Insights for conservation from the Ecological Knowledge Games project
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Environmental conservation research requires robust methods for collecting large‐scale behavioral data and engaging diverse stakeholders in decision‐making processes. We (Y.P., A.B.D., and N.B.) created EcoKnowGames (Ecological Knowledge Games), a transdisciplinary project that develops knowledge games for conservation science and data ...

Habitat and spatial trends of U.K. wintering waterbird populations over 50 years
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The United Kingdom is an important wintering ground for millions of waterbirds. Most U.K. wintering waterbird populations increased between 1970 and the mid‐1990s, but declined thereafter. We examined U.K. population indices in 46 wintering waterbird species in two 25‐year periods, 1970–1994 and 1995–2019, to identify which waterbird groups ...

Changes in the transformative potential of action proposals in Finnish Red Lists from 1986 to 2019
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Red lists provide critical knowledge regarding biodiversity decline, especially in Finland, where broad assessments have been made regularly since the 1980s. They deliver information on the threat status of species and ecosystems, propose actions to guide conservation policy, and have the potential to spur transformative change.

, 2000 Para estudiar las estructuras se recurre a modelos más o menos simplificados más manejables que la cruda realidad. Una vez formulado un modelo nunca hay que olvidar que el modelo es en sí mismo un sistema de información en el que sólo existe lo que tiene cabida en el sistema.

Uncovering correlates of decline and critical refuges for a threatened terrestrial mammal
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Globally, the geographic ranges of numerous species are contracting. Identifying spatiotemporal patterns of threat impact can illuminate why species decline in some parts of their range but persist in others. We developed a correlative approach to identify species’ response thresholds and locate ecological refuge areas associated with ...

Modelos de comportamiento y modelos teóricos
Estudios sobre las Culturas Contemporáneas, 1995 In this article the author outlines the theoretical and methodological differences that exist in the ways of conceptualizing logico-mathematical and empirical science. In describing types of models of behavior as theoretical constructions, the author establishes that in the ethno-anthropological field the concept of a model assumes at least two values:

Institutional lessons from the Nordic management model
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract To improve wildlife management outcomes, in terms of reaching management goals and increasing legitimacy, Nordic countries have developed institutional systems involving stakeholders that aim for a more inclusive and participatory model.

Translocation effects on regional and local population viability and connectivity
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Translocations and reintroductions aim to improve the viability of isolated populations and promote connectivity for large carnivores. However, there is no established framework for assessing their success. We used the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in western and central Europe to assess the impact of translocations on the viability of six ...
