Adapting the IUCN Red List criteria for invertebrates (2011, methodology): “…set priorities for protection, measure site irreplaceability and vulnerability, influence environmental policies and legislation and evaluate and monitor the state of biodiversity (Gärdenfors et al., 2001; Rodrigues et al., 2006; Baillie et al., 2008; Mace et al., 2008; Martín-López et al., 2011).”
Identification of priority areas for plant conservation in Madagascar using Red List criteria: rare and threatened Pandanaceae indicate sites in need of protection (2007, methodology): “Application of the IUCN Red List criteria, a widely recognized tool for identifying threatened species, offers a powerful method to identify priority sites for protection by providing information on the conservation status of species in the wild (Rodrigues et al., 2006).”
Red List Indices to measure the sustainability of species use and impacts of invasive alien species (2008, methodology): “This is generally recognised to be the most credible and authoritative system available for classifying species in terms of their risk of global extinction (de Grammont and Cuarón 2006, Rodrigues et al. 2006).”
Conservation planning and the IUCN Red List (2008, background): “…source of species’ threat status with a remit beyond the cause of a few handpicked species, but as a growing data mine, which has improved its utility in conservation, including species-based conservation, policy and management, biodiversity evaluation, and monitoring (Rodrigues et al. 2006).”
Giant Clams (Bivalvia: Cardiidae: Tridacninae): A Comprehensive Update of Species and their Distribution, Current Threats and Conservation Status (2017, background): “The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species draws attention to species at risk of extinction and promotes their conservation (Collar 1996), and is frequently used to guide the management of resources (Rodrigues et al. 2006).”
Prominent role of invasive species in avian biodiversity loss (2009, background): “Birds are a particularly appropriated taxon for analyses of extinction risk because they represent one of the few taxa for which all endangered species and drivers of decline are reasonably well-known (Rodrigues et al., 2006; Butchart, 2008).”
The seven impediments in invertebrate conservation and how to overcome them (2011, background): “Without legal value but with political significance, mechanisms such as the IUCN Red List are powerful tools for lobbying and this use should increase (Mace et al., 2008; Rodrigues et al., 2006).”
Explaining the global pattern of protected area coverage: relative importance of vertebrate biodiversity, human activities and agricultural suitability (2008, background): “…endemism and endangerment are uniform around the world (Chape et al., 2005; Hoekstra et al., 2005; Ricketts et al., 2005; Lamoreux et al., 2006; Rodrigues et al., 2006) it is important to understand where protected areas have been established and how they relate to patterns of biodiversity.”
Quantitative criteria for species delimitation (2010, background): “Nonetheless, it has proved to be extremely useful, and is growing more robust over time with the refinement of criteria (Rodrigues et al. 2006).”
