Effects of climate change on the distribution of indigenous species in oceanic islands (Azores) (2016, background): “Oceanic islands host a high proportion of the world’s endemic species, many of which are threatened with extinction as a consequence of human intervention (Cardoso et al. 2010; Triantis et al. 2010; Terzopoulou et al. 2015).”
The seven impediments in invertebrate conservation and how to overcome them (2011, background): “…species have been officially reported extinct for the last 600 years (Dunn, 2005), all others having vanished before discovery or description, the so-called Centinelan (Wilson, 1992) or Linnean extinctions (Cardoso et al., 2010; Ladle and Jepson, 2008; Régnier et al., 2009; Triantis et al., 2010).”
Habitats Directive species lists: urgent need of revision (2012, background): “Other diverse and important groups, oftenmentioned asmost sensitive to habitat disturbance (e.g. Araneae, see Cardoso et al., 2010) or good indicators on the trends of other taxa (e.g. Hemiptera, see Duelli &Obrist, 1998;Gaspar et al., 2010), are barely present.”
