Astrobiology: The Study of the Living Universe (2005, background): “…force” dramatically accelerating evolutionary change in other species, and a consortium of ecologists calls for a shift in ecological studies from increasingly rare undisturbed ecosystems to a future environment that “will largely consist of human-influenced ecosystems” (Palmer et al. 2004).”
Ethnoprimatology and the Anthropology of the Human-Primate Interface ∗ (2012, background): “Today, in the Anthropocene, humans are changing global and local ecologies as fast as, or faster than, we can study them (e.g., Economist 2011, Palmer et al. 2004, Rose 2009), so recognizing our roles as animals and with other animals can help us gain a better grasp on inquiries into important…”
Incorporating positive interactions in aquatic restoration and conservation (2007, background): “Interestingly, management efforts have begun to move away from attempts to restore ecosystems to a pristine condition and toward restoring ecosystem function and services (Palmer et al. 2004).”
Microbial services: challenges for microbial ecologists in a changing world (2008, background): “With every ecosystem on earth influenced by humans (Palmer et al. 2004), it is necessary and inescapable to view human beings and their activities as integral components of ecosystems, not isolated external drivers.”
Beyond the natural flow regime? Broadening the hydro‐ecological foundation to meet environmental flows challenges in a non‐stationary world (2018, background): “Increasingly, e-flows science will blend conservation and restoration objectives (see Wiens & Hobbs, 2015) across a range of hydro-ecological alteration, and it will incorporate principles of “ecosystems by design” (sensu Palmer et al., 2004; see Acreman, Arthington, et al., 2014).”
The area requirements of an ecosystem service: crop pollination by native bee communities in California (2004, background): “Honeybees are not always the most effective pollinators of a given crop (Parker et al. 1987; Kevan et al. 2004 Blackwell Publishing Ltd/CNRS 1990), and the number of honeybee colonies, both domesticated and feral, have declined by 50–70%, respectively, since 1946 (USDA 1980; data from 1980–2001, E.…”
The state and conservation of Southeast Asian biodiversity (2010, background): “Because urbanization will almost certainly greatly expand in the future ( Palmer et al. 2004 ), we determined whether human population in urban areas was correlated with the proportion of threatened species.”
Managing ecosystem services: what do we need to know about their ecology? (2005, background): “There is still little detailed ecological understanding of most ecosystem services, however, impeding progress in their conservation and management (Balmford et al. 2003; Luck et al. 2003; Palmer et al. 2004; Robertson et al. 2005).”
Biodiversity loss and the taxonomic bottleneck: emerging biodiversity science (2006, background): “In addition, but not least in importance, ecologists are increasingly involved in developing research about relationships among biodiversity patterns, human–social systems, and sustainable development (Liu et al. 2003; Palmer et al. 2004; Redman et al. 2004).”
