THE ROLE OF HYBRIDIZATION AND THE UNITED STATES FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE BIOLOGISTS’ DISCRETION IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT
TLDR
The Endangered Species Act requires that the best available scientific and commercial data be used to enable the protection of critically imperiled species from extinction and preserve biodiversity, but the interpretation of scientific data can be uncertain and controversial.
Factors Associated with Listing Decisions under the U.S. Endangered Species Act
TLDR
Evaluated the relationship, if any, of species characteristics, population metrics, threat level, and potential non-biological indicators to listing decisions under the ESA and the importance of comprehensive data to understanding species distribution and abundance to facilitate more informed listing decisions.
