UCLA research on the role of behavioral ecology in improving wildlife conservation and management was cited as one of the most popular papers in a top science journal. “A systematic survey of the integration of animal behavior into conservation,” co-authored by Dan Blumstein, a member of the IoES, was named one of the top five most accessed papers in 2016 in Conservation Biology. The study was designed in a workshop that took place at the UCLA La Kretz Center for California Conservation Science field station in the Santa Monica Mountains.
