Reconciling approaches to biogeographical regionalization: a systematic and generic framework examined with a case study of the Australian continent (2007, background): “Biogeographical regions are used for various purposes, including systematic conservation planning (Olson & Dinerstein, 1998; Olson et al., 2001; Whittaker et al., 2005).”
Defying the curse of ignorance: perspectives in insect macroecology and conservation biogeography (2010, background): “Macroecology has been growing rapidly in the last 20 years, and recently it has also been recognised that there may be advantages if conservation strategies are based on broad-scale data, stimulating the development of the new field of ‘conservation biogeography’ (Whittaker et al., 2005).”
Rarest of the rare: advances in combining evolutionary distinctiveness and scarcity to inform conservation at biogeographical scales (2010, background): “A new discipline of conservation biogeography was soon to emerge, growing rapidly and in 2005 provided with a dedicated platform in the newly titled journal of Diversity and Distributions: A Journal of Conservation Biogeography (Whittaker et al., 2005).”
Species’ Distribution Modeling for Conservation Educators and Practitioners (2010, background): “This problem has two key elements, which may be termed the ‘Linnean’ and ‘Wallacean’ shortfalls (Whittaker et al., 2005).”
The diversification of eastern South American open vegetation biomes: Historical biogeography and perspectives (2011, background): “Biogeography of South American open biomes: status of the field Information regarding the spatial distribution of any biota and its biogeographical relationships constitutes the base for biodiversity conservation planning (Margules and Pressey, 2000; Whittaker et al., 2005).”
A global assessment of endemism and species richness across island and mainland regions (2009, background): “While many theoretical arguments underpin the strengths of algorithm-based assessments (2, 8, 10, 11), they require detailed distribution data that are only available for few taxonomic groups—almost exclusively terrestrial vertebrates (6, 9, 12–15), on which systematic conservation planning has thus”
Conservation biogeography of ecologically interacting species: the case of the Iberian lynx and the European rabbit (2009, background): “We believe the present study is an example of conservation biogeography sensu Whittaker et al. (2005), since the context, scale, methods, results and conservation proposals are all of a biogeographical nature.”
Bird functional diversity enhances insectivory at forest edges: a transcontinental experiment (2014, background): “…is a need for more experimental biogeography and landscape ecology to decipher macroecological patterns and their underlying processes (Brown, 1999; Whittaker et al., 2005; Jenerette & Shen, DOI: 10.1111/ddi.12132 ª 2013 John Wiley & Sons Ltd http://wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/ddi 149 Diversity…”
A macroecological perspective of diversity patterns in the freshwater realm (2011, background): “These absent or reversed latitudinal gradients may be related to the Linnean and Wallacean shortfalls that are pervasive at low latitudes (Whittaker et al., 2005; Bini et al., 2006).”
