• Managing threatened species: the ecological toolbox, evolutionary theory and declining-population paradigm (2004, background): “These potential benefits have led a number of authors to advocate the widespread use of demographic models in the management of threatened species (Carroll et al. 1996; Morris et al. 2002).”
• Marine turtles and IUCN Red Listing: A review of the process, the pitfalls, and novel assessment approaches (2008, background): “Further, although not yet applied widely to marine turtles, the MTSG should explore modelling efforts such as Population Viability Analysis (PVA; Akçakaya and Sjögren-Gulve, 2000; Morris et al., 2002).”
• Using Age Structure to Detect Impacts on Threatened Populations: a Case Study with Steller Sea Lions (2003, background): “Indeed, monitoring to detect a change in status and viability, whether in response to management actions or environmental perturbation, is a standard aspect of most management plans (cf. Morris et al. 2002).”
• Using Population Viability Analysis to Develop Recovery Criteria for Endangered Insects: Case Study of the Fender's Blue Butterfly (2003, methodology): “Fortunately, survey data are often available because monitoring of endangered populations is increasingly required by recovery plans ( Morris et al. 2002).”
• Lynx reintroductions in fragmented landscapes of Germany : Projects with a future or misunderstood wildlife conservation? (2005, methodology): “…explicit population simulation models are virtually the only means to answer certain specific questions of population development under different landscape and demographic scenarios (Brook et al., 2002) and should therefore be integrated into the recovery planning process (Morris et al., 2002).”
• A better way to estimate population trends (2009, background): “Although trend can be estimated from age or stage-specific vital rates, it is commonly estimated from abundance data collected over time via enumeration, abundance estimates or abundance indices (Morris et al. 2002, Marsh and Trenham 2008).”
• Lessons learned from developing integrated ecosystem assessments to inform marine ecosystem-based management in the USA (2014, background): “Population viability analysis is considered one of the best quantitative methods for evaluating extinction risk, yet it remains infrequently used in endangered species recovery planning (Morris et al., 2002).”
• Information needs for assessing critical habitat of freshwater fish (2006, background): “However, sufficient information to perform a PVA is often lacking for listed species (Morris et al. 2002), usually because time and resources have not been available to obtain the necessary demographic parameters.”
