Identification of Priority Areas for Grizzly Bear Conservation and Recovery in Alberta, Canada (2009, background): “Grizzly bears (Ursus arctos L.) are a conservation icon in North America, frequently used as a focal and/or flagship species for conservation (Noss et al. 1996, Simberloff 1999, Carroll et al. 2001).”
Quantifying the influence of topographic position on cougar (Puma concolor) movement in southern California, USA (2006, background): “Wide-ranging nocturnal carnivores are widely used as umbrella species in conservation planning at the scale of thousands of square kilometers (Beier, 1996; Soule´ & Terborgh, 1999; Maehr et al., 2002; Carroll, Noss & Paquet, 2003 ).”
Selecting traits that explain species–environment relationships: a generalized linear mixed model approach (2013, neutral): “The multivariate version of the fourth-corner problem is the RLQ ordination (Dolédec et al. 1996, Choler 2005) which has been used for selecting the best traits in plant functional trait analyses (BernhardtRomermann et al. 2008).”

HUMAN ACTIVITY MEDIATES A TROPHIC CASCADE CAUSED BY WOLVES (2005, background): “Trophic cascades, and the related concept of keystone species (Paine 1969, Power et al. 1996), have become enshrined in conservation biology as a ratio- nale and justification for conservation strategies focusing on vertebrate carnivores (Simberloff 1998, Carroll et al. 2001).”
Usefulness of the Umbrella Species Concept as a Conservation Tool (2004, background): “…in this category are usually vertebrates, typically large mammalian carnivores (Eisenberg 1980; East 1981; Peterson 1988; Shafer 1990; Noss et al. 1996; Carroll et al. 2001), herbivores (Mealy & Horn 1981; Wallis de Vries 1995; Berger 1997), or birds (Martikainen et al. 1998; Suter et al. 2002).”

SEASONAL AND DIEL PATTERNS OF GRIZZLY BEAR DIET AND ACTIVITY IN WEST-CENTRAL ALBERTA (2006, background): “Given such vulnerabilities and large area requirements, grizzly bears have been considered a focal or flagship species for conservation planning (Carroll et al. 2001; Noss et al. 1996, 2002).”

Identifying spatial components of ecological and evolutionary processes for regional conservation planning in the Cape Floristic Region, South Africa (2003, background): “A second, related, approach to addressing processes in conservation planning is to parameterise design criteria with information on the specific requirements of selected species, often referred to as ‘focal species’ (Lambeck, 1997; Carroll et al., 2001).”
