The threat of invasive species to IUCN-listed critically endangered species: A systematic review (2021, background): “This systematic review supports the assertion that the management of invasive vertebrates, mainly invasive mammal predators on islands, is a prerequisite for conserving global biodiversity (Loehle and Eschenbach, 2012; Jones et al., 2016; McCreless et al., 2016).”
Widespread mesopredator effects after wolf extirpation (2013, background): “Thus, released mesopredators often achieve densities that are sufficiently high and persistent to drive the decline or extinction of prey populations, and affect community structure and stability (Holt and Lawton, 1994; Prugh et al., 2009; Loehle and Eschenbach, 2012).”
The Importance of Islands for the Protection of Biological and Linguistic Diversity (2015, background): “Previous studies on quantifying the proportion of threatened and extinct species on islands included only better-studied threatened taxa, such as birds and mammals (Ricketts et al. 2005, Loehle and Eschenbach 2012).”
