Major gaps in the distribution of protected areas for threatened and narrow range Afrotropical plants (2005, neutral): “Recent studies show that species richness of plants and animals across Africa is correlated with rainfall (Balmford et al. 2001; Mutke et al. 2001; Taplin and Lovett 2003).”
Conserving the Brazilian semiarid (Caatinga) biome under climate change (2012, methodology): “…remnants gaining climatic suitability for species will become climatically appropriate for practices of agriculture, cattle ranches, and urbanization, conservation strategies will compete with socioeconomics interests (sensu Balmford et al. 2001; and discussion on Diniz-Filho et al. 2009b).”
PRODUCTIVITY AND HISTORY AS PREDICTORS OF THE LATITUDINAL DIVERSITY GRADIENT OF TERRESTRIAL BIRDS (2003, background): “…Kerr et al. 1998, Leathwick et al. 1998, O’Brien et al. 1998, 2000, Kerr and Currie 1999, Kerr and Packer 1999, Rutherford et al. 1999, Badgley and Fox 2000, Boone and Krohn 2000, Lennon et al. 2000, Balmford et al. 2001, Rahbek and Graves 2001, van Rensburg et al. 2002, Hawkins and Porter 2003).”
Implications of collection patterns of botanical specimens on their usefulness for conservation planning: an example of two neotropical plant families (Moraceae and Myristicaceae) in Peru (2007, background): “…databases provide an invaluable source of information for analyzing the distribution and extent of species diversity (e.g., Davis et al. 1994; Williams et al. 1996; Kress et al. 1998; e.g., Funk et al. 1999; Balmford et al. 2001; Ponder et al. 2001; Jetz and Rahbek 2002; Loiselle et al. 2003).”
Unprotecting the rare species: a niche‐based gap analysis for odonates in a core Cerrado area (2011, background): “A permanent conflict between the selection of areas for conservation and the use of new areas for economic development has set the tone for conservation proposals (Balmford et al., 2001; Chown et al., 2003; Pressey et al., 2004; Loyola et al., 2008); this conflict is probably more pronounced in deve”
The coincidence of people and biodiversity in Europe (2003, background): “biodiversity, conservation priorities, endemism, Europe, human population density, species richness.”
The flora of German cities is naturally species rich (2004, methodology): “…species diversity it is vital to increase conservation activities in humandominated ecosystems, particularly those in and around cities (cf. Balmford et al., 2001; Rosenzweig, 2003; but see Dobson et al., 2001) and that a full understanding of the importance of urban biodiversity be…”
Projected Impacts of Climate and Land-Use Change on the Global Diversity of Birds (2007, background): “Substantial evidence emphasizes the importance of human land-use changes as a cause of species declines and extinctions [5,6,9–12].”
Threats and biodiversity in the mediterranean biome (2009, result): “In concurrence with previous studies (e.g. Balmford et al., 2001) we found a positive correlation between the number of threatened species and population density.”
