Our understanding of any system constitutes a model of that system. In a reintroduction, the
systems of interest are usually the source population, the reintroduced population, the …

Ignorance of spatial structures in fisheries management may lead to unexpected risks of
overexploitation. Based on the information about small yellow croaker (Larimichthys …

Population viability analysis (PVA) is an effective framework for modeling species‐and
habitat‐recovery efforts, but uncertainty in parameter estimates and model structure can lead …

Mechanism‐based ecological models are a valuable tool for understanding the drivers of
complex ecological systems and for making informed resource‐management decisions …

Aim Species distribution models (SDM s) coupled with metapopulation dynamics models
can integrate multiple threats and population‐level processes that influence species …

Complex simulation models are important tools in applied ecological and conservation
research. However sensitivity analysis of this important class of models can be difficult to …

Changes in coastal habitats due to sea-level rise provide an uncertain, yet significant threat
to shoreline dependent birds. Rising sea levels can cause habitat fragmentation and loss …

Sensitivity analysis—determination of how prediction variables affect response variables—of
individual‐based models (IBMs) are few but important to the interpretation of model output …

Population viability analysis (PVA) is widely used to assess population‐level impacts of
environmental changes on species. When combined with sensitivity analysis, PVA yields …

Population viability analysis (PVA) is a powerful tool for biodiversity assessments, but its use
has been limited because of the requirements for fully specified population models such as …
