A multi-scaled analysis of avian response to habitat amount and fragmentation in the Canadian dry mixed-grass prairie (2006, background): “Temperate grasslands have undergone some of the highest rates of habitat conversion of any biome world-wide, while being afforded the least protection (Hoekstra et al. 2005).”
A global assessment of endemism and species richness across island and mainland regions (2009, background): “Past habitat loss was assessedusingareclassifiedversionoftheGlobalLandCover2000dataset (72,73) as the percentage of total land area classified as cultivated or managed, mosaics includingcropland,andurbanareas.”

Status of a protected area system in the Hindu Kush-Himalayas: An analysis of PA coverage (2008, background): “The majority of conservation priorities reflect the view of the HKH as a key region of biodiversity (Bryant et al. 1997; Mittermeier et al. 1997, 2004; Olson and Dinerstein 2002; Myers et al. 2000; Eken et al. 2004; Hoekstra et al. 2005; Ricketts et al. 2005; Langhammer et al. 2007).”

Predicting extinction risk of butterflies and moths (Macrolepidoptera) from distribution patterns and species characteristics (2007, background): “…larger proportion of the day-active species are associated with vanishing habitat types (i.e., semi-improved grasslands and especially dry unfertilised grasslands) (van Swaay et al. 1999; Hoekstra et al. 2005), and butterflies might be less mobile compared with night-active species (Nieminen 1996).”
The Palaearctic steppe biome: a new synthesis (2016, background): “In consequence the percentage of pristine and protected habitat is lower in temperate grasslands than in any other major ecosystem type (Henwood 1998; Hoekstra et al. 2005).”
Emerging issues and challenges in conservation of biodiversity in the rangelands of Tanzania (2013, background): “Indeed, the declining European semi-natural grasslands are associated with a unique set of species that since long has been adapted to these habitats (Hoekstra et al. 2005).”
Conservation science: a 20‐year report card (2006, methodology): “For each of the biomes of the © The Ecological Society of America www.frontiersinecology.org world (Figure 1a), Hoekstra et al. (2005) calculated a conservation risk index (CRI) value based on the ratio of the percentage of converted land to the percentage of protected land within each biome.”
Spontaneous succession in limestone quarries as an effective restoration tool for endangered arthropods and plants (2010, background): “Given the rapid losses of temperate biodiversity (e.g. Hoekstra et al. 2005; Wenzel et al. 2006), and given that nutrient-poor and disturbance-dependent biotopes such as grasslands, heaths and rocks are among those most seriously affected, the prevalence of technical reclamation schemes over…”
