- Distribution, status, and conservation needs of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) in Lampung Province, Sumatra, Indonesia (2005, background): “E-mail addresses: simon.hedges@zen.co.uk, shedges@wcs.org (S. Hedges). but many populations are threatened by habitat loss, poaching, and direct conflict with humans (Santiapillai and Jackson, 1990; Sukumar, 1992; Duckworth and Hedges, 1998; Blake and Hedges, 2004).”
- Marine turtles and IUCN Red Listing: A review of the process, the pitfalls, and novel assessment approaches (2008, background): “This is also true of large terrestrial flagship vertebrates such as Asian elephants that have been widely described as endangered (e.g. Vidya et al., 2005) despite uncertainty in population assessment approaches and the resulting estimates (Blake and Hedges, 2004).”
- Nutritional ecology of elephants in Kibale National Park, Uganda, and its relationship with crop-raiding behaviour (2006, background): “Rainfall and frequency of droughts is thought to influence population dynamics of savanna elephants (Armbruster & Lande 1993, Lindsay 1994), but other than poaching and habitat availability (Blake & Hedges 2004), factors important in affecting the health of forest elephants are largely unknown.”
- Megagardeners of the forest - the role of elephants in seed dispersal (2011, background): “Here, we treat them as separate taxa on ecological grounds following Blake and Hedges (2004), who suggested that African forest elephants and Asian elephants living in forests are more ecologically equivalent than African forest and savannah elephants.”
- Range-wide declines of a key Neotropical ecosystem architect, the Near Threatened white-lipped peccary Tayassu pecari (2011, background): “…range, diversity of habitats and national and cultural contexts, creates a broad set of rationales for conserving the species, analogous to other large-bodied herbivores such as bison Bison bison (Sanderson et al., 2008) and elephants Loxodonta africana (Alexander, 2000; Blake & Hedges, 2004).”
