Six Common Mistakes in Conservation Priority Setting (2013, background): “Many involved in decision-making philosophy consider contestability the formative property of a defensible prioritization process (Burgman 2005).”
Conservation biogeography – foundations, concepts and challenges (2010, background): “The systematic evaluation of risks and decisions in conservation management is a relatively new field (Burgman, 2005).”
Eliciting Expert Knowledge in Conservation Science (2012, background): “Pilot elicitations, particularly discussion among expert participants, can often resolve most instances of vagueness, ambiguity, context dependence, and underspecificity (Regan et al. 2002; Burgman 2005) that emerge when questions are first tested.”
A comparison of threats, vulnerabilities and management approaches in global seagrass bioregions (2012, background): “Expert knowledge is fundamental to conservation decision making (Burgman 2005, Martin et al 2012), especially when actions are required before uncertainties can be resolved (Sutherland 2006, McBride and Burgman 2011).”
Applying IUCN criteria to invertebrates: How red is the Red List of European butterflies? (2011, unknown): “Since self-assessment of data quality is often subjective (Burgman, 2005), it would – for the future – be preferable to assess the data quality of (national) surveys with a more objective measure, both in space and in time.”
A Guide to Understanding Social Science Research for Natural Scientists (2014, background): “A lot of risk perception research adopts subjectivist epistemology because people tend to perceive risk on the basis of very personal experiences (Burgman 2005).”
Adaptive management of natural resources--framework and issues. (2011, background): “The published literature documents many sources and types of uncertainty (e.g., Burgman, 2005; Norton, 2005).”
Fifty years of invasion ecology – the legacy of Charles Elton (2008, background): “, 2008) mirrors the widespread adoption of risk analysis and management in all spheres of human endeavour, including economics, engineering and human health (Burgman, 2005).”
The IUCN Red List of Ecosystems: Motivations, Challenges, and Applications (2015, background): “In risk assessments generally, few hazards are defined precisely (Burgman 2005).”
Risk Analysis and Bioeconomics of Invasive Species to Inform Policy and Management (2016, background): “(a) The results were driven by occurrence data (192) (unique locations outside of the Great Lakes) and 19 global climatic variables, and (b) then restricted by habitat suitability (>18◦C benthic temperature required for spawning) (A.”
Predicting the ecological consequences of environmental change: a review of the methods* (2006, background): “Other studies showed that expert opinions were affected by the format of the question, the scale upon which they were asked to present their estimates and the interests of the experts in a specific outcome (Burgman 2005).”
Assessing Risks to Wildlife Populations from Multiple Stressors: Overview of the Problem and Research Needs. (2006, background): “This is not to say that approaches to account for compensatory processes do not exist conceptually or mathematically (e.g., Burgman 2005), but rather that sophistication in their use is limited by the current understanding of when and how compensatory processes are important (Reed et al. 2002).”
Classification of ecosystem services: Problems and solutions (2007, background): “Texts examined concerning ecosystem services varied in their definition and use of key terms, which leads to one aspect of linguistic uncertainty, an important problem in environmental decision-making (Burgman, 2005).”
