Where a ecologist can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a ecologist already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Ecologists carry out assessments of the health and distribution of organisms, namely people, plants, and animals, and the relationship between organisms and their environment. Ecologists usually have a specialisation area, e.g. freshwater, marine, terrestrial, fauna, and flora about which they conduct research and perform related tasks.

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a ecologist already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
