Understanding conflict among experts working on controversial species: A case study on the Australian dingo
Funder: Australian Dingo Foundation; Id: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100007400Funder: Australian Government Research Training Program scholarshipExpert elicitation can be valuable for informing decisionâmakers on conservation and wildlife management issues. To date, studies eliciting expert opinions have primarily focused on identifying and building consensus on key issues. Nonetheless, there are drawbacks of a strict focus on consensus, and it is important to understand and emphasize dissent, too. This study adopts a dissensusâbased Delphi to understand conflict among dingo experts. Twentyâeight experts participated in three rounds of investigation. We highlight disagreement on most of the issues explored. In particular, we find that disagreement is underpinned by what we call âconflict over valuesâ and âconflict over evidence.â We also note the broader role played by distrust in influencing such conflicts. Understanding and recognizing the different elements shaping disagreement is critical for informing and improving decisionâmaking and can also enable critique of dominant paradigms in current practices. We encourage greater reflexivity and open deliberation on these aspects and hope our study will inform similar investigations in other contexts
