Ecological Impacts of Alien Species: Quantification, Scope, Caveats, and Recommendations (2015, background): “Manipulative species-addition field experiments are technically feasible (appendix S2; Meffin et al. 2010) but highly challenging, because the prevention of the establishment and spread of the alien species outside experimental plots has to be a priority in the experimental setting.”
Acoustic Indices for Biodiversity Assessment and Landscape Investigation (2014, neutral): “The motivation to find such a unique parameter derives probably from the request of managers, politicians and policy makers who need a single and easy to understand value to take conservation decisions [62, 63].”
When can we trust population trends? A method for quantifying the effects of sampling interval and duration (2019, methodology): “When data are available on measurement error and population variability, power analyses are recommended to estimate degree of reliability in trend estimates (Hayes & Steidl, 2002; Magurran et al. , 2010; Johnson et al. , 2014).”
Predicting a global insect apocalypse (2019, background): “Multiple Long-Term Ecological Research projects track different facets of ecosystems in different ways (Magurran et al., 2010).”
The geometric mean of relative abundance indices : a biodiversity measure with a difference (2011, background): “Thus, effective measures of biodiversity trend from long-term datasets are required, to assess success or failure in meeting the targets (Pereira and Cooper 2006, Mace and Baillie 2007, Magur- ran et al. 2010).”
Herbarium specimens reveal increasing herbivory over the past century (2018, background): “However, interactions between plants and their associates, and species interactions more generally, are understudied in the context of long-term anthropogenic environmental change because long-term data on these interactions are relatively rare (Magurran et al., 2010).”
Temporal β diversity—A macroecological perspective (2019, background): “In addition, maintaining time series, and providing continuity between data sets if taxonomy or sampling methods change (Magurran et al., 2010), is a priority. and Zenodo repository (https://zenodo.org/record/1095627 ); downloaded 21 June 2018.”
Citizen science reveals trends in bat populations: The National Bat Monitoring Programme in Great Britain (2015, methodology): “Data generated by monitoring schemes are used to inform conservation priorities, assess responses to anthropogenic change, determine and evaluate management actions and produce bioindicators to assess the state of ecosystems (Balmford et al., 2003; Jones et al., 2011; Loh et al., 2005; Magurran et a”
Large carabid beetle declines in a United Kingdom monitoring network increases evidence for a widespread loss in insect biodiversity (2012, background): “2008), and studying species in isolation is unlikely to deliver a holistic understanding of the mechanisms driving their populations because their responses are linked to networks of interacting taxa (Magurran et al. 2010).”
Monitoring temporal change of bird communities with dissimilarity acoustic indices (2014, background): “The estimation of temporal change of biodiversity, including communities, has been therefore recently identified as a major task in ecology that should be challenged with specific sampling and analytic tools (Magurran et al. 2010; Magurran 2011; Dornelas et al. 2013).”
A review of post-war changes in rice farming and biodiversity in Japan (2015, background): “Despite the acknowledged importance of long-term monitoring (Magurran et al., 2010), there are few such studies of agricultural landscapes in Asian countries.”
