Freshwater crabs and the biodiversity crisis: Importance, threats, status, and conservation challenges (2009, methodology): “…of species-level data on taxonomy, distribution, population trends, ecology, life history, past and present threats, and conservation actions was conducted at Northern Michigan University as part of the Red List Index, Sampled approach project (Zoological Society of London; Baillie et al., 2008).”
Adapting the IUCN Red List criteria for invertebrates (2011, methodology): “Critical to conserving biodiversity is understanding the status of and trends in the distribution and abundance of species (Gaston, 1994, 2003; Baillie et al., 2008).”
The Wildlife Picture Index: monitoring top trophic levels (2010, background): “, 2004, 2007), and the Sampled Red List Indicator (Baillie et al., 2008).”
Hot and bothered: Using trait-based approaches to assess climate change vulnerability in reptiles (2016, methodology): “This approach was found to derive a broadly representative picture of extinction risk (Baillie et al., 2008) and its applicability to climate change vulnerability assessment is currently being investigated, specifically in the context of arbitrarily set percentage thresholds for sensitivity,…”
Geographical, temporal and taxonomic biases in insect GBIF data on biodiversity and extinction (2021, background): “, 2012), and as such, the effort to measure the risk of extinction of insects still falls short (Baillie et al., 2008).”
Odonata enter the biodiversity crisis debate: The first global assessment of an insect group (2009, methodology): “The approach of the red List index (Baillie et al. 2008, Butchart et al. 2004, 2007) will allow for the first time the opportunity to monitor the global status according to the red List criteria. it will be used to calculate the movement of species between threat categories over odonata enter the…”
Using species distribution models to inform IUCN Red List assessments (2014, methodology): “…data for these came from the plant component of the Sampled Red List Index (SRLI), an indicator to measure the current rate of loss of biodiversity by tracking trends in the conservation status of a randomly-selected sample of species (see details in: Baillie et al. 2008; Brummitt et al. 2008).”
Red List Indices to measure the sustainability of species use and impacts of invasive alien species (2008, background): “After habitat loss and degradation (with its multiple drivers), unsustainable exploitation and invasive alien species (IAS, hereafter ‘invasive species’) spread by human activities are the two largest drivers of biodiversity loss (Baillie et al. 2004).”
Overcoming data deficiency in reptiles (2016, methodology): “Whilst the representativeness of the Sampled Red List approach has been demonstrated at the taxonomic level (Baillie et al., 2008), the representativeness of spatial patterns derived from the approach remains unproven.”
Global Biodiversity Change: The Bad, the Good, and the Unknown (2012, background): “Instead, in the past few years, the IUCN has developed a randomized sampling approach to expand its assessment to more taxonomic groups (53).”
Global patterns of freshwater species diversity, threat and endemism (2013, methodology): “…published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd 41 were selected and assessed for the sampled approach to redlisting, and therefore correspond to a representative random sample of species from these classes rather than assessments for all species in the group (Baillie et al., 2008; Collen & Baillie, 2010).”
The conservation status of the world's reptiles (2013, methodology): “While this assessment feeds into broader scale assessments of biodiversity as a whole, as part of the Sampled Red List Index project (Baillie et al., 2008), it is also important to feed this information into similar regional assessments, since concrete policy decisions are generally being taken at…”
