Biodiversity loss and the taxonomic bottleneck: emerging biodiversity science (2006, background): “…essence of biodiversity is awe-inspiring as a scientific concept and physical reality, and has given rise to a diversity of interpretations and perspectives regarding its definition, measurement, importance, and conservation (e.g., Gaston and Spicer 2004; Hooper et al. 2005; Wilson et al. 2006).”
Is conservation triage just smart decision making? (2008, neutral): “Clearly articulating a conservation goal is fundamental for the efficient allocation of resources between conservation actions [2, 24 ].”
Six Common Mistakes in Conservation Priority Setting (2013, background): “To help make these tough choices, many conservation–prioritization schemes have been developed (Kirkpatrick 1983; Brooks et al. 2006; Wilson et al. 2006).”
Synthesis of pattern and process in biodiversity conservation assessment: a flexible whole‐landscape modelling framework (2010, neutral): “…land classes) has been to employ the species–area relationship to predict the proportion of species expected to be retained in a class as a power function of the proportion of habitat retained in that class (e.g. Ferrier, 2002; Pereira & Daily, 2006; Wilson et al., 2006; Faith et al., 2008).”
Biodiversity, Governance, and the Allocation of International Aid for Conservation (2013, background): “Theoretical methods have also been developed to allocate conservation investments efficiently at global (Bode et al. 2008; Brooks et al. 2006; Wilson et al. 2006) and finer-grained scales (Balmford et al. 2003).”
The Devil in the Detail: A Practical Guide on Designing Payments for Environmental Services (2016, methodology): “, 2005), estimating values on the basis of economic and environmental data (Wilson et al., 2006), and applying auctions to identify the minimum willingness to accept by landowners (WTA) for the inclusion of a site in a PES program (Ferraro, 2008).”
Mapping hotspots of multiple landscape functions: a case study on farmland afforestation in Scotland (2007, methodology): “In recent years there has been a strong growth in the number of publications on the use of analytical (GIS) methods for the spatial targeting of conservation efforts (e.g. Church et al. 1996; Lathrop and Bognar 1998; Ferrier 2002; Wilson et al. 2006).”
Setting Conservation Priorities (2009, background): “1 and 2), we can rationally integrate multiple criteria and devise schedules of where and when to invest conservation resources (Costello and Polasky 2004; Meir et al. 2004; Drechsler 2005; Wilson et al. 2006).”
