Five Potential Consequences of Climate Change for Invasive Species (2008, neutral): “McLachlan et al. 2007).”
Bridging the gap: a genetic assessment framework for population‐level threatened plant conservation prioritization and decision‐making (2016, background): “Further, predictive introduction of ‘climate-adapted’ genes or individuals to threatened populations or plant introductions into predicted future climate niches (assisted migration) have also been suggested as potential management strategies for adaptation to climate change (McLachlan et al., 2007; ”
Comparative genetic responses to climate in the varieties of Pinus ponderosa and Pseudotsuga menziesii: Reforestation (2014, background): “Yet, as advocated by McLachlan et al. (2007), the time is ripe for policies to be established and implemented.”
Assisted migration within species range ignores biotic interactions and lacks evidence (2017, background): “…2016 Society for Ecological Restoration doi: 10.1111/rec.12457 14 Restoration Ecology Vol. 25, No. 1, pp. 14–18 January 2017 by climate change (McLachlan et al. 2007; Vitt et al. 2009; Gray et al. 2011; Aitken & Whitlock 2013; Gallagher et al. 2015; Breed et al. 2016).”
Bromus Response to Climate and Projected Changes with Climate Change (2016, background): “If native species are unable to colonize newly suitable areas, assisted migration is one possible solution (McLachlan et al. 2007 ; Richardson et al. 2009 ; Vitt et al. 2010 ).”
Modelling future changes of habitat and fauna in the Tonle Sap wetland of the Mekong (2013, positive): “Implementation of a reforestation programme, including protection and planting, should focus on those areas where the environmental conditions (such as the flooding regime) will remain optimal in the long term, following the concept of assisted colonization (McLachlan et al. 2007; Hoegh-Guldberg et ”
From Reintroduction to Assisted Colonization: Moving along the Conservation Translocation Spectrum (2010, background): “The concept of assisted colonization has stimulated recent debate and has also spawned some confusing terminology, e.g. assisted migration (McLachlan et al. 2007) and managed relocation (Richardson et al. 2009).”
Bring the captive closer to the wild: redefining the role of ex situ conservation (2011, background): “Assisted migration may be the only way to save some of the world’s species (McLachlan et al., 2007).”
Garden plants get a head start on climate change (2008, background): “…suggests the promise of helping species avert extinction by allowing them to keep pace with climate change, but it also presents the potential for all of the risks typically associated with the introduction of exotic species, some of which ultimately become major pests (McLachlan et al. 2007).”
