• Recovery of copepod, but not cladoceran, zooplankton from severe and chronic effects of multiple stressors (2004, background): “The chemical and physical conditions of Middle Lake were substantially improved by the initial planned neutralization (Fig. 1). These benefits were prolonged by municipal land re-greening programmes in the late 1980s, programmes that included soil liming ( Lautenbach 1987 ), and by reductions in S a”
• The response of tree squirrels to fragmentation: a review and synthesis (2005, background): “Habitat fragmentation is often considered one of the greatest threats to conservation of biodiversity and is a principal cause of endangerment (Czech & Krausman, 1997; Lawler et al., 2002; Kerr & Chilar, 2004).”
• AN ASSESSMENT OF MONITORING EFFORTS IN ENDANGERED SPECIES RECOVERY PLANS (2002, background): “First, neither habitat nor exotic species were well monitored, despite the prevalence of threats to habitat and of threats from exotics among endangered species (Ehrlich and Ehrlich 1981, Ehrlich and Wilson 1991, Noss and Cooperrider 1994, Wilcove et al. 1998, Czech et al. 2000, Lawler et al. 2002).”
• How many endangered species are there in the United States (2005, background): “Under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS; Department of the Interior) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS; Department of Commerce) are charged with identifying and protecting endangered species.”
• The Effectiveness of the Endangered Species Act: A Quantitative Analysis (2005, background): “In addition, the plans have been criticized as vague, unlikely to abate threats, and lacking in biological rigor (Schemske et al. 1994, Tear et al. 1995, Clark et al. 2002, Lawler et al. 2002, Schultz and Gerber 2002, Stinchcombe et al. 2002).”
• Quantifying multiple threats to endangered species: an example from loggerhead sea turtles (2011, background): “Furthermore, the lack of knowledge regarding the relative importance of threats that each species faces leads to long “shopping lists” of management-related interventions that ultimately contribute to the failure of recovery plans (Lawler et al. 2002).”
• RELATING SIZE OF JUVENILES TO SURVIVAL WITHIN AND AMONG POPULATIONS OF CHINOOK SALMON (2004, background): “Forces that affect these factors, such as habitat degradation or nonindigenous species, have been identified as threats to many at-risk populations (Lawler et al. 2002), and thus many recovery plans focus on mitigating these forces.”
• Native invaders – challenges for science, management, policy, and society (2012, background): “Interactions with native species are often documented in species recovery plans but are not always prioritized or followed by management actions according to the magnitude of their impact (Lawler et al. 2002).”
