• Implications of Time-Averaged Death Assemblages for Ecology and Conservation Biology (2013, background): “Valuable work on this topic has been either sedimentary core based (e.g., pollen evidence of problem species and habitat change) or in an archaeological context (e.g., mammal and bird extinctions; Steadman 1995, Burney et al. 2001, van Leeuwen et al. 2008, Lyman 2012, Pardiñas & Teta 2012).”
• Floristic biogeography of the Hawaiian Islands: influences of area, environment and paleogeography (2004, background): “For example, a site on Kaua’i rich in plant macrofossils indicates that several species now restricted to higher elevations once occurred much closer to sea level (Burney et al., 2001).”
• Conservation Paleobiology: Leveraging Knowledge of the Past to Inform Conservation and Restoration (2015, background): “For example, although Pandanus tectorius (screw pine) and Cordia subcordata were thought to have been introduced into the Hawaiian Islands by colonizing Polynesians, pollen and seed evidence showed that both were present in the islands for thousands of years before human arrival (Burney et al. 2001)”
• Detecting the initial impact of humans and introduced species on island environments in Remote Oceania using palaeoecology (2009, background): “…multi-proxy studies, initial signatures of human contact, agriculture, and exotic introductions are showing that the many facets of initial human impacts actually occur concurrently and immediately after arrival (Burney et al. 2001; Hunt and Lipo 2006; Kennett et al. 2006; Wilmshurst et al. 2008).”
• Paleoecology and “inter‐situ” restoration on Kaua'i, Hawai'i (2007, background): “…a sense of time in a place (WebPanel 1) Makauwahi Cave Reserve: low-cost time travel Multidisciplinary studies at Makauwahi Cave, Maha`ulepu, on Kaua`i’s south shore (Figure 1), first revealed some critical details needed for restoration on the dry, leeward side of the island (Burney et al. 2001).”
• Patterns of Seed Dispersal and Dispersal Failure in a Hawaiian Dry Forest Having Only Introduced Birds (2010, background): “Humans have contributed to the extinction of native birds throughout Polynesia, including the Hawaiian Islands (Steadman 1995, 2006; Burney et al. 2001; Duncan et al. 2002; Boyer 2008).”
