THE PACIFIC SALMON WARS: What Science Brings to the Challenge of Recovering Species (2002, background): “Yet, in salmon recovery planning, very little attention has been paid to phylogeographic patterns and the underlying processes that give rise to distinct evolutionary lineages (see Bowen 1998, 1999; Moritz 2002).”
Building evolutionary resilience for conserving biodiversity under climate change (2010, background): “…acknowledged by some as central to the maintenance of biodiversity in reserves and in the maintenance of species borders (Cowling and Pressey 2001; Moritz 2002; Rouget et al. 2006; Taylor and Figgis 2007; Mace and Purvis 2008), they are yet to be explicitly incorporated into conservation planning…”
Concordant molecular and phenotypic data delineate new taxonomy and conservation priorities for the endangered mountain yellow‐legged frog (2007, background): “Although demographic effects on population viability are already apparent, sound conservation efforts must also include an understanding of species and population boundaries, as well as population dynamics (Moritz et al., 2001; Moritz, 2002).”
Unifying measures of biodiversity: understanding when richness and phylogenetic diversity should be congruent (2013, background): “To this end, a number of studies have examined the spatial distribution of PD and delineate sites with disproportionately high PD (Moritz, 2002; Rodrigues & Gaston, 2002; Forest et al., 2007; Devictor et al., 2010; Tucker et al., 2012).”
Macroecological patterns of species and genetic diversity in vascular plants of the Mediterranean basin (2010, background): “…2005), to understand concurrent micro- and macroevolutionary processes (Bickford et al., 2004) and to provide a valid framework for conserving not just patterns, but also processes at biogeographical scales (Moritz, 2002), e.g. using conservation biogeography planning (Whittaker et al., 2005).”
Golden bowerbird (Prionodura newtonia) habitat in past, present and future climates: predicted extinction of a vertebrate in tropical highlands due to global warming (2004, background): “The loss of populations results in the loss of within species diversity and evolutionary potential (Moritz, 2002) as well as the potential of altering a species’ evolutionary trajectory.”
Relationships among levels of biodiversity and the relevance of intraspecific diversity in conservation - a project synopsis (2008, background): “phylogenetic diversity of plants and animals, in designing networks of protected areas (Faith, 1992; Bowen, 1999; Moritz, 2002; Rodrigues and Gaston, 2002; Sechrest et al., 2002; Forest et al., 2007), consensus has emerged that directing conservation efforts at protecting species or ecosystems ric”
A case for incorporating phylogeography and landscape genetics into species distribution modelling approaches to improve climate adaptation and conservation planning (2010, background): “In particular, steep environmental gradients are often associated with adaptive variation, reflected in high levels of genetic divergence across the gradient (Moritz, 2002; Vandergast et al., 2008), and are increasingly recognized as relevant to preserving evolutionary potential.”
The gap between the concept and definitions in the Evolutionarily Significant Unit: the need to integrate neutral genetic variation and adaptive variation (2007, background): “‘‘Significant’’ became explicit and meant conserving historical population structure rather than current adaptation (Moritz 1994a, 2002).”
Integrating Traditional and Evolutionary Knowledge in Biodiversity Conservation: a Population Level Case Study (2006, neutral): “Brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis) Schooling behaviour in feeding areas and fishing practices Maintenance of genetic diversity within populations at small geographic scales This study Bernatchez 2001, Moritz 2002).”
Population genetics of the freshwater mussel, Amblema plicata (Say 1817) (Bivalvia: Unionidae): Evidence of high dispersal and post-glacial colonization (2007, background): “Further analysis of local adaptation (especially to potential fish hosts), and ecological differences among populations beyond genetic differences is necessary prior to the development of any comprehensive conservation effort (Frazer and Bernatchez 2001; Moritz 2002).”
A role for assisted evolution in designing native plant materials for domesticated landscapes (2009, background): “Microevolutionary processes may generate site-adapted genotypes from generally adapted ones (Moritz 2002).”
Contemporary evolution meets conservation biology (2003, background): “Evolutionary concerns are also reflected in the designation of conservation units [8,9] and management plans that seek to conserve both process and pattern [10, 11 ].”
Range size, taxon age and hotspots of neoendemism in the California flora (2010, background): “Evolutionary perspectives on the assessment of biodiversity have become increasingly important to conservation efforts in recent years (Erwin, 1991; Faith, 1992; Moritz, 2002; Forest et al., 2007; Davis et al., 2008; Vandergast et al., 2008).”
Amphibian Conservation Action Plan (2007, background): “It has been argued that areas where secondary contact between historically isolated lineages has been documented should be preserved because they can be regarded as natural laboratories for the study of evolutionary processes (Moritz 2002).”
