Integrated modelling is an increasingly useful modelling approach in ecological research and management as it provides a framework within which data from multiple sources (e.g. sites, studies) can be used to inform parameters or predictions of a single model. With advances in integrated modelling techniques, the ecological research and management communities are poised to exploit the ecological data revolution. Integrated models are increasingly used to inform decisions ranging from single species (e.g., Integrated Population Models; IPMs) to whole-system and natural resource management (e.g., Multi-resource Analysis). Given the statistical advances in integrated population models in recent years and the amount of monitoring and experiment data amassed, IPMs have great potential in decision making. Despite advances in the modelling approaches, these techniques have yet to be adopted by the broader ecological research and management communities. This session focuses on the utility of integrated models in ecological management and the decision-making process. Aimed at bridging science and decision making, this session aims to spark discussion among ecological modellers and practitioners, specifically with respect to integrated modelling techniques.
