• Bryophytes as potential indicators of forest integrity (2007, background): “Many of these initiatives have adopted the principles of criteria and indicators: identification of specific desired endpoints (‘‘focal conservation targets,’’ Parrish et al., 2003 ), criteria (measurements or assessments of ‘‘key ecological attributes’’ of these target states, Parrish et al., 2003”
• Management costs for small protected areas and economies of scale in habitat conservation (2011, background): “In general, evidencing the impact that a particular management intervention has had on the ecological condition of a protected area is known to be challenging (Parrish et al., 2003; Gaston et al., 2006).”
• Ecological mechanisms linking protected areas to surrounding lands. (2007, background): “This synthesis is meant to enhance the theoretical underpinning of efforts to assess the effectiveness of protected areas (e.g., Parrish et al. 2003) and systematic conservation planning across regions including protected areas (Margules and Pressey 2000).”
• From comparative risk assessment to multi-criteria decision analysis and adaptive management: recent developments and applications. (2006, background): “Many monitoring frameworks have been developed, covering either specific types of areas such as multinational large marine ecosystems (LMEs) (Duda and Sherman, 2002) or protected areas in general (Parrish et al., 2003), and ranging from simple data collection to sophisticated statistical methods (Si”
• Motivations for Conserving Urban Biodiversity (2010, background): “Furthermore, having an explicit purpose is necessary for tailoring our approach to urban conservation and for assessing whether such actions are effective (Parrish et al. 2003).”
