ECOLOGICAL PROCESSES DRIVING BIOTIC HOMOGENIZATION: TESTING A MECHANISTIC MODEL USING FISH FAUNAS (2004, background): “…extinctions (i.e., different invasion–extinction scenarios) vary nonrandomly across the landscape with respect to existing patterns of human-caused habitat degradation and species introductions (e.g., Seabloom et al. 2002), as is seen for many taxonomic groups (e.g., Case 1996, McKinney 2001a, b).”
Establishment success of invasive ring‐necked and monk parakeets in Europe (2009, background): “However, human activity may act as a surrogate for the degree of ecosystem disturbance, as there is a strong positive relationship between human population size and the threat level of native mammals and birds (McKinney, 2001).”
Biofuels: Efficiency, Ethics, and Limits to Human Appropriation of Ecosystem Services (2010, background): “With human population increasing to reach 9 billion in 2050 (UNEP 2009) the conflict between human population and earth’s biodiversity will be exacerbated to the extent that many species will be lost by being displaced from their habitat, or having their population extremely reduced and so exposed t”
Explaining the global pattern of protected area coverage: relative importance of vertebrate biodiversity, human activities and agricultural suitability (2008, background): “Rapid population growth and global consumption of natural resources have caused widespread loss of native land cover and ecosystem functioning, and together constitute one of the greatest threats to biodiversity (Balmford et al., 2001; McKinney, 2001; Ceballos & Ehrlich, 2002; Baillie et al., 2004).”
Energy, species richness, and human population size: conservation implications at a national scale (2003, background): “In southern Africa, high population densities clearly translate into considerable landscape transformation (Table 3), as has previously been suggested for Africa and other regions (Ehrlich 1995, Bawa and Dayanandan 1997, McKinney 2001, 2002, Parks and Harcourt 2002).”
Forecasting faunal and floral homogenization associated with human population geography in North America (2006, background): “First, a wealth of empirical evidence supports strong associations between human population size and the number of threatened/extinct and introduced species (e.g., Kerr and Currie, 1995; Kirkland and Ostfeld, 1999; McKinney, 2001a; McKee et al., 2003).”
Human Population Density and Extinction Risk in the World's Carnivores (2004, background): “…to be a good proxy for threats to mammal populations (Forester and Machlis 1996; Woodroffe 2000; Brashares et al. 2001; Harcourt et al. 2001; McKinney 2001; Ceballos and Ehrlich 2002; Harcourt and Parks 2002; Parks and Harcourt 2002), and, indeed, it has been suggested that HPD be…”
