Abstract
Monitoring the impacts of anthropogenic threats and interventions to mitigate these threats is key to understanding how to best conserve biodiversity. Ecologists use many different study designs to monitor such impacts. Simpler designs lacking controls (e.g. Before–After (BA) and After) or pre-impact data (e.g. Control–Impact (CI)) are considered to be less robust than more complex designs (e.g. Before–After Control-Impact (BACI) or Randomized...
