Conservation Biogeography: assessment and prospect (2005, background): “…a multiplicity of different but equally efficient complementarity solutions, meaning that comparisons such as that carried out for Crete should be based on multiple runs to ensure that the differences resulting are robust (e.g. Gaston et al., 2001; Hopkinson et al., 2001; Araújo et al., 2005).”
Maximising phylogenetic diversity in the selection of networks of conservation areas (2002, background): “This problem had several optimal solutions, and 10 of these (selected randomly and without replacement from the set of optimal solutions—see Rodrigues et al., 2000b; Gaston et al., 2001) were obtained.”
The roles of landscape context, niche breadth, and range boundaries in predicting species responses to habitat alteration (2006, background): “Specifically we agree with Gaston et al. (2001) that selection of a core reserve network based on minimum complementary sets of species will be inadequate if several species are represented in marginal or peripheral areas of their ranges.”
Capturing biodiversity: selecting priority areas for conservation using different criteria (2005, background): “This means that although networks maximising species diversity might capture the range of environmental conditions, they may not do so in uniform areas or core habitats but possibly in transition zones between habitats (Gaston et al. 2001).”
Effects of Ecotones on Biodiversity (2013, background): “…species, where abundances may be lower and populations more prone to local extinctions than other parts of the range, these ecotonal areas have low value for conservation as they will not persist over time, for example, if the surrounding environments become fragmented (e.g., Gaston et al., 2001).”
Responses of ‘resistant’ vertebrates to habitat loss and fragmentation: the importance of niche breadth and range boundaries (2003, result): “Our results support the observation by Gaston et al. (2001) that selection of a core reserve network based on minimum complementary sets of species will be inadequate if several species are represented in marginal or peripheral areas of their ranges.”
Ecotones: Marginal or Central Areas of Transition? (2006, methodology): “…to simultaneously conserve high species richness and zones of high beta diversity and complementarity (Araújo and Williams, 2001; Spector, 2002, but see Gaston et al., 2001, for potential conservation concerns regarding complementarity), as well as evolutionary processes (Schilthuizen, 2000).”
How large do reserve networks need to be (2001, background): “…need for caution in the interpretation and implementation of the results obtained when selecting minimum complementary sets, and the belief that complementary reserve planning must take viability considerations into account (e.g. Rodrigues et al. 2000a,b; Gaston et al. 2001; see also Fahrig 2001).”
Spatial Variation in Species Diversity and Composition of Forest Lepidoptera in Eastern Deciduous Forests of North America (2003, background): “%) of the species in a community (also see Gaston et al. 2001).”
Measuring beta diversity for presence–absence data (2003, background): “A novel approach to evaluating beta diversity (although not a novel measure) for data on grid systems , was suggested recently by Gaston et al. (2001). β g was estimated across transects in four different directions (W–”
Energy, species richness, and human population size: conservation implications at a national scale (2003, background): “Gaston et al. (2001) identified 30 optimal solutions, each one requiring 19 quarter-degree cells, to represent each avian species in at least one grid cell across South Africa and Lesotho (overlapped, these 30 solutions occupy 53 cells).”
