New opportunities and challenges for conservation evidence synthesis from advances in natural language processing [PDF]
Abstract Addressing global environmental conservation problems requires rapidly translating natural and conservation social science evidence to policy‐relevant information. Yet, exponential increases in scientific production combined with disciplinary differences in reporting research make interdisciplinary evidence syntheses especially challenging ...

Interdisciplinarity through internationality: Results from a US–Mexico graduate course bridging computational and plant science [PDF]
Abstract Interdisciplinarity is used to integrate and synthesize new research directions between scientific domains, but it is not the only means by which to generate novelty by bringing diverse perspectives together. Internationality draws upon cultural and linguistic diversity that can potentially impact interdisciplinarity as well.

Linking life history to landscape for threatened species conservation in a multiuse region
Abstract Landscape‐scale conservation that considers metapopulation dynamics will be essential for preventing declines of species facing multiple threats to their survival. Toward this end, we developed a novel approach that combines occurrence records, spatial–environmental data, and genetic information to model habitat, connectivity, and patterns of ...

Abstract As ecological data and associated analyses become more widely available, synthesizing results for effective communication with stakeholders is essential. In the case of wildlife corridors, managers in human‐dominated landscapes need to identify both the locations of corridors and multiple stakeholders for effective oversight.

Using interview surveys and multispecies occupancy models to inform vertebrate conservation
Abstract Species distribution data are an essential biodiversity variable requiring robust monitoring to inform wildlife conservation. Yet, such data remain inherently sparse because of the logistical challenges of monitoring biodiversity across broad geographic extents.
