Social Science Perspectives on RAD Webinar
RAD is intended to help managers intentionally expand their thinking beyond traditional conservation approaches. Recent interdisciplinary and cross-agency research has integrated the social sciences to explore how and why managers are making RAD decisions.

Unexpected Lessons from Invasive Adirondack Smallmouth Bass
Unexpected Lessons from Invasive Adirondack Smallmouth BassDecades of invasive smallmouth bass removal from the Adirondacks resulted in a novel discovery of rapid evolution. Despite the absence of a clear physiological adaptation pathway, intensive manual removal produced a larger population of the invasive predatory fish, growing faster and maturing earlier.

Climate Refugia: A Buffer from Climate Change (AD)
Climate Refugia: A Buffer from Climate Change (AD)Climate refugia are places that may be buffered from and likely won’t change as much under climate change. Focusing research on these areas may offer resource managers more conservation and management options.
