Journal ArticleDOI
Buying into conservation: intrinsic versus instrumental value
TL;DR: After examining what intrinsic value is supposed to be, it is argued that it cannot guide the decision making conservation requires and an adequate ethical basis for conservation must do this, and instrumental value does it best.
Journal ArticleDOI
The principle of complementarity in the design of reserve networks to conserve biodiversity: a preliminary history.
James Justus,Sahotra Sarkar +1 more
TL;DR: An assessment is made of the extent to which the principle of complementarity transformed the practice of conservation biology by introducing new standards of rigor and explicitness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of Environmental Surrogates for the Selection of Conservation Area Networks
Sahotra Sarkar,James Justus,Trevon Fuller,Christopher D. Kelley,Justin Garson,Michael Mayfield +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied four methods to assess the extent to which environmental surrogates can represent biodiversity components: surrogacy graphs, marginal representation plots, Hamming distance function, and Syrjala statistical test for spatial congruence.
Journal ArticleDOI
The conservation game
TL;DR: It is shown how several real-world conservation problems can be modeled game-theoretically, and the kind of adaptive management provided by the game- theoretic approach therefore complements existing adaptive management methodologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
X-Phi and Carnapian Explication.
Joshua Shepherd,James Justus +1 more
TL;DR: X-phi complements Rudolf Carnap’s underappreciated methodology for concept determination, explication, and shows how x-phi assisted explication can apply to normative domains.
