Habitats and Resources: The Need for a Resource-based Definition to Conserve Butterflies (2006, background): “The data vary in reliability and development of the approach must necessarily take on board the considerations (hierarchy in information quality) in evidence-based conservation (Pullin and Knight 2001; Sutherland et al. 2004 ).”
The nature and role of experiential knowledge for environmental conservation (2006, background): “2004) and to ensure that untested practices are not widely adopted simply because they have been used previously (Sutherland et al. 2004).”
Environmental correlates of plant and invertebrate species richness in ponds (2011, background): “Concepts such as niche overlap (Leibold and McPeek 2006), habitat heterogeneity (both temporal and spatial) (Tews et al. 2004) and area (Lomolino 2000) can be quantified and manipulated experimentally to investigate within and between habitat richness.”
Are Socioeconomic Benefits of Restoration Adequately Quantified? A Meta‐analysis of Recent Papers (2000–2008) in Restoration Ecology and 12 Other Scientific Journals (2010, background): “…found in conservation science (Lawler et al. 2006), as evidenced by the growing call for a more rigorous, well-documented scientific process, not only in the way conservation and ecosystem management decisions are taken, but also in the measurement of their outcomes (Sutherland et al. 2004).”
The influence of native versus exotic streetscape vegetation on the spatial distribution of birds in suburbs and reserves (2013, methodology): “We used the 50-m-radius point count method to record all birds seen or heard within a 10-min period (Sutherland et al., 2004a).”
Efforts going to the dogs? Evaluating attempts to re-introduce endangered wild dogs in South Africa (2007, background): “The emerging field of evidence-based conservation holds promise for predicting which management actions are likely to be most effective in achieving conservation goals (Pullin & Knight 2001, 2003; Sutherland et al. 2004).”
Non-indigenous ungulates as a threat to biodiversity (2009, background): “Such information would help to ensure that evidence-based conservation (see Sutherland et al., 2004) can be implemented for a group that continues to engender substantial social, economic and conservation interest.”
From Publications to Public Actions: When Conservation Biologists Bridge the Gap between Research and Implementation (2010, background): “…(e.g., systematic conservation planning, Vane-Wright et al. 1991, Margules and Pressey 2000; evidence-based conservation, Pullin and Knight 2003, Sutherland et al. 2004, Pullin and Stewart 2006), the discipline must recognize that a diversity of personal scientific attitudes and positioning is…”
Incentives to Sustain Forest Ecosystem Services: A Review and Lessons for REDD (2009, background): “These brief reviews have highlighted the general absence of monitoring and critical evaluation – a problem in many conservation and development projects (Sutherland et al. 2004; Ferraro and Pattanayak 2006).”
Two roles for ecological surrogacy: Indicator surrogates and management surrogates (2016, background): “As scientists, we have an 261 implicit bias toward evidence-based approaches (e.g. Sutherland et al 2004) and this may blind 262 us to policy and public communication benefits of management surrogates that can be difficult to 263 quantify.”
The identification of 100 ecological questions of high policy relevance in the UK (2006, background): “uk) have been designed to gather together the evidence from applied science in a form that is accessible to end users (Sutherland et al. 2004).”
