Rewilding – A New Paradigm for Nature Conservation in Scotland? (2011, methodology): “Considerable evidence suggests that protection of large areas – especially at the scale of entire ecosystems – is the most effective method of preserving biological diversity, especially under climate change (Hilty et al. 2006; Cantú-Salazar & Gaston 2010; Rands et al. 2010).”
Effective Coverage Targets for Ocean Protection (2016, background): “…of many very large, remote MPAs (Wilhelm et al. 2014), will make a highly valuable contribution to a global MPA network and is comparable to the wave of designation of large and intact terrestrial protected areas that occurred decades ago (Naughton-Treves et al. 2005; Cantú-Salazar & Gaston 2010).”
Core concepts of spatial prioritisation in systematic conservation planning (2012, background): “Additional considerations include those of spatial scale, connectivity, and features of reserve areas (Saunders et al., 1991; Rebelo & Siegfried, 1992; Pressey & Taffs, 2001; Rodrigues et al., 2004b; Gaston et al., 2006; Cantu-Salazar & Gaston, 2010).”
