Usefulness of the Umbrella Species Concept as a Conservation Tool (2004, methodology): “The focal species selection process has been applied in a few case studies in Australia (Lambeck 1999; Brooker 2002), Italy (Bani et al. 2002), and the United States (Hess & King 2002), but these investigations did not include evaluation of the umbrella function of the selected species.”
A shade tolerance index for common understory species of northeastern North America (2007, methodology): “Using the opinions of experts As with Baker (1949) and, more recently, Hess and King (2002), a questionnaire was sent to five expert plant ecologists who have extensive field experience with most plants found in the northeastern North American forest.”
On threats analysis approach applied to a Mediterranean remnant wetland: Is the assessment of human-induced threats related to different level of expertise of respondents? (2008, methodology): “This method is appropriate in order to evaluate those threats that are empirically very little known, have different metrics, are comparable with difficulty and thus the potential degree of uncertainty is very high (e.g., see Hess and King 2002).”
The Delphi technique in ecology and biological conservation: applications and guidelines (2015, methodology): “Hess & King (2002) used the Delphi technique as an expertbased approach to develop a plan for wildlife conservation.”
