Ecosystems are real• Well they are actually a model – but with the good and the bad

And Conservation Biologists use This Model

They had a problem that needed to move beyond individual species at best Single species = emergency room Mass Energy and Env Affairs on flickr

Which Animal Forced the Issue

Yellowstone – satellite

Yellowstone - map

Yellowstone – ecosystem

Grizzly bear

So what are some of the ideas that I will focus on today

Main ideas of ecosystem management• Ecosystems are multi-dimensional• Boundaries are only as real as you want them to be• Manage for overall integrity• Always collect and synthesize primary data• Engage in monitoring• Inter-Agency cooperation• Humans embedded in nature• Adaptive Management – experiment and learn• Open to organizational change as fits the system• Values are more important than facts and logic

Values and Goals• You get this from social, economic, and political• Most important• Not science or quantitative but drives everything

Keystone• Keystone species – otter• Bottom of the food chain – menhanden

Who are the keystones in yourecosystem?

Who are your menhaden?

Planned (some forethought) vs NaturalExperiments (need long-termmonitoring before)

OpenShift ExampleAdaptive management and plannedexperiments

No differencedata: responses out of sentsample estimates:prop A prop B0.04800000 0.0533333395 percent confidence interval:-0.02169480 0.01102814X-squared = 0.3396, df = 1, p-value = 0.5601alternative hypothesis: two.sided Type I = saying there is a difference when there isn’t Type II = saying there is no difference when there is

What action can you turn into anexperiment?

Natural Experiment

OpenShift Example

What monitoring are you doing?

What adaptations can you make based on knowledge gained?

Take homes• Be more quant• Do experiments don’t just do• Take advantage of natural experiments• Manage your ecosystem for key indicators• Diversity is important• Take the analogy of ecosystems farther and learn from them

r vs. K life history strategies and you

Where are you on the curve?
