Abstract

The past 50 years have seen heated debate in the reproductive sciences about global trends in human sperm count. In 2017, Levine and colleagues published the largest and most methodologically rigorous meta-regression analysis to date and reported that average total sperm concentration among men from 'Western' countries has decreased by 59.3% since 1973, with no sign of halting. These results reverberated in the scientific community and in public discussions about men and masculinity in the modern world, in part because of scientists' public-facing claims about the societal implications of the decline of male fertility. We find that existing research follows a set of implicit and explicit assumptions about how to measure and interpret sperm counts, which collectively form what we term the Sperm Count Decline hypothesis (SCD). Using the study by Levine and colleagues, we identify weaknesses and inconsistencies in the SCD, and propose an alternative framework to guide research on sperm count trends: the Sperm Count Biovariability hypothesis (SCB). SCB asserts that sperm count varies within a wide range, much of which can be considered non-pathological and species-typical. Knowledge about the relationship between individual and population sperm count and life-historical and ecological factors is critical to interpreting trends in average sperm counts and their relationships to health and fertility.

29. Five Things to Consider When Developing and Adapting Water Policies and Programs in the West.

Author

Boulicault, Marion and Schempp, Adam

Abstract

Water policies and programs in the western United States have not always achieved the results originally envisioned. The surrounding circumstances, from public opinion and involvement to hydrology and administrative capacity, significantly influence policy and program effectiveness. This Article identifies and provides examples of these key external characteristics, categorizing them under five overarching factors: social and political dynamics; physical landscape; economics; law; and administrative capacity. Considering these factors, and tailoring water policies and programs accordingly, offers the best chance of achieving the desired results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

30. Peacebuilding and Natural Resources.

Author

Bruch, Carl, Boulicault, Marion, Talati, Shuchi, and Jensen, David

Abstract

The article focuses on the significance of the creation of the international environmental law to resolve post-conflict diplomacy. It mentions that former U.S. President George H. W. Bush and Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev saw an opportunity for the former adversaries to work hand-in-hand on the treaty to address climate change. It notes that scholars have acknowledged the need to address environmental and natural resource challenges as essential factors to peace, stability and security.
