Conservation Biogeography: assessment and prospect (2005, background): “…scale of application, it is clear that there are numerous approaches to mapping and prioritising putative or existing protected areas (e.g. Pressey & Nicholls, 1989; Margules & Pressey, 2000; Williams et al., 2000b; Cabeza & Moilanen, 2001; Williams & Araújo, 2002; Dimitrakopoulos et al., 2004).”
Complementarity analysis: Mapping the performance of surrogates for biodiversity (2006, background): “For example, Ryti (1992) and Williams et al. (2000) had suggested that an important factor for good performance is small range sizes in the predictor group.”
The Role of Informal Protected Areas in Maintaining Biodiversity in the Western Ghats of India (2005, background): “…been shown that the distribution patterns of many of the species that are currently of the greatest international conservation concern do not coincide with broader diversity patterns (Prendergast et al. 1993, Oliver and Beattie 1996, Lawton et al. 1998, Williams et al. 2000, Perfecto et al. 2003).”
Maximising phylogenetic diversity in the selection of networks of conservation areas (2002, background): “Complementarity-based reserve selection problems typically have several optimal solutions (Table 1; e.g. Arthur et al., 1997; Csuti et al., 1997; Williams et al., 2000; Gaston et al., 2001), and these may look quite distinct in terms of the spatial position of individual sites (Fig.”
Taxonomic bias in reintroduction projects (2005, background): “Also, recent studies have found little evidence to support the claim that a focus on surrogate species is an effective means of conserving biodiversity at regional (Andelman & Fagan, 2000; Williams, Burgess & Rahbek, 2000 ) or even local (Caro et al., 2004)”
Recommendations for Assessing the Effectiveness of Surrogate Species Approaches (2006, background): “Ineffective 3 2 4 9 Andelman and Fagan 2000; Williams et al. 2000; Caro Andelman and Fagan 2000; Berger 1997; Andelman and”
Biodiversity and extinction (2007, unknown): “, 2006), flagship species (eg, Simberloff, 1998; Andelman and Fagan, 2000; Williams et al., 2000; Bowen-Jones and Entwistle, 2002; Caro et al., 2004), and indicator species (eg, Simberloff, 1998; Snaith and Beazley, 2002; King and Beazley, 2005; Maes and van Dyck, 2005; Bani et al.”
Planning for Climate Change: Identifying Minimum‐Dispersal Corridors for the Cape Proteaceae (2005, background): “Surrogacy among taxonomic groups for complementary area networks based on current distributions has received some attention (e.g., Jaarsveld et al. 1998; Andelman & Fagan 2000; Williams et al. 2000; Manne & Williams 2003).”
Conservation of coral reef biodiversity: A comparison of reserve selection procedures for corals and fishes (2003, methodology): “Sites were ranked for maximum complementary rarity (T=2) by a progressive rarity algorithm in WORLD-MAP; for details of the algorithm, see Williams (2000) and Williams et al. (2000) .”
Threatened and endemic species: are they good indicators of patterns of biodiversity on a national scale? (2002, background): “In addition, a pragmatic view is that threatened and endemic species may serve best to attract public attention as well as funding (Williams et al. 2000).”
Identifying Cinderella species: uncovering mammals with conservation flagship appeal (2012, background): “In addition, flagship species are generally poor biodiversity surrogates (Andelman and Fagan 2000; Williams et al. 2000; Caro et al. 2004).”
