Advances in Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, digitization, online data availability, historic legacy datasets, remote sensors and the ability to collect data on animal movements via satellite and GPS have given rise to large, highly complex datasets. These datasets could be utilized for making critical management decisions, but are often ?messy? and difficult to interpret. Basic artificial intelligence algorithms (i.e., machine learning) are powerful tools that are shaping the world and must be taken advantage of in the life sciences. In ecology, machine learning algorithms are critical to helping resource managers synthesize information to better understand complex ecological systems. Machine Learning has a wide variety of powerful applications, with three general uses that are of particular interest to ecologists: (1) data exploration to gain system knowledge and generate new hypotheses, (2) predicting ecological patterns in space and time, and (3) pattern recognition for ecological sampling. Machine learning can be used to make predictive assessments even when relationships between variables are poorly understood. When traditional techniques fail to capture the relationship between variables, effective use of machine learning can unearth and capture previously unattainable insights into an ecosystem's complexity. Currently, many ecologists do not utilize machine learning as a part of the scientific process. This volume highlights how machine learning techniques can complement the traditional methodologies currently applied in this field. 606 $aEcology  606 $aBioinformatics  606 $aComputational biology  606 $aBiostatistics 606 $aData mining 606 $aPattern recognition 606 $aEcology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19007 606 $aComputer Appl. in Life Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L17004 606 $aBiostatistics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L15020 606 $aData Mining and Knowledge Discovery$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18030 606 $aPattern Recognition$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I2203X 615 0$aEcology . 615 0$aBioinformatics . 615 0$aComputational biology . 615 0$aBiostatistics. 615 0$aData mining. 615 0$aPattern recognition. 615 14$aEcology. 615 24$aComputer Appl. in Life Sciences. 615 24$aBiostatistics. 615 24$aData Mining and Knowledge Discovery. 615 24$aPattern Recognition. 676 $a577.0285 702 $aHumphries$b Grant$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMagness$b Dawn R$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHuettmann$b Falk$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298411503321 996 $aMachine Learning for Ecology and Sustainable Natural Resource Management$92522660 997 $aUNINA
