Firm relocation as adaptive response to climate change and weather extremes (2011, background): “, 2008), or the relocation of species (Hoegh-Guldberg et al., 2008) in cases where local environments surpass a threshold beyond which the system is no longer able to support most or all of a population (Adger et al.”
Climate Change, Aboveground-Belowground Interactions, and Species' Range Shifts (2012, background): “Investigators have proposed that assisted migration and colonization (Hoegh-Guldberg et al. 2008 However, assisted migration may also involve risks with consequences for the composition as well as invasive properties similar to intercontinental invaders (Engelkes et al. 2008).”
The performance of protected areas for biodiversity under climate change (2015, background): “For cases where in situ survival is impossible for a species despite management, and where there is no capacity for a species to spread to new locations via a string of PAs, translocation may need to be considered (Hoegh-Guldberg et al., 2008).”
Modelling future changes of habitat and fauna in the Tonle Sap wetland of the Mekong (2013, positive): “…where the environmental conditions (such as the flooding regime) will remain optimal in the long term, following the concept of assisted colonization (McLachlan et al. 2007; Hoegh-Guldberg et al. 2008) and taking into consideration predicted changes to the system and the consequent habitat shifts.”
Maximizing Seed Resources for Restoration in an Uncertain Future (2016, background): “Although preserving natural habitats is generally more preferable than restoration (Young 2000), in highly degraded regions, plant restoration is a major objective for land-management agencies (Hoegh-Guldberg et al. 2008).”
The Potential Conservation Value of Non‐Native Species (2011, background): “For example, some place a premium on the integrity of native ecosystems or fear the future negative effects of non-native species (Ricciardi & Simberloff 2009), whereas others may value the ecosystem function provided by a non-native species (Dudgeon & Smith 2006) or the potential of translocation t”
Marine range shifts and species introductions: comparative spread rates and community impacts (2010, background): “This focus has stemmed from a concern that climate change will lead to extinctions and the loss of biological diversity, which has resulted in proposals for ‘assisted colonization’ or the deliberate movement of species to mitigate biodiversity loss (Hoegh-Guldberg et al., 2009).”
From climate change predictions to actions – conserving vulnerable animal groups in hotspots at a regional scale (2010, background): “Recommendations to address climate change impacts on biodiversity include a wide variety of measures, with the most popular being monitoring species (with emphasis on the physiological, behavioural and demographic response), restoring habitats and system dynamics, expanding reserve networks, perform”
Multidimensional evaluation of managed relocation (2009, background): “Hoegh-Guldberg and colleagues (1) recently proposed a stepwise linear process to determine when it is appropriate to consider MR.”
