The white-backed woodpecker: umbrella species for forest conservation planning? (2008, background): “A number of such studies have demonstrated that using the requirements of demanding birds for conservation planning in forest could prove eVective (Watson et al. 2001; Bani et al. 2006; Dunk et al. 2006).”
Bird community responses to habitat fragmentation: how consistent are they across landscapes? (2005, background): “The landscapes are otherwise very similar, as modern clearance and modification occurred approximately at the start of the twentieth century, and each landscape has analogous remnant size and spatial pattern distributions (Freudenberger, 2001; Watson et al., 2001).”
Usefulness of the Umbrella Species Concept as a Conservation Tool (2004, background): “Among the different multi-species approaches, Lambeck’s (1997) focal species approach seems the most promising because it provides a systematic procedure for selection of umbrella species (Lambeck 1999; Watson et al. 2001; Bani et al. 2002; Brooker 2002; Hess & King 2002).”
The disproportionate value of scattered trees (2010, background): “Although specialist woodland species are restricted to extensive dense tree cover (Watson et al., 2001; Fig.”
Habitat structure and proximity to forest edge affect the abundance and distribution of forest-dependent birds in tropical coastal forests of southeastern Madagascar (2004, background): “Watson et al. / Biological Conservation 120 (2004) 311–327”
Forest and woodland stand structural complexity: Its definition and measurement (2005, background): “For these ecosystems, a number of authors have described foliage arrangement by the amount of cover in height classes corresponding to the different life forms that are present (Watson et al., 2001; Newsome and Catling, 1979); an approach which is consistent with the conclusions reached by MacArthur”
