• Ecologically justified charisma: preservation of top predators delivers biodiversity conservation (2006, background): “Furthermore, it has been argued that the fact that some conservation organizations raise funds by using species known a priori to be appealing to the public may create a vicious cycle by which conservation projects are prioritized on unscientific grounds (Entwistle & Dunstone 2000).”
• Biocomplexity and restoration of biodiversity in temperate coniferous forest: inducing spatial heterogeneity with variable‐density thinning (2003, background): “It is time to move beyond reserves into managing forests to conserve biodiversity (di Castri and Younes, 1990; Entwistle and Dunstone, 2000; Korpilahti and Kuuluvainen, 2002).”
• What are we saving? Developing a standardized approach for conservation action (2009, background): “Conservation of small mammals is low on the environmental agenda, in spite of the important roles they play in ecosystem function (Amori & Gippoliti, 2000, 2001; Entwistle & Dunstone, 2000).”
• Selection criteria for flagship species by conservation organizations (2009, background): “Fundraising for the broad protection of biodiversity through concentration on a single flagship species can negatively affect the credibility of an organization, especially when it is not clear to the donors how the money will be spent (Entwistle & Dunstone 2000).”
• Holding up a mirror to the society: Children recognize exotic species much more than local ones (2013, background): “…Sergio et al., 2008), these species, at a global scale, have played an important role in raising environmental awareness and funds for conservation (Entwistle and Dunstone, 2000; Walpole and Leader-Williams, 2002), increasing at the same time their knowledge in people living outside their…”
