Conservation opportunities across the world's anthromes (2014, methodology): “Others have used biogeographical frameworks to identify ‘gaps’ in the coverage of protected areas (e.g. Rodrigues et al., 2004).”
Global patterns of terrestrial vertebrate diversity and conservation (2013, background): “Although many previous efforts did make comparisons across taxa (7–12), only two looked at protection efforts (8, 9).”
Geographic distribution patterns and status assessment of threatened plants in China (2008, result): “Among these, the two regions of Yunnan Province and the mountainous region of the Sichuan basin are consistent with the global gap analysis results for threatened species by Rodrigues et al. (2004).”
Assessing threats to pool-breeding amphibian habitat in an urbanizing landscape (2009, background): “Incorporating habitat risk assessment into the conservation planning process can allocate limited resources where conservation needs are greatest (Scott et al., 1993; Margules and Pressey, 2000; Lawler et al., 2003; Rodrigues et al., 2004).”
The world's biogeographical regions: cluster analyses based on bat distributions (2005, background): “Currently, the concepts of ‘diversity centres’ and ‘biogeographical regions’ run at almost equal strength, and both approaches have led to sophisticated applications in conservation planning (e.g. Thackway & Cresswell, 1995; Rodrigues et al., 2004).”
Very Large Protected Areas and Their Contribution to Terrestrial Biological Conservation (2010, background): “…of preserving those areas of wilderness that remain, whether or not these areas necessarily have high levels of biodiversity (Mackey et al. 1998, Sanderson et al. 2002, Watson et al. 2009), and some have argued that wilderness areas should form the core of a protected area system (Mackey et al.…”
