Applied ecology has traditionally approached management problems through a simplified,
single-species lens. Repeated failures of single-species management have led us to a new …

Ecological restoration of modified and degraded landscapes is an important challenge for
the 21st century, with potential for major gains in the recovery of biodiversity. However, there …

As the operations of autonomous systems generally affect simultaneously several users, it is
crucial that their designs account for fairness considerations. In contrast to standard (deep) …

Applied ecologists continually advocate further research, under the assumption that
obtaining more information will lead to better decisions. Value of information (VoI) analysis …

Managing ecosystems to provide ecosystem services in the face of global change is a
pressing challenge for policy and science. Predicting how alternative management actions …

Stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) or Markov decision processes (MDP) are
increasingly being used in ecology to find the best decisions over time and under …

Limited conservation resources mean that management decisions are often made on the
basis of scarce biological information. Species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly …

Under increasing environmental and financial constraints, ecologists are faced with making
decisions about dynamic and uncertain biological systems. To do so, stochastic dynamic …

Since its creation, considerable effort has been given to improving the utility of the consumer
functional response. To date, the majority of efforts have focused on improving mathematical …

Conservation of species at risk of extinction is complex and multifaceted. However,
mitigation strategies are typically narrow in scope, an artifact of conservation research that is …
