• Using Demographic Invariants to Detect Overharvested Bird Populations from Incomplete Data (2005, background): ““Even among the named species only a minute fraction, less than 1%, have been studied beyond the essentials of habitat preference and diagnostic anatomy” (Wilson 2000).”
• Conservation and biological monitoring of tropical forests: the role of parataxonomists (2004, background): “Wilson (2000) reaffirmed that the improvement of ecological data associated with extant species is crucial for the future of conservation biology.”
• Using parasites to infer host population history: a new rationale for parasite conservation (2005, background): “Those who would argue for parasite conservation must address the fact that ‘in order to care deeply about something important it is first necessary to know about it’ (Wilson, 2000), yet we still know so little.”
• Allee Effects, Propagule Pressure and the Probability of Establishment: Risk Analysis for Biological Invasions (2006, background): “Although at present, no formal policies or guidelines require that specific techniques be used to obtain probabilities of establishment, several authors have suggested that stochastic models of population growth could be used to estimate the chance of establishment, if establishment probability is d”
• The seven impediments in invertebrate conservation and how to overcome them (2011, background): “This problem is especially prevalent in invertebrates, 326 with researchers still far from agreeing on the possible number 327 of species, estimated to be anywhere between 3 and 50 million, 328 with the most probable estimates between 5 and 30 million (Erwin et al., 2004; Wilson, 2000; but see Novot”
• Declining amphibian populations: a global phenomenon in conservation biology (2001, background): “Edward Wilson recently described conservation biology as the "intensive care ward of ecology" (WILSON, 2000), and as such a conservation biologist who lacks an up–to–date appreciation of their field is failing the prescription of this definition in inadvertently advocating inefficient, repetitive,…”
• Perceptions of Human–Carnivore Conflicts in the High Andes of Argentina (2008, background): “Ecological research is fundamental for the conservation of any species (Wilson 2000) and more data are certainly needed for us to understand the impact of human activities on carnivores in the Puna region.”
