SUMMARY:Why conservation biology needs mathematics
DESCRIPTION:The term conservation biology tends to conjure up images of fie
 ld research in remote locations and weathered-looking scientists searching
  for endangered species\, but chalkboards\, computers\, and – yes - math
 ematics are important tools for the modern-day conservation biologist. Eco
 logical data are often patchy and riddled with error\, making it difficult
  to draw conclusions about the factors driving change in wildlife populati
 ons and the environment. Mathematical models can describe the mechanisms t
 hat may underlie patterns in ecological data and increase our power to tes
 t alternative hypotheses\, predict future change\, and evaluate the potent
 ial outcomes of different management scenarios. In an age where government
  and industry demand quantitative evidence before action\, mathematics may
  be the key to conservation.
