Translocations: Providing Outcomes for Wildlife, Resource Managers, Scientists, and the Human Community (2008, background): “Despite this, scientists are widely criticized for their inability to effectively communicate their research to the general public and, more alarmingly, are often viewed with suspicion (Miller 2005; Meine et al. 2006; Robinson 2006).”
Food and Green Space in Cities: A Resilience Lens on Gardens and Urban Environmental Movements (2015, background): “…agriculture is disappearing from metropolitan landscapes, creating an ‘extinction of experience’ of human–nature interaction and a collective ‘forgetting’ of how to grow food (Pyle, 1978; Miller, 2005; Barthel, Folke and Colding, 2010; Barthel, Sörlin and Ljungqvist, 2010; Ernstson et al. 2010a).”
Response of arthropod species richness and functional groups to urban habitat structure and management (2010, background): “Contact with urban nature often constitutes the majority of first hand experience with nature for city residents (Miller 2005), which influences their general opinions on nature and specific views about nature conservation (Hunter and Rinner 2004).”
Challenges of Biodiversity Education: A Review of Education Strategies for Biodiversity Education. (2012, background): ““Nearly half of the world’s people live in urban areas and are increasingly disconnected from nature” (Miller, 2005).”
Insect species composition and diversity on intensive green roofs and adjacent level-ground habitats (2011, background): “Maintaining and celebrating biodiversity in cities also presents ethical and educational opportunities in “species-poor” regions (Miller 2005; Fuller et al. 2007).”
Conservation opportunities across the world's anthromes (2014, background): “interactions Miller (2005) Design the places where people live and work to provide opportunities for meaningful”
Extinction of experience: the loss of human–nature interactions (2016, background): “Conclusions Urban nature undoubtedly plays a central role in reducing the extinction of experience and in reconnecting humans with nature (Miller 2005 ; Shanahan et al. 2015 ; Soga et al. 2015 ).”
The influence of native versus exotic streetscape vegetation on the spatial distribution of birds in suburbs and reserves (2013, background): “, 2007), as well as fostering greater concern for environmental and conservation issues (Miller, 2005).”
Leverage points for sustainability transformation (2017, background): “Indeed, the ‘extinction of experience’ has been proposed as a possible causal factor underlying biodiversity decline (Miller 2005).”
Children in nature: sensory engagement and the experience of biodiversity (2018, background): “Miller (2005) contends that the global loss of biodiversity is linked to the reduced human experience of biodiversity and that action acknowledging the linkage has the potential to serve both human well-being and biodiversity conservation.”
Habitat selection of breeding riparian birds in an urban environment: untangling the relative importance of biophysical elements and spatial scale (2011, background): “Identifying the habitat requirements for maintaining species’ populations within urban areas is essential not only for species conservation (Foley et al., 2005) but for enhancing people’s experience with nature (Miller, 2005).”
Feeding birds in our towns and cities: a global research opportunity (2008, background): “Moreover, it is an almost universal practice that is likely to increase in popularity; steadily urbanising Westerners, more and more divorced from contact with nature, appear to be searching for simple and meaningful ways of interacting with wildlife (Miller 2005).”
Garden bird feeding predicts the structure of urban avian assemblages (2008, background): “, 2005), but also for nurturing interest in the natural world, and even inspiring the conservationists of the future (Pyle, 2003; Miller, 2005).”
Biodiversity loss and the taxonomic bottleneck: emerging biodiversity science (2006, background): “Therefore, they may not think of biodiversity as something to be deeply concerned about (Biodiversity Project 1998, 2002; Turner et al. 2004; Miller 2005).”
