Diversity, rarity and the evolution and conservation of the Canary Islands endemic flora (2008, background): “4b; 27% of all cells) respectively, particularly as minimum sets provide only a lower bound for the size of an effective network and are unlikely to be sufficient for ensuring the long-term persistence of the species involved (Rodrigues & Gaston, 2001).”
Using the Species-Area Relationship to Set Baseline Targets for Conservation (2004, background): “General consensus in the literature is that 10% of area is not sufficient to represent the majority of biodiversity, assuming that the remainder of the landscape is cleared or not conserved (Soulé and Sanjayan 1998, Rodrigues and Gaston 2001).”
Hotspots of species richness, threat and endemism for terrestrial vertebrates in SW Europe (2011, background): “…selection outcomes vary in relation to the quality and reliability of the input dataset (Freitag and Van Jaarsveld, 1998; Hopkinson et al., 2000; Rodrigues and Gaston, 2001; Araújo, 2004; Seo et al., 2009) and both Rey-Benayas and de la Montaña (2003) and Araújo et al. (2007) recognized this…”
Mapping More of Terrestrial Biodiversity for Global Conservation Assessment (2004, background): “…to earlier published predictions that taxa such as plants and insects with higher rates of spatial turnover, and therefore higher levels of endemism, require a larger total area of protection to achieve comparable levels of representation (Rodrigues and Gaston 2001, Rodrigues et al. 2004a).”
Biodiversity hotspots, centres of endemicity, and the conservation of coral reefs (2002, background): “Arguably, most existing Marine Protected Areas in the tropics are too small and too far apart (cf. Rodrigues & Gaston 2001 ).”
Poor overlap between the distribution of Protected Areas and globally threatened birds in Africa (2011, background): “The proportion of a species’ range that is required to fall within conservation areas for a network to be effective has not been defined (Rodrigues & Gaston, 2001), and IBAs are not intended to cover all (or even a high percentage) of threatened species’ ranges (Fishpool & Evans, 2001).”
An introduction to biodiversity concepts for environmental economists (2004, background): “Conservation strategies based on hotspots or representative reserve systems have been criticized for not addressing whether biodiversity will persist in the selected areas (Cabeza and Moilanen, 2001; Rodrigues and Gaston, 2001).”
The Fate of the Amazonian Areas of Endemism (2005, background): “Areas of endemism with higher numbers of restricted-range endemic species, such as Inambari and Rondônia, will require more strictly protected areas that are strategically sited if their species are to be adequately repre- sented across the conservation system (Rodrigues & Gaston 2001).”
Making the matrix matter: challenges in Australian grazing landscapes (2005, background): “Indeed, in the context of the global reserve network, it is recognised that a global target of setting aside 10% of all land for conservation is likely to be vastly insufficient (Rodrigues and Gaston 2001).”
Modelling spatial patterns of biodiversity for conservation prioritization in North‐eastern Mexico (2004, background): “Given the inadequacy of single reserves, reserve networks become essential for the long-term persistence of biodiversity (Margules et al ., 1994; Williams et al ., 1996; Flather et al ., 1997; Prendergast et al ., 1999; Rodrigues & Gaston, 2001).”
Predicting species distributions from herbarium collections: does climate bias in collection sampling influence model outcomes? (2007, background): “…are relatively large, more species probably overlap in geographical space and thus the minimum area required to represent a number of target species in a reserve network is reduced when compared with a set of target species with non-overlapping geographical ranges (Rodrigues & Gaston, 2001).”
Effectiveness of the global protected area network in representing species diversity (2004, background): “Indeed, the regions with greatest need for expansion of the global protected area network are not necessarily those with a lower percentage of their area protected; rather, they typically are those with higher levels of endemis”
Capturing biodiversity: selecting priority areas for conservation using different criteria (2005, background): “Therefore, especially when taking into account the vulnerability or irreplaceability of different habitats (Pressey and Taffs 2001), different representation targets should be set for different environmental classes (see also Cowling and Heijnis 2001; Rodrigues and Gaston 2001).”
