The importance of temporal heterothermy in bats (2014, background): “Climate change already appears to be linked to the recent extinction of at least one bat species (i.e. the Christmas Island pipistrelle Pipistrellus murrayi; Martin et al., 2012).”
Climate change vulnerability assessment of species (2018, background): “Practitioners typically face real-world limitation of resources (e.g., time, money, data, expertise), leaving as options only less intensive and less detailed approaches, which nonetheless produce valuable outputs (Martin et al., 2012; Martin, Camaclang, Possingham, Maguire, & Chadès, 2017).”
Panda Downlisted but not Out of the Woods (2018, background): “We know that swift and early intervention by the Chinese government and the international conservation community was vital, a lesson learned with other species (Martin et al. 2012).”
Use of expert knowledge to elicit population trends for the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) (2016, background): “The use of expert knowledge is growing as a tool for synthesizing diverse sources of information into a reliable representation of the current state of scientific knowledge, including its uncertainties when elicited with the same level of rigour provided in the collection and use of empirical data (”
A practical guide to structured expert elicitation using the IDEA protocol (2018, background): “These include difficulties experts face in expressing judgements in quantitative terms (Martin et al., 2012a), the cost and logistics associated with faceto- face elicitations of more than one or two experts (Knol et al., 2010; Kuhnert et al., 2010), as well as challenges experienced by experts in…”
Insular bats and research effort: a review of global patterns and priorities (2017, background): “This occurred in the case of the endemic Christmas Island pipistrelle Pipistrellus murrayi, declared extinct in 2009 (Fisher et al. 2011, Martin et al. 2012, Ng et al. 2014).”
Financial Costs of Meeting Global Biodiversity Conservation Targets: Current Spending and Unmet Needs (2012, background): “Resolving the ongoing conservation funding crisis is urgent; it is likely that the longer that investments in conservation are delayed, the more the costs will grow (23, 33) and the greater will be the difficulty of successfully meeting the targets (6, 34).”
Marine mammal conservation: over the horizon (2021, background): “Typically they are only considered when extinction risk is high (Martin et al. 2012, Canessa et al. 2016).”
Hollow futures? Tree decline, lag effects and hollow‐dependent species (2013, background): “Not only does waiting to act increase extinction risk and reduce future response options (Martin et al., 2012), but it is also is likely to cost more (i.e. more trees will need to be regenerated) and will potentially be less successful because of synergistic processes affecting small populations,…”
