• Has Vicariance or Dispersal Been the Predominant Biogeographic Force in Madagascar? Only Time Will Tell (2006, background): “The most recent estimates of floral endemism are well above 90% at the species level (Goodman & Benstead 2005, Schatz 2000).”
• DNA barcoding Madagascar's amphibian fauna (2014, background): “As an island country hosting both a unique fauna and flora and suffering from a high rate of deforestation, Madagascar is ranked among the top biodiversity hotspots for conservation priority (Myers et al., 2000; Goodman and Benstead, 2005; Kremen et al., 2008; Vieites et al., 2009; Aymoz et al., 201”
• IUCN Red List assessment and the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation: taxonomists must act now (2005, background): “…EXPERIENCE FROM MADAGASCAR Madagascar is recognized as a global biodiversity hotspot (Myers & al., 2000; Mittermeier & al., 2004) and a top priority for conservation, with an exceptionally rich and highly endemic biota (Goodman & Benstead, 2005) that is severely threatened (Ganzhorn & al., 2001).”
• Bats as potential suppressors of multiple agricultural pests: A case study from Madagascar (2019, background): “Madagascar holds a unique ensemble of ecosystems and wildlife that is almost unmatched in its biological uniqueness (Goodman and Benstead, 2005).”
• The endemic and non-endemic vascular flora of Madagascar updated (2013, background): “The island of Madagascar is renowned for its exceptional biodiversity, with extraordinary levels of species diversity and endemism, a consequence of over 100 million years of evolution in relative isolation (Goodman & Benstead 2005).”
• Identification of priority areas for plant conservation in Madagascar using Red List criteria: rare and threatened Pandanaceae indicate sites in need of protection (2007, background): “The Malagasy flora is characterized by high levels of diversity (12,000–14,000 species; Goodman & Benstead, 2005; Phillipson et al., 2006) and endemism (.90%; Schatz, 2001), and is threatened by unsustainable land use practices, such as shifting cultivation and fire, that have left ,10% of the…”
