• The European union’s 2010 target: Putting rare species in focus (2007, background): “Composite indices (e.g. Butchart et al., 2004; De Heer et al., 2005; Loh et al., 2005; Maes and Van Dyck, 2005) should be used, and the stratification should take into account the different forms of rarity, which appear to be a major characteristic of biodiversity.”
• IUCN Red List assessment and the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation: taxonomists must act now (2005, background): “It is imperative that botanists and conservationists interact to meet the global biodiversity challenge (Golding & Timberlake, 2003; Lowry & Smith, 2003; Smith & al., 2004).”
• The value of the IUCN Red List for conservation. (2006, methodology): “[4]). These impressions have sometimes become obstacles to the use of an extremely valuable conservation tool [ 5 ].”
• Adapting the IUCN Red List criteria for invertebrates (2011, background): “The IUCN Red List is arguably the most useful worldwide list of species at risk of extinction (Lamoreux et al., 2003).”
• The use of opportunistic data for IUCN Red List assessments (2015, background): “This clearly demonstrates the difference between a Red List which ‘only’ estimates the extinction risk of a given species in a focal region on the one hand and a national or regional list of conservation priorities on the other (Lamoreux et al., 2003).”
• Conservation planning and the IUCN Red List (2008, background): “The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species (www. iucnredlist.org; hereafter referred to as the IUCN Red List) is the accepted standard for species global extinction risk (Lamoreux et al. 2003, Rodrigues et al. 2006).”
• Identifying the World's Most Climate Change Vulnerable Species: A Systematic Trait-Based Assessment of all Birds, Amphibians and Corals (2013, background): “We compared species’ climate change vulnerability with their current extinction risk category on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species [18,19].”
• The Diversity of Life in African Freshwaters: Under Water, Under Threat: An Analysis of the Status and Distribution of Freshwater Species throughout Mainland Africa (2011, background): “The Red List Categories and Criteria are widely accepted as the most objective and authoritative system available for assessing the risk of a species becoming extinct (Lamoreux et al. 2003; De Grammont and Cuarón 2006; Rodrigues et al. 2006, Mace et al. 2008).”
