Citations in the corpus
- Global State of Biodiversity and Loss (2003, background): “Species density maps are also available for other groups [see (11) and http://stort.”
- The role of taxonomy in species conservation. (2004, background): “Species richness and the proportion of species threatened with extinction can be calculated for countries (Groombridge & Jenkins 2002), ecoregions (Olson et al. 2001) and within countries (Stein 2000) and used for priority setting aimed at diverting conservation funds Phil.”
- Patterns of vascular plant diversity at continental to global scales (2007, methodology): “Extensive assessments of the knowledge of spatial distribution of biodiversity on earth were performed by the WCMC (Groombridge 1992; Groombridge & Jenkins 2002), in the context of the Global Biodiversity Assessment (Heywood 1995), or by WWF & IUCN (Davis et al. 1994-1997).”
- Global patterns of plant diversity and floristic knowledge (2005, background): “Plants represent 10 times as many species as all terrestrial vertebrates combined (Groombridge & Jenkins, 2002).”
- Toward monitoring global biodiversity (2008, background): “For the global biodiversity index c. 58,000 vertebrates would contribute as much as c. 1.2 million invertebrates (Hammond 1992, 1995; Groombridge & Jenkins 2002).”
- Ecological Ethics: Building a New Tool Kit for Ecologists and Biodiversity Managers (2005, background): “Where there are threats of serious or irreversible damage, lack of full scientific certainty shall not be used as a reason for postponing cost-effective measures to prevent environmental degradation” (Principle 15 of the Rio Declaration, 1992 Earth Summit; see Groombridge & Jenkins 2002).”
