Conservation Biogeography: assessment and prospect (2005, background): “We are unsure how these insights into the dynamics of range change should be fed into conservation planning (Channell & Lomolino, 2000; Araújo et al., 2002b; Ceballos & Ehrlich, 2002; Rodríguez, 2002), but it is clearly an area worthy of more research efforts by conservation biogeographers.”
Can vulnerability among British bumblebee (Bombus) species be explained by niche position and breadth (2007, background): “The pattern of peripheral loss could always be overwhelmed by a wave of extirpation anywhere within the climatic range if the levels of threats were sufficiently high (Channell and Lomolino, 2000).”
Modeling species’ geographic distributions for preliminary conservation assessments: an implementation with the spiny pocket mice (Heteromys) of Ecuador (2004, background): “At the other end of the spectrum, Destruction of natural habitats has drastically affected many species' distributions, often reducing their historical ranges to a set of small, fragmented populations (Brooks et al., 2002; Channell and Lomolino, 2000).”
Range Contractions of North American Carnivores and Ungulates (2004, background): “Although it is well known that humans have altered their environment, until recently few quantitative studies have assessed the degree of human influence, especially on a continental or global scale (Hannah et al. 1994, Dobson et al. 2000, Sanderson et al. 2002).”
By the Numbers: How is Recovery Defined by the US Endangered Species Act? (2012, background): “…empirical evidence confirm that the extinction risk is higher in small than in large populations (Frankel and Soulé 1981, Gabriel and Burger 1992, Ellstrand and Elam 1993, Blackburn and Gaston 2002), and the risk is higher to species with small than with large ranges (Gaston 1994, Channell and…”
The effects of phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation on forecasts of species range shifts under climate change. (2014, background): “High quality habitats can thus exist in both peripheral and core locations, which is consistent with the observations that species often persist at the marginal rather than at the central parts of their range (Channel & Lomolino 2000).”
The island rule and a research agenda for studying ecogeographical patterns (2006, background): “…in the most isolated reaches of the species’ historical range, either along the range periphery, in montane areas or on oceanic islands (Lomolino & Channell, 1995; Channell & Lomolino, 2000a,b; see also Safriel et al., 1994; Towns & Daugherty, 1994; Gaston, 2003; Laliberte & Ripple, 2004).”
What Does It Mean to Successfully Conserve a (Vertebrate) Species? (2011, background): “The importance of knowing a species’ historical range is again underscored by research showing that many threatened species currently exist in what might be suboptimal portions of their ranges (Channell and Lomolino 2000).”
