Conservation biogeography of freshwater fishes: recent progress and future challenges (2010, positive): “Previous studies have shed considerable insight into the trait correlates of extinction risk for freshwater fishes (e.g., Angermeier, 1995; Olden et al., 2006, 2007, 2008a), and although the patterns are diverse, a general suite of ‘extinction-prone’ traits have emerged.”
Length-weight allometries in lizards (2010, background): “…fishes, caecilians, urodeles and snakes, for example, the total body length usually predominates, and for frogs and lizards, it is snout–vent length (SVL, or sometimes SUL for snout–urostyle length in frogs) (Boback, 2003; Olalla-Tarraga, Rodrıguez & Hawkins, 2006; Olden et al., 2007; Meiri, 2008).”
Global variation in marine fish body size and its role in biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (2010, methodology): “…fish assemblages, given that these historically low diversity ecosystems were also dominated by large-bodied species that are most vulnerable to extinction (Reynolds et al. 2005, Olden et al. 2007) and subjected to fisheries managed via minimum size limits (Shin et al. 2005, Pope et al. 2009).”
Fish Invasions in the World's River Systems: When Natural Processes Are Blurred by Human Activities (2008, methodology): “Although we recognise the potential biases and limitations of the IUCN listing procedure, the IUCN Red List of threatened species remains the most objective and authoritative system for classifying species in terms of the risk of extinction at the global scale [41,50].”
Heads you win, tails you lose: Life‐history traits predict invasion and extinction risk of the world's freshwater fishes (2017, background): “By contrast, short generation times coupled with relatively low fecundity of threatened species may be related to higher demographic stochasticity, conferring them lower resilience to environmental change (Olden et al., 2007; Olden, Poff et al., 2008).”
A systematic review of the relation between species traits and extinction risk (2018, background): “Threatened freshwater fishes are found 237 both at the smaller and larger spectrum of body sizes (Olden et al., 2007), and the same bimodal 238 relationship is found when pooling all vertebrates together (Ripple et al.”
Conservation Biology for All (2010, background): “Commercial fishing activities disproportionately threaten large-bodied marine and freshwater species (Olden et al. 2007).”
Correlates of extinction risk in squamate reptiles: the relative importance of biology, geography, threat and range size (2016, neutral): “…key correlates of risk and evaluating how 72 they vary across time, species and space is a central goal of conservation research, having 73 focussed on all vertebrate groups (e.g. Olden et al., 2007; Sodhi et al., 2008; Davidson et al., 74 2009; Lee & Jetz, 2011), with the exception of reptiles.”
Regulation of animal size by eNPP, Bergmann's rule, and related phenomena (2011, background): “…biogeography, and conservation (Margalef 1955, McNab 1971, Peters 1983, Calder 1984, Brown and Nicoletto 1991, Crooks 2002, Meiri and Thomas 2007, Olden et al. 2007, Greve et al. 2008) and is often linked to other global patterns, such as the latitudinal gradient of species richness (Blackburn…”
Extensive gaps and biases in our knowledge of a well‐known fauna: implications for integrating biological traits into macroecology (2012, neutral): “The wide availability of size information is reassuring, as body size has a defining role in aquatic ecosystems at a range of scales (Jennings et al., 1998; Tillin et al., 2006; Hildrew et al., 2007; Olden et al., 2007; Blanchard et al., 2008; Webb et al., 2009).”
