The penguins unexpectedly emerged from the water while Michaël was conducting research, so he knelt down and remained quiet until they moved on. Michaël is an Adélie penguin specialist and noticed that his presence with the camera was not influencing the penguins' behavior in any way. The recommended distance to keep from penguins is 5 meters or more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f04bd57a1c21d767782adb8/7701c623-2967-4260-b42e-9662f5240406/jari-hytonen-8YcIWlsTLVI-unsplash.jpg Blog - How to take better photos of wild animals — with their welfare in mind - Make it stand out This photo accentuates the individuality of the gull in the center.

Left: Hypothetical curves depict how average (per-individual) welfare expectancy might decline with increasing population density, depending on whether the most aversive effects of density develop at low densities (“early” in population growth), at a constant rate (“continuous”), or only at high population densities (“late”). Right: Average welfare under each of these three scenarios is multiplied by population density to give total welfare. Total welfare below the level achieved at the maximum sustainable size (K) is shaded. Despite average welfare always being positive, the welfare-optimal population size (O) is less than the maximum sustainable population size under the “late” (O=0.75) and “continuous” (O=0.81) scenarios. Total welfare continues to increase up to K under the “early” model (O=1.00), where higher population densities have a smaller effect on average welfare. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f04bd57a1c21d767782adb8/1595136878510-EZVMIWLPRY66E0BFDVPG/image-asset.png Blog - Optimal population density: trading off the quality and quantity of welfare Figure 2. Left: As the population grows from 0 to K average welfare declines from net-positive to net-negative (red shading). A population of wild animals might appear to have very poor welfare at their natural population density, yet have the potential for good welfare at lower population density. Right: In such a case, their total welfare would be maximized by sustaining a medium-sized population, with “Late” density effects increasing the population’s optimal size and potential welfare. https://www.wildanimalinitiative.org/blog/humane-insecticides monthly 0.5 2024-05-07 https://www.wildanimalinitiative.org/blog/correcting-a-model monthly 0.5 2024-09-04 https://www.wildanimalinitiative.org/blog/what-is-fitness monthly 0.5 2024-05-07 https://www.wildanimalinitiative.org/blog/welfare-expectancy monthly 0.5 2024-05-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f04bd57a1c21d767782adb8/1595132627969-PNWK75IM0H8MTJXPA3YG/Figure%2B1.png Blog - Age-specific survivorship frames the expected value of wild animal welfare Figure 1: Assuming a fixed maximum lifespan, relative welfare expectancy is maximized when the majority of individuals live through ages characterized by above-average welfare.

Community structure generally refers to the number of species in the community and ecosystem function is the number of processes (e.g. pollination, nutrient cycling) these species provide.

Once restoration goals are set, theory-based observations and experiments are implemented and tested with explanatory and forecasting models. New insights from this monitoring are used to inform the current restoration practices, to predict the outcomes of new restoration projects, and to revise pre-existing theories. Adapting theory leads to new ideas for observations and experiments in an iterative process.

1: A boxplot showing life expectancy as a percentage of a species’ maximum lifespan for 152 populations of fish (n=16), birds (n=54), mammals (n=72) and reptiles (n=10). Life expectancies were calculated from models found in the COMADRE database (Salguero-Gomez et al. 2016), and maximum lifespans were obtained from AnAge (De Magalhães et al. 2005). Across major vertebrate classes, most individuals live to only 10-30% of the age of the oldest known individuals of their species. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f04bd57a1c21d767782adb8/1600882191874-O479G9QLQ9UXV6DGT9FO/fig-2-cause-of-death-1.jpg.001.jpeg.001.jpg Library - Why cause of death matters for wild animal welfare Figure 2: An example scheme for grading the welfare impact of different manners of death, taking into account both the severity of suffering inflicted and the length of time it takes for the animal to die.

Left: Hypothetical curves depict how average (per-individual) welfare expectancy might decline with increasing population density, depending on whether the most aversive effects of density develop at low densities (“early” in population growth), at a constant rate (“continuous”), or only at high population densities (“late”). Right: Average welfare under each of these three scenarios is multiplied by population density to give total welfare. Total welfare below the level achieved at the maximum sustainable size (K) is shaded. Despite average welfare always being positive, the welfare-optimal population size (O) is less than the maximum sustainable population size under the “late” (O=0.75) and “continuous” (O=0.81) scenarios. Total welfare continues to increase up to K under the “early” model (O=1.00), where higher population densities have a smaller effect on average welfare. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f04bd57a1c21d767782adb8/1595136878510-EZVMIWLPRY66E0BFDVPG/image-asset.png Library - Optimal population density: trading off the quality and quantity of welfare Figure 2. Left: As the population grows from 0 to K average welfare declines from net-positive to net-negative (red shading). A population of wild animals might appear to have very poor welfare at their natural population density, yet have the potential for good welfare at lower population density. Right: In such a case, their total welfare would be maximized by sustaining a medium-sized population, with “Late” density effects increasing the population’s optimal size and potential welfare. https://www.wildanimalinitiative.org/library/welfare-expectancy monthly 0.5 2025-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f04bd57a1c21d767782adb8/1595132627969-PNWK75IM0H8MTJXPA3YG/Figure%2B1.png Library - Age-specific survivorship frames the expected value of wild animal welfare Figure 1: Assuming a fixed maximum lifespan, relative welfare expectancy is maximized when the majority of individuals live through ages characterized by above-average welfare. For example, in the “bad” case, the highest-welfare periods come late in life; most individuals in such a population only experience the poorer-welfare early ages. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f04bd57a1c21d767782adb8/1595132824330-JKKH8VT3F4P3OK4P1FH6/image-asset.png Library - Age-specific survivorship frames the expected value of wild animal welfare Figure 2: Histogram of life expectancy as a proportion of the species’ theoretical lifespan.
