Supporting Red List threat assessments with GeoCAT: geospatial conservation assessment tool (2011, methodology): “GeoCAT presently uses two algorithms to calculate EOO and the AOO (after Willis et al. 2003).”
Identification of priority areas for plant conservation in Madagascar using Red List criteria: rare and threatened Pandanaceae indicate sites in need of protection (2007, methodology): “In calculating EOO ‘disjunctions or discontinuities within the overall range of a taxon’ may be excluded (IUCN & SSC, 2004), an idea explored but ultimately rejected by Willis et al. (2003) because an element of uncertainty is introduced.”
The sizes of species’ geographic ranges (2009, methodology): “The single biggest challenge in measuring AOO is that the outcome is heavily dependent on the spatial resolution both of the distribution data and the method of measurement employed (Gaston 1991, 2003; Keith et al . 2000; Willis, Moat & Paton 2003 ).”
How many herbarium specimens are needed to detect threatened species (2011, unknown): “Georeferenced herbarium specimens can be used to model features such as species range (Willis et al., 2003) and population structure (Rivers et al.”
Subpopulations, locations and fragmentation: applying IUCN red list criteria to herbarium specimen data (2010, methodology): “…2001); a 10 9 10 km2 grid is often used in AOO estimates in conservation assessments from Missouri Botanical Garden (Schatz 2000; Good et al. 2006; Callmander et al. 2007); and a ‘‘1/10th max’’ grid is used in AOO estimates in conservation assessments at RBG Kew (Willis et al. 2003; Moat 2007).”
Geographic distribution patterns and status assessment of threatened plants in China (2008, background): “123 Fiona et al. 2003 ). These records, however, suffer spatial and temporal shortcomings when mapping the geographic range of species, mainly due to uneven historical sampling techniques (Townsend Peterson and Watson 1998).”
North American History of Two Invasive Plant Species: Phytogeographic Distribution, Dispersal Vectors, and Multiple Introductions (2006, unknown): “Despite these biases, herbarium records have been used to define conservation needs (MacDougall et al. 1998), document species changes (Willis and Moat 2003), and recreate species invasions at various spatial scales (Stuckey 1980; Reznicek and Catling 1987; Pysek 1991; Pysek and Prach 1995; Toney…”
