The science and application of ecological monitoring (2010, background): “Conversely, we believe that long-term monitoring is both science and research (Nichols and Williams, 2006; Yoccoz et al., 2001).”
Integrating demographic data: towards a framework for monitoring wildlife populations at large spatial scales (2014, background): “Simply monitoring a process, whether population change or anything else, is of limited value; the information gathered needs to inform action (Nichols & Williams 2006; Lindenmayer & Likens 2010).”
Rising from Down Under: developments in subterranean biodiversity in Australia from a groundwater fauna perspective (2008, background): “Monitoring requirements need to extend beyond mere surveillance (Nichols and Williams 2006) so as to contribute to this broader understanding.”
Evaluating population connectivity for species of conservation concern in the American Great Plains (2013, positive): “More comprehensive monitoring efforts, both targeted and surveillance (Nichols and Williams 2006; McComb et al. 2010), will serve to improve both our modeling efforts and the testing of their predictions.”
Adaptive management of biological systems: A review (2013, background): “Finally, AM is dependent on well-designed monitoring programs (Nichols and Williams, 2006), but such programs are notoriously difficult to implement and maintain (Lindenmayer and Likens, 2010a).”
Monitoring in the Context of Structured Decision-Making and Adaptive Management (2008, background): “For applied problems in wildlife management, monitoring is not an end in itself but derives its purpose and value from the decision context (Nichols and Williams 2006), specifically from the nature of the decision, the management objectives, the uncertainties about how the system responds to…”
Conservation and restoration of plant–animal mutualisms on oceanic islands (2010, background): “This is almost certainly the case when omnibus surveillance monitoring is applied, i.e. monitoring that is not guided by a priori hypotheses (Nichols and Williams, 2006).”
More than just indicators: A review of tropical butterfly ecology and conservation (2010, background): “That is ‘‘unfocused” or ‘‘omnibus” surveillance monitoring can be an inefficient use of conservation resources (New, 2006; Nichols and Williams, 2006).”
Efforts going to the dogs? Evaluating attempts to re-introduce endangered wild dogs in South Africa (2007, background): “Evaluating conservation efforts, however, is generally hampered by a lack of monitoring and documentation ( Nichols & Williams 2006 ).”
