Resumo: Biomedical scientists realize that fundamental research can be ‘translated’ into clinical success. As behavioural biologists, many of us engage in translational research with a clear wildlife conservation benefit. The field of conservation behavior is explicitly translational in that it translates fundamental advances in behavioral biology to help conserve or manage wildlife populations. Focusing on some of my past work studying birds, mammals, hermit crabs, fishes, and lizards, I will illustrate how a fundamental study of behavior could be used to improve wildlife management outcomes. My goals are to stimulate others to identify translational benefits in their research and, ultimately, to help humans better coexist with wildlife
