Abstract The Special Feature led by Sutherland, Dicks, Everard, and Geneletti ( Methods Ecology Evolution , 9, 7–9, 2018) sought to highlight the importance of “qualitative methods” for conservation. intention is welcome, collection makes many important contributions. Yet, articles presented a limited perspective on field, with focus objectivist instrumental methods, omitting discussion some broader philosophical methodological considerations crucial social science research. Consequently,...
Abstract Conservation practice requires an understanding of complex social‐ecological processes a system and the different meanings values that people attach to them. Mental models research offers suite methods can be used reveal these understandings how they might affect conservation outcomes. are representations in people's minds parts world work. We seek demonstrate their value assist practitioners researchers navigating choices available elicit begin by explaining some dominant...
Abstract: Many ecosystems exist primarily, or solely, on privately owned (freehold) managed (leasehold) land. In rural and semirural areas, local regional government agencies are commonly responsible for encouraging landholders to conserve native vegetation species these private properties. Yet often lack the capacity design implement conservation programs tailored landholdings instead offer one program all landholders. Landholders may elect not participate because is irrelevant their...
Developing solutions to the complex and uncertain problems facing marine coastal social-ecological ecosystems requires new forms of knowledge production integration. While progress has been made both in terms successfully producing integrated research connecting that decision-makers, a number significant challenges remain prevent routine development implementation successful practice. Based on our own experiences as social researchers working within interdisciplinary teams, we contend one...
Increasingly, citizen science data are becoming a significant source of information on the distribution biodiversity. Their value is affected by many biases, especially gaps and redundancies in data. Reducing or minimizing those biases remains an important task, with first step being understanding whether, to what extent, participants willing alter their behaviour for benefit project. We surveyed popular project focused frog biodiversity understand how motivations relate willingness change...
Abstract Knowledge exchange is a broad and consequential undertaking, analysed by diverse scholars, rapidly growing as field of academic practice. Its remit to strengthen ties between research generators users support better material outcomes for society. This review paper considers how this increasingly codified might engage with the research-practice concerns identified in Indigenous decolonial literature. We do so bringing two literature sets together analysis, noting they are not...
Abstract An opportunity represents an advantageous combination of circumstances that allows goals to be achieved. We reviewed the nature and how it manifests in different subsystems (e.g., biophysical, social, political, economic) as conceptualized other bodies literature, including behavior, adoption, entrepreneur, public policy, resilience literature. then developed a multidisciplinary conceptualization conservation opportunity. identified 3 types opportunity: potential , actors remove...
Abstract Social science has a more diverse and meaningful role to play in conservation ecology than is currently being published within this field. We reflect on our personal research experiences demonstrate how in‐field learning provided us with shared understandings of the importance broader engagement social methods, methodologies philosophy. focus value that comes from understanding not just answers, but stories ; data, meaning place critical part socio‐ecological phenomena processes....
Declining water quality and ecological condition is a typical trend for rivers streams worldwide as human demands resources increase. Managing these natural sustainably key responsibility of governments. Effective management policies require information derived from long-term monitoring evaluation. Biological assessment are critical because bioassessment integrates the biological, physical chemical features waterbody. Investment in nationally coordinated riverine Australia has almost ceased...
Farmers' pro-environmental action is substantially influenced by various stakeholders from their business and social environment. Recent studies recommend actively involving influential in agri-environmental initiatives, information or media campaigns. While it has been argued that farmers' perceptions towards these can help inform effective involvement, comprehensive assessments of remain scarce, particularly the context biodiversity-friendly farming. To understand compare stakeholder...
