• The 100th of the world’s worst invasive alien species (2014, background): “alien species over the last 40 years (Butchart et al. 2010).”
• Statistics for citizen science: extracting signals of change from noisy ecological data (2014, background): “…measures of the stock and rate of change in biodiversity are crucial for assessing species’ risk of extinction (Mace & Lande 1991), for measuring progress against international targets (Butchart et al. 2010) and testing against predictions about climate change impacts (Maclean & Wilson 2011).”
• Will climate change promote future invasions? (2013, background): “For example, in Europe the number of invasive alien species increased by 76% in the last 30 years (Butchart et al., 2010).”
• Gains in native species promote biotic homogenization over four decades in a human‐dominated landscape (2013, background): “Habitat loss, disturbance and the introduction of exotic species to new areas are causing declines in biodiversity on a global scale (e.g. McKinney & Lockwood 1999; Butchart et al. 2010).”
• Biodiversity hotspots: A shortcut for a more complicated concept (2015, background): “However, despite there being an international interest to sustain and protect biodiversity, its loss does not seem to slow down (Butchart et al., 2010).”
• An inventory of invasive alien species in China (2012, background): “…rate of introduction introduction Invasive alien species (IAS) are considered one of the key pressures on world’s biodiversity (Leprieur et al. 2008; Butchart et al. 2010; Rands et al. 2010), alter ecosystem services and processes (Hulme et al. 2009; Vilà et al. 2010, 2011), reduce native species…”
