Dealing with Uncertainty in Spatially Explicit Population Models (2004, background): “There are basically three types of epistemic uncertainty in data for population models: (1) uncertainty in the formulation of the biological processes (‘structural uncertainty’), (2) uncertainty in the values of the parameters of the processes (parameter uncertainty), and (3) natural stochasticity (”
Extinction risk in cloud forest fragments under climate change and habitat loss (2013, background): “In this paper, we showed that is possible to quickly estimate the extinction risk of species in a threatened ecosystem on a large scale without embarking on a full-blown and expensive population viability analysis (Burgman & Possingham, 2000).”
Using pattern-oriented modeling for revealing hidden information: a key for reconciling ecological theory and application (2003, background): “Besides of unrealistically high expectations for the predictive power of population models (Wiegand et al. 1998, Burgman and Possingham 2000, Possingham et al. 2002), the application of theory is plagued by (1) the inherent lack and uncertainty of data, especially on endangered species, (2) but…”
Population viability analysis of Cypripedium calceolus in a protected area: longevity, stability and persistence (2005, background): “…the parameters will change over such a long time period (for example due to successional processes), and that the effects of both slow environmental changes, catastrophic events and uncertainties are complex and difficult to predict (Ludwig 1999; Burgman & Possingham 2000; Fieberg & Ellner 2000).”
The ecology of extinction: population fluctuation and decline in amphibians (2003, unknown): “…considered in terms of inbreeding depression and reduction of genetic variability in small, isolated populations (Hitchings and Beebee, 1997; Young and Clarke, 2000; Dudash and Fenster, 2000), which leads to unadaptability in the face of environmental change and thus, in the long run, to…”
Population dynamics of reintroduced forest birds on New Zealand islands (2002, background): “The issue is not whether a canned or purpose-built model should be used, or whether a simple or complex model should be used, but whether the model reflects our understanding of how the population works (Burgman & Possingham, 2000; White, 2000).”
