Utility and limitations of species richness metrics for conservation planning (2006, background): “Conservation focused on highly interactive species (Soulé et al., 2005)—often those at the topic of trophic pyramids—or species with large area requirements (e.”
Ecosystem engineering in space and time. (2007, background): “Engineers can thus typify the type of strongly interacting species that constitute conservation targets (Soulé et al. 2005 and references therein).”
Interactions between a Top Order Predator and Exotic Mesopredators in the Australian Rangelands (2012, background): “Several studies have identified a loss in species biodiversity when a keystone or “apex” mammalian predator is removed [23, 28, 65].”
Guiding ecological principles for marine spatial planning (2010, background): “Keystone species have community-level effects that are often disproportionate to their biomass [95,96].”
Conservation and sustainable use of medicinal plants: problems, progress, and prospects (2016, background): “There is a threshold below which species reproductive capacity becomes irreversibly reduced [25, 26].”
Stretch Goals and Backcasting: Approaches for Overcoming Barriers to Large‐Scale Ecological Restoration (2006, background): “The role of complex trophic interactions in structuring marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems is now increasingly recognized (Pace et al. 1999), as are their implications for conservation policy, management, and ethics (Soulé et al. 2005).”
Road traffic noise modifies behaviour of a keystone species (2014, background): “Similarly, altered behaviour of this highly interactive species (Kotliar, 2000; Miller et al., 2007; Soul e et al., 2005) may directly influence other organisms in the ecological community; for example, reduced surface activity may limit foraging opportunities for terrestrial and aerial predators.”
How Many Animals Do We Want to Save? The Many Ways of Setting Population Target Levels for Conservation (2006, background): “Many scientists prefer to leave the setting of desired numbers in the realm of policy, and many politicians look to scientists for an objective estimate of how many are enough (Soulé et al. 2005, Svancara et al. 2005).”
The Fate of Wild Tigers (2007, unknown): “If this trend continues,the current range will shrink even further,and wild populations will disappear from many more places,or dwindle to the point of “ecological extinction,” in which their numbers are too few to play their role as top predator in the ecosystem (Soulé et al. 2005).”
Managing supplementary feeding for avian scavengers: Guidelines for optimal design using ecological criteria (2010, background): “These birds interact closely and as such should be treated as a single group and not on a species-by-species basis (Mills et al., 1993; Soulé et al., 2005; Oro et al., 2009).”
