Despite much work on social media, analysis of individual influence campaigns, messages, and platforms, we lack the tools and techniques and fundamental research to effectively understand the information flows and their effects on the dynamics of the …

Proof of concept study using GPS-based tracking data to build agent-based models of visitors’ off-trail behavior in nature-based tourism settings

Spatial components of visitor behavior in nature-based tourism settings have the potential to influence both the biophysical environmental and recreational experience. Previous efforts to model visitor spatial behavior in these settings have largely …

Taking a moment to measure networks—an approach to species conservation

Context Network-theoretic tools contribute to understanding real-world system dynamics, such as species survival or spread. Network visualization helps illustrate structural heterogeneity, but details about heterogeneity are lost when summarizing …

Harnessing the benefits of diversity to address socio-environmental governance challenges

Solving complex problems, from biodiversity conservation to reducing inequality, requires large scale collective action among diverse stakeholders to achieve a common goal. Research relevant to meeting this challenge must model the interaction of …

Conceptualizing ecosystem services using social–ecological networks

Social–ecological networks (SENs) represent the complex relationships between ecological and social systems and are a useful tool for analyzing and managing ecosystem services. However, mainstreaming the application of SENs in ecosystem service …

Landscape Engineering Impacts the Long-Term Stability of Agricultural Populations
