Mechanistic models (MMs) have served as causal pathway analysis and 'decision-
support'tools within animal production systems for decades. Such models quantitatively …

Marine environmental monitoring is undertaken to provide evidence that environmental
management targets are being met. Moreover, monitoring also provides context to marine …

Multispecies models have existed in a fisheries context since at least the 1970s, but despite
much exploration, advancement, and consideration of multispecies models, there remain …

Participatory modelling increases the transparency of environmental planning and
management processes and enhances the mutual understanding among different parties …

Sustainable management and conservation of the world's oceans requires effective
monitoring, evaluation, and reporting (MER). Despite the growing political and social …

Aquatic ecosystems are increasingly threatened by multiple human-induced stressors
associated with climate and anthropogenic changes, including warming, nutrient pollution …

This paper outlines typical terminology for modeling and highlights key historical and
forthcoming aspects of mathematical modeling. Mathematical models (MM) are mental …

Management strategies to address the challenges associated with invasive species are
critical for effective conservation. An increasing variety of mathematical models offer insight …

Numerical models of ecological systems are increasingly used to address complex
environmental and resource management questions. One challenge for scientists …

Protection of highly mobile species and shifting habitats is a practical challenge for
conservation in both marine and terrestrial systems, particularly in light of the acceleration of …
