Climate change challenges the current conservation strategy for the giant panda. (2015, background): “Networks of protected areas remain the most valuable resource for conserving the species’ persistence (Gaston et al., 2006; Hole et al., 2009; Joppa et al., 2008; Watson et al., 2014).”
Core concepts of spatial prioritisation in systematic conservation planning (2012, methodology): “Additional considerations include those of spatial scale, connectivity, and features of reserve areas (Saunders et al., 1991; Rebelo & Siegfried, 1992; Pressey & Taffs, 2001; Rodrigues et al., 2004b; Gaston et al., 2006; Cantu-Salazar & Gaston, 2010).”
Management costs for small protected areas and economies of scale in habitat conservation (2011, background): “In general, evidencing the impact that a particular management intervention has had on the ecological condition of a protected area is known to be challenging (Parrish et al., 2003; Gaston et al., 2006).”
Toward more concern for specialisation and less for species diversity in conserving farmland biodiversity (2010, background): “, 2007) or protected areas (Gaston et al., 2006), but they are not exclusively dedicated to agricultural areas.”
