Inhibition of Amazon Deforestation and Fire by Parks and Indigenous Lands (2006, background): “Several researchers (e.g., Redford 1992; Peres 2000a, 2000b; Robinson & Bennett 2000) have examined the effects of rural people on wild game populations and others (Terborgh 1999; Sá & Ferreira 2000; Bruner et al. 2001; Terborgh & van Schaik 2002) have analyzed the performance of uninhabited parks…”
Who does all the research in conservation biology? (2005, background): “Pimm et al. (2001) stated that ‘‘we are not so limited by our lack of knowledge as our failure to synthesise and distribute it’’, and we believe that conservation biology has a long way to go to tackle the problem of making information and research more accessible.”
A Successful Predictive Model of Species Richness Based on Indicator Species (2004, methodology): “Developing a standardized method of measuring species richness is vital for international conservation efforts (ECC 2000; Pimm et al. 2001; Roberts et al. 2002).”
Factoring species, non-species values and threats into biodiversity prioritisation across the ecoregions of Africa and its islands (2006, background): “Mapping and quantifying ecosystem processes and determining their economic value to people living on the African continent has only just started with efforts already published for South Africa (Rouget et al., 2003; Pressey et al., 2003; Cowling and Pressey, 2001; Cowling et al., 2003).”
The role of protected areas in conserving biodiversity and sustaining local livelihoods (2005, background): “Human activities have caused plant and animal extinctions to reach rates ∼1000 times greater than background rates, perhaps comparable to those experienced during the great mass extinctions of the past (18, 19).”
Developing indicators for European birds (2005, background): “…among farmland birds in north and west Europe have been driven by changes in agricultural methods and specialization (Tucker & Heath 1994; Krebs et al. 1999; Aebischer et al. 2000a; Chamberlain et al. 2000; Pitkänen & Tiainen 2001; Donald et al. 2001; Hole et al. 2002; Vickery et al. 2004).”
Comparative influence of spatial scale on beta diversity within regional assemblages of birds and butterflies (2004, background): “…species richness has been used as a variable to help prioritize conservation efforts (Scott et al., 1993; Environment Conservation Council, 2000; Pimm et al., 2001; Roberts et al., 2002) and to measure biological responses to natural disturbance processes, human land use, and alternative…”
