The contribution of scientific information to the conservation and management of freshwater biodiversity in tropical Asia (2003, background): “One explanation for such high rates of loss is that the approaches used to conserve biodiversity in terrestrial environments may be counterproductive for the conservation of freshwater systems (Moss, 2000) since they emphasize areas of high quality that can be bounded and protected (‘fortress conser”
Challenges for freshwater invertebrate conservation (2006, background): “Even single species may show considerable geographic variation in genetic structure that is consistent with past isolation and drainage history (King et al. 1999, Nagel 2000, Hebert et al. 2003).”
Threats, conservation strategies, and prognosis for suckers (Catostomidae) in North America: insights from regional case studies of a diverse family of non-game fishes (2005, background): “Although we have presented case studies primarily focusing on preservation of individual species or regionally-specific groups of catostomids, we also advocate conservation of system function (Moss, 2000).”
