- Using value of information in recovery planning for imperiled species
Erica M. Christensen, Conor P. McGowan, Abigail J. Lawson · Conservation Science and Practice · 2026-10 · open access
Abstract Conservation decision making often employs predictive models to assess expected effectiveness of different management strategies. However, uncertainty in model parameters may erode confidence in model predictions and recommended actions. Value of information (VOI) can be used to determine…

- A Comparison of the Effects of Habitat Type and Human Influence on Occupancy of Freshwater Turtles in the Mississippi Embayment
Rowland Fournier, Joshua R. Ennen, Philip R. Gould et al. · Wildlife Letters · 2025-03 · open access
ABSTRACT Freshwater turtles are highly diverse in the southeastern United States, yet few studies document how diversity is distributed in agricultural and rural landscapes. Furthermore, most previous work did not compare distributions between pond and river habitats with potential differences in…
