Decision makers often rely on expert judgement to fill knowledge gaps, but are rarely able to engage with sufficiently large and diverse groups of specialists. To improve understanding of the perspectives of thousands of biodiversity experts worldwide, we conducted a survey and asked experts to focus on the taxa and freshwater, terrestrial, or marine ecosystem with which they are most familiar. We found several points of overwhelming consensus (for instance, multiple drivers of biodiversity loss interact synergistically) and important demographic and geographic differences in specialists’ perspectives and estimates. Experts from groups that are underrepresented in biodiversity science, including women and those from the Global South, recommended different priorities for conservation solutions, with less emphasis on acquiring new protected areas, and provided higher estimates of biodiversity loss and its impacts. This may in part be because they disproportionately study the most highly threatened taxa and habitats.}, journal={FRONTIERS IN ECOLOGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT}, author={Isbell, Forest and Balvanera, Patricia and Mori, Akira S. and He, Jin-Sheng and Bullock, James M. and Regmi, Ganga Ram and Seabloom, Eric W. and Ferrier, Simon and Sala, Osvaldo E. and Guerrero-Ramirez, Nathaly R. and et al.}, year={2022}, month={Jul} }

However, use of modeling outputs in decision-making remains uncommon. We share insights from a multidisciplinary National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center working group on technical, communication, and process-related factors that facilitate or hamper uptake of model results. We emphasize that it is not simply technical model improvements, but active and iterative stakeholder involvement that can lead to more impactful outcomes. In particular, trust- and relationship-building with decision-makers are key for knowledge-based decision making. In this respect, nurturing knowledge exchange on the interpersonal (e.g., through participatory processes) and institutional level (e.g., through science-policy interfaces across scales) represents a promising approach. To this end, we offer a generalized approach for linking modeling and decision-making.}, journal={ENVIRONMENTAL MODELLING & SOFTWARE}, author={Weiskopf, Sarah R. and Harmackova, Zuzana V and Johnson, Ciara G. and Londono-Murcia, Maria Cecilia and Miller, Brian W. and Myers, Bonnie J.

State natural resource agencies endeavor to provide high‐quality and sustainable fishing opportunities for anglers. Managers often use creel and other angler survey data to inform state‐ and waterbody‐level management efforts. Despite the broad implementation of angler surveys and their importance to fisheries management at state scales, regional and national coordination among these activities is minimal, limiting data applicability for larger‐scale management practices and research. Here, we introduce the U.S. Inland Creel and Angler Survey Catalog (CreelCat), a first‐of‐its‐kind, publicly available national database of angler survey data that establishes a baseline of national inland recreational fishing metrics. We highlight research and management applications to help support sustainable inland recreational fishing practices, consider cautions, and make recommendations for implementation.}, number={11}, journal={FISHERIES}, author={Lynch, Abigail J. and Sievert, Nicholas A. and Embke, Holly S. and Robertson, Ashley M. and Myers, Bonnie J.
