal escapes from approaching person) was used a proxy disturbance tested against using linear mixed modelling. more sensitive hunted compared protected areas, whereas we did not find for changes when exposed varying recreation. In turn, our study suggests hunting, reducing humans, could exacerbate effects non‐lethal wildlife. This implications conservation management strategies aimed promoting coexistence human‐altered landscapes.
