• Conservation and restoration of plant–animal mutualisms on oceanic islands (2010, background): “However, the use of functional but alien substitute species is a controversial issue, with several scientists arguing caution (Caro, 2007), or being in direct opposition (Cajal and Tonni, 2006; Rubenstein et al., 2006), so comparison between native and alien functional traits (e.”
• From Reintroduction to Assisted Colonization: Moving along the Conservation Translocation Spectrum (2010, background): “Although considered extreme (Rubenstein et al. 2006; Caro 2007), the notion of Pleistocene rewilding has stimulated a rethink of the future of restoration strategies.”
• The Use of Extant Non‐Indigenous Tortoises as a Restoration Tool to Replace Extinct Ecosystem Engineers (2010, unknown): “We argue that blanket condemnation of using exotic species in restoration and conservation contexts to either restore ecological interactions or prevent the extinction of a species, respectively (Rubenstein et al. 2006; Ricciardi & Simberloff 2009), is counterproductive.”
