New Paper Out! Identifying Species Conservation Strategies to Reduce Disease-Associated Declines

A new paper is out, led by Brian Gerber, which considers how to manage species threatened by emerging infectious disease. We were able to identify management strategies that reduced extinction risk by more than half for an amphibian threatened by chytridiomycosis. How did we do it? We used population models that combined empirical information and expert judgment, constructed within a decision-analytic process. Read all about it here. Congratulations Brian on the great work!
