The use of interactive User Interfaces (UIs), including local and web-based applications built on platforms such as RShiny, has become common across all fields of science. In fisheries, wildlife, and conservation biology, interactive UIs are a powerful scientific communication tool for presenting results and promoting science accessibility. They provide scientists with a means of transforming knowledge from complex and/or abstract information into interactive visualizations. This can help drive exploratory analyses and allows those with limited scientific training or quantitative knowledge, including the general public and decision makers, to better understand the results in (near) real time. Interactive UIs can spark collaboration by facilitating data and analysis sharing between scientists and are accessible to those who may not have a level of computational skills that would otherwise be necessary for important knowledge transfer. From a practical perspective, they also address the limitations of traditional printed formats, including the number of graphics and tables that can be presented. As the relevance and use of interactive UIs continue to grow, it is increasingly important to highlight current efforts and the diversity of roles that these tools play in fisheries and wildlife science.
