• Recommendations for Assessing the Effectiveness of Surrogate Species Approaches (2006, background): “…(Ricketts et al. 2002), effects of topography (Fleishman et al. 2002; Fleishman and Mac Nally 2002), insensitivity to environmental change (Linnell et al. 2000), conflict with human values (Linnell et al. 2000), and behavioral differences between surrogates and the species for which they…”
• Mapping spatial pattern in biodiversity for regional conservation planning: where to from here? (2002, background): “…the requirements of wide-ranging vertebrate species (e.g., top carnivores) can help guide decisions about reserve size and connectedness but may perform poorly as surrogates for spatial pattern in biodiversity as a whole (Andelman and Fagan, 2000; Linnell et al., 2000; Williams et al., 2000).”
• Stretch Goals and Backcasting: Approaches for Overcoming Barriers to Large‐Scale Ecological Restoration (2006, background): “For example, natural recovery and reintroduction of large predators in Europe (Breitenmoser 1998; Linnell et al. 2000) and North America (Bangs & Fritts 1996; Rees 2001) has been highly controversial.”
• The permeability of highway in Gorski kotar (Croatia) for large mammals (2008, background): “…Radolfzell, Germany their broad habitat quality tolerance, large carnivores cannot always be used as flagship animals for preserving biodiversity (Linnell et al. 2000), but, as the most spacedemanding terrestrial animals, they are ideal as indicators for continuity of large areas (Crooks 2002).”
• Selection criteria for flagship species by conservation organizations (2009, background): “Furthermore, there are many areas that do not harbour a charismatic species that would be suitable as a flagship species, yet possess considerable species richness that may be neglected if charismatic species elsewhere receive the entire focus of attention (Simberloff 1998; Linnell et al. 2000; Entw”
