What can we do to narrow the S-P gap? (1) Encourage research funding/focus on smaller, less charismatic species, (2) Do threat-addressing science, (3) We found that when government scientists are included on publications they are more likely to be cited, so collaborate!.

Another key barrier to science is uptake, where we found relevant, threat-addressing science was only cited 1/3 of the time in federal recovery planning documents for endangered species (6 of 7)

Equally concerning, science conducted on endangered species only addressed a known threat to those species 55% of the time - we aren't doing relevant science enough (but we are getting better over time) (5 of 7)

We reviewed >9,000 peer-reviewed publications produced since 1950 on endangered species and found that most science is focused on large, well funded and popular species - leaving many species (like this Texas blind salamander) understudied (4 of 7)

Endangered species in the US should have a narrow gap between science and practice because the Endangered Species Act mandates "the use of best available science" in decision making (3 of 7).

Inspired by hearing of a tenured professor leaving academia because her science wasn't having an impact, we sought to investigate how often peer-reviewed science really made it into endangered species conservation (2 of 7)
