We describe and evaluate a method to elicit and represent such expert causal knowledge of behavioural ecology, and discuss the potential for wider application of this method to the design of knowledge-based systems for knowledge discovery in biodiversity and ecosystem informatics.}, year = {2016}, journal = {PLOS ONE}, volume = {11}, isbn = {e0166559}, url = {https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0166559}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0166559}, }
