• Prescriptive Evolution to Conserve and Manage Biodiversity (2014, background): “The practical upshots may include rapid evolution of capacities for tolerance or biological control of invaders by native species (Carroll 2011) and using invader-experienced phenotypes and genotypes for restoration (Deck et al. 2013, Felker-Quinn et al. 2013, Leger & Espeland 2010).”

• Effects of habitat degradation on the abundance, richness and diversity of raptors across Neotropical biomes (2009, background): “Neotropical biomes are among the least studied of the world, and their ratios of conservation research to land area designated as a conservation priority are negative when compared to those biomes of North America and Europe ( Lawler et al., 2006 ).”

A Meta‐analysis of Recent Papers (2000–2008) in Restoration Ecology and 12 Other Scientific Journals (2010, result): “The findings of this study are in line with results found in conservation science (Lawler et al. 2006), as evidenced by the growing call for a more rigorous, well-documented scientific process, not only in the way conservation and ecosystem management decisions are taken, but also in the…”
• Will climate change reduce the effects of a pesticide on amphibians?: partitioning effects on exposure and susceptibility to contaminants (2011, background): “Nevertheless, both pollution and climate change are considered two of the most understudied stressors in conservation science (Lawler et al., 2006).”
• Taxonomic bias and international biodiversity conservation research (2017, background): “In general, charismatic animals tend to receive the most attention from the general public (Genovart et al. 2013) and conservation scientists (Bonnet et al. 2002; Lawler et al. 2006).”
• Insect Declines in the Anthropocene. (2020, background): “Deforestation, conversion of wildlands into agriculture and silviculture, residential and commercial development, and extractive land uses collectivelymake up the greatest current threat to global biodiversity (84, 107, 118, 201).”
