Citations in the corpus

• Conservation Biogeography: assessment and prospect (2005, background): “Although evidence of the ability of environmentaland assemblage-based models to represent biodiversity at a rate higher than expected by chance is currently lacking (Araújo et al., 2003), the approach is still strongly advocated by its proponents (e.g. Faith, 2003; Faith et al., 2004).”
• An ED-based Protocol for Optimal Sampling of Biodiversity (2005, methodology): “These results are consistent with the intuitive idea that randomization is largely irrelevant where the principle survey objective is the detection of the maximum diversity possible (Gillison and Brewer 1985; Wessels et al. 1998; Faith 2003).”
• Using the Species-Area Relationship to Set Baseline Targets for Conservation (2004, methodology): “D. P. Faith (personal communication) has proposed a method for calculating z-values using the environmental diversity index (Faith 2003).”
• Identifying refugia from climate change (2010, background): “This could create higher environmental diversity (Faith & Walker, 1996; Faith, 2003), and therefore lead to higher landscape-scale biological diversity if new species that prefer warmer conditions are able to disperse to the area.”
• Capturing biodiversity: selecting priority areas for conservation using different criteria (2005, background): “For this reason, ED cannot be strongly advocated as a surrogacy strategy (for debate see also Araujo et al. 2003; Faith 2003).”
• Species, Data, and Conservation Planning (2004, methodology): “One is the environmental diversity (ED) method (Faith & Walker 1996; Faith 2003) applied to select areas that are complementary in a multidimensional environmental space.”
