Identifying spatial components of ecological and evolutionary processes for regional conservation planning in the Cape Floristic Region, South Africa (2003, background): “…(1999b) identified ecological and evolutionary processes that operate at medium and large scales (50–50 000 ha) that enable the diversification of plant lineages, the migration of fauna and flora, and resilience to climate change in the CFR (see also Cowling & Pressey, 2001; Pressey et al., 2003).”
Conservation planning and the IUCN Red List (2008, background): “Furthermore, IUCN Red List data provide valuable information for the identification of the processes (Pressey et al. 2003) that must be considered to ensure species’ long-term persistence (e.g. interactions with other species, changes in fire regime, disruption of migratory routes).”
A blueprint for securing Brazil's marine biodiversity and supporting the achievement of global conservation goals (2020, background): “This procedure gave larger targets for habitats with smaller distributions, given that the unprotected portions of their distributions are disproportionally more affected by impacts than others (Pressey et al., 2003).”
Synthesis of pattern and process in biodiversity conservation assessment: a flexible whole‐landscape modelling framework (2010, background): “…included adjusting targeted levels of protection to account for past depletion, or future vulnerability, of entities (e.g. Allison et al., 2003; Pressey et al., 2003), and defining targets in terms of retention or restoration of entities rather than just protection (e.g. Crossman et al., 2007).”
Scarabaeine Dung Beetles (coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae): An Invertebrate Focal Taxon for Biodiversity Research and Conservation (2006, background): “…areas according to their species richness, levels of endemism, or other criteria, conservationists can more efficiently allocate their efforts and resources toward zones of critical biodiversity while directing development activities elsewhere (Margules and Pressey 2000; Pressey et al. 2003).”
How Much Is Enough? The Recurrent Problem of Setting Measurable Objectives in Conservation (2005, background): “While such rules of thumb often quickly gain broad acceptance, probably due to their simplicity and ease of application, they are inevitably met later with harsh criticism (Pressey et al. 2003, Brooks et al. 2004, Svancara et al. 2005).”
Conservation planning in a changing world. (2007, background): “Larger targets have been recommended for more threatened biodiversity features [ 9 ,21,22].”
Planning for Climate Change: Identifying Minimum‐Dispersal Corridors for the Cape Proteaceae (2005, background): “This range-size criterion could be modified as better information on the sizes of viable ranges becomes available, such as on the relative needs of sprouting and nonsprouting species with climate change (cf. Pressey et al. 2003).”
Coverage Provided by the Global Protected-Area System: Is It Enough? (2004, background): “Measures of the ecological processes necessary to allow the persistence of biodiversity are sparse, although some advances are under way (Pressey et al. 2003).”
