Distorted Views of Biodiversity: Spatial and Temporal Bias in Species Occurrence Data (2010, background): “The most complete picture of biodiversity change will be gained through building composite data sets that draw from a range of sources, perhaps in combination with models incorporating evidence-based changes [25,26].”
Deficiency in African plant distribution data - missing pieces of the puzzle (2006, background): “The compilation of large biogeographical databases is time-consuming, and there are intensive debates as to what extent the resources invested in this kind of work efficiently contribute to the conservation of biodiversity (Cowling et al., 2004).”
A methodological protocol for Annex i Habitats monitoring: The contribution of vegetation science (2016, background): “Additionally, in the last two decades, it became increasingly evident that biodiversity can be more effectively represented and monitored by a community-approach than by analysing single species (Noss, 1996; Cowling et al., 2004; Nicholson et al., 2009; Galdenzi et al., 2012; Rodríguez et al., 2012;”
Knowing But Not Doing: Selecting Priority Conservation Areas and the Research–Implementation Gap (2008, methodology): “Although the science of conservation assessment alone will only ever be able to solve a small proportion of conservation problems (Schön 1983; Cowling et al. 2004), it is, however, an important component of broader conservation planning processes that deliver effective conservation action.”
An Operational Model for Implementing Conservation Action (2006, background): “In terms of systematic assessments, the state of our natural heritage is simply one measure used to see whether we are achieving our goals (Cowling et al. 2004).”
