Intervention in Ecology

Karen Kovaka (University of Pennsylvania, Virginia Tech)

Abstract:

Conservation interventions achieve their desired aims sometimes, but they also frequently deliver lackluster results. I develop one reason why: much of the evidence that ecological science produces about interventions, and an even greater proportion of the evidence that is considered high quality, is insufficient to help practitioners judge whether the interventions they are considering are likely to be effective. I advocate for a revised view of evidential quality that can help ecological science better support conservation practice.
