- Using local ecological knowledge to determine status and threats of the Critically Endangered Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) in Hainan, China (2016, background): “It is possible that our data reveal the beginning of a “shifting baseline” in LEK (Papworth and Rist, 2009; Turvey et al., 2010), with cross-generational transmission of LEK starting to decline in response to pangolin population decrease, although again the effect size of increasing age on pangolin…”
- Is local biodiversity declining or not? A summary of the debate over analysis of species richness time trends (2018, background): “Historical baselines are widely used by those who study global extinctions (Barnosky et al., 2011; Ceballos et al., 2015), establish goals for local conservation (Papworth et al., 2009), and who work to restore biodiversity to degraded ecosystems (Benayas et al., 2009).”
- Dealing with non-native species: what makes the difference in South America? (2012, background): “Therefore, the case of South America might be considered as a shifting baseline in the form of generational amnesia, where knowledge extinction occurs because younger generations are not aware of past biological conditions (Papworth et al. 2009).”
- Filling historical data gaps to foster solutions in marine conservation (2015, background): “Historical data gaps contribute to shifting environmental baselines or cultural amnesia, described as social or institutional losses in memory (Papworth et al., 2009).”
- Population decline assessment, historical baselines, and conservation (2010, background): “Finally, the fragmentary and sometimes contradictory nature of historical population data leads to questions about “shifting baselines” (Pauly 1995; Baum & Myers 2004; Saenz-Arroyo et al. 2005; Papworth et al. 2009) or “natural” population sizes (Willis & Birks 2006).”
- Conservation opportunities across the world's anthromes (2014, background): “Others worry that younger generations will accept increasingly degraded environments because of ‘shifting baselines’ (Papworth et al., 2008).”
