Abstract:
The assimilation of population models into the ecological risk assessment (ERA) process has been hindered by their range of complexity, uncertainty, resource investment, and data availability, and translating model outputs into endpoints that can be used by risk assessors has been challenging. We present Population modeling Guidance, Use, Interpretation, and Development for Ecological Risk Assessment (Pop‐GUIDE) as a comprehensive approach for the development of population models for ERA that is applicable across regulatory statutes, assessment objectives, and taxa. Pop‐GUIDE uses the trade‐offs associated with the generality, realism, and precision of an assessment to guide the development of a population model commensurate with ERA protection goal using a multiphase process. Two case studies demonstrate the application of Pop‐GUIDE for fish and the pesticide chlorpyrifos under different assessment objectives.
